c. b. Holmes president of the Chicago Cable Kali
way Company, was in this city Yesterday, and
called upon Superintendent Martin OF the Brooklyn
Bridge in company with ex-senator John o. BOYD.
He stated that if his system, now In operation III
Chicago was used on the Bridge 5000 persons per
hour could be carried each way and no more room
would be needed than is required now By run
ming trains more frequently $4,000 passengers per
hour he said could be carried each way. lie added
that of course he would dispense with all locomo-
tivcs and with the services OF the men now EN-
poyed to lift the cable 70 the grip, and would not
interfere with the traffic while the change was being
made. A proposition was made to the authorities
in control of the Bridge TO carry passengers for
cents apiece on a cable road similar to that In use
III Chicago.
