Many persons had become SO accustomed
to dropping ticket or three cents In front OF
the collectors at each entrance OF the bridge
railroad that they were able to do so while
thinking OF something else. Yesterday they
found that they must have their wits
about them or they couldn't get to the
cars. There was big sign at the stands read
ing. Buy your tickets at the window and drop
them In the box." There was another much
bigger sign at the box Drop your tickets
here" There were policemen with big lunes
ut each side OF tho stands and OF the box. But
In spite Of the policemen and signs everybody
got mixed up. and in the busy hours Of the
morning there were many delays. Some who
had tickets threw them at the collector and
were stopped at tho box Others didn't wait
for tickets. and were stopped in the same way.
The delays were longer and more frequent
on the Brooklyn side than on this side. us thero
is1ess room there On this sido n way is left
back OF tho stand so that those who havo tick
cts can pass directly to the box md drop them
In. Thus they, nre not comnel!ed to wait for
those who arc buying tickets. In the evening
the system worked more smoothly.
