MORE EICHT-WHEELED CARS.
THE HEIGHTS COMPANY CONSULTING THE COM
FORT OF ITS PATRONS-HOW THE
TRANSFERS WORK.


TRANSFERS WORK.
When the system OF transfers was established BY
the Brooklyn Heights Company an extensive
scale It was said by OF the officers OF the com
pany that 1t was virtually experimental and that II
It did not prove successful 1t would probably be
abandoned II has certainly proved popular with
the travelling public. and 1t is evident that 1t Is
satisfactory the company. since one or two new
transfer points have just been announced. when
will make 1t still easier for travellers to take long
rides for the cost Of single fare.
The new transfer points enable one TO change
from any Of the Fultonst. lines to the Third-ave
cars at Flatbush-ave. and so reach Fort Hamilton
and Bensonhurst without the necessity OF gong
down TO Cour-st. Now. why should not passengers
by the lines first mentioned also have the privilege
OF transferring the Flatbush-ave cars and gong
TO Prospect Park and Bergen Beach FOR nickel?
This Is question which the companys officials
may well consider.
one thing that this company has done for the adj
vantage of its patrons is to increase the number OF
cars with eight wheels run on some OF It's lines.
During the recent weather number of open
eight-wheelers made their appearance. and Presi-
dent Rosster says that in a few days about
one hundred fine new will be put in operation
mainly the Greene and Gates-ave. line These
city; they viii have double trucks and VIII be
handsome and well appointed in every way.
To one VINO has ridden In the ordinary style or
trolley-car on the lines OF this company with It's
unsteadiness and pitching notion the change 20 a
car with eight wheels Is pleasant experience. The
latter smoothly and there is most noticeable
absence OF the swaylng and tossing about tina, IN
duces frequent headaches in those OF Il delicate
nervous sanzation.
The general substitution OF eight-wheelers for the
type OF car most in would be notable improve
ment but is likely to be brought about AT once.
Still the company provides new cars. II Is TO be
hoped that II will adhere 10 the policy of pur-
chasing those which add to the comfort OF its
patrons the long cars unquestionably do. Be-
sides II IL money in the pockets OF the company TO
do this since a long car carries greater number
OF passengers. while demanding the services or
single conductor and motorman.

tried yesterday before Justice Van Wyck and jury
in the Supreme Court. Mr. Sims alleges that from
1887 10 1892 Wissel paid $500 year TO him for his
services in connection with the contract. He asserts
that In 1891 when the city advertised for bids for the
next five years, Wssel agreed 10 pay him sl.Vco
year for five years If he would secure the CONTRACT
FOR him. The contract was awarded TO WisseI on
