TOO MANY PASSENGERS.
The East Side Elevated Road Unable TO
Carry Al Who Wish 10 Ride.

Many complaints are made Of the accom-
mediation afforded 10 passengers on the cast
side New York Elevated Railroad between the
hours OF and 2. VI. The Battery Park sta
ton is designed TO accommodate the passengers
OF both the east and west side roads. The depot.
early in the day. is sufficient to accommodate
the travel, but after p VI. the rush is SO great
that the narrow structure called depot is in
sufficient Trains start every two minutes At
the ring OF bell the doors are showed. shutting
on those VINO are not fortunate enough to get
through before the expiration Of the two NM
utts. Many OF these trains went of last eve
ning hnli iilled, while many persons waited on
the platform for the next one. At the Franklin
square station the waiting throng filed the
tram. ana every seat was taken. At Canal and
hfahl streets the passengers We're So many
that II wns possible TO pack only lew more
on the train. AS each successive train arrived
at this depot. M many rs could struggled to
get on: but few succeeded in doing SO. nnd
not until the rush WAS over did many II the
nrst corners get an opportunity 10 get up town.
AT Fourteenth street, between sand g. thu rush
was 50 great that il would have been impossible
10 accommodate the people with less than trains
at one minutes interval. and even then some
would have had 10 wait.
