NO CHANGE IN THE CONTRACTS

When asked if the trolley companies were to be
charged any increase over the five cents car
for the great advantage which they would gain
under the new plan Mr. Berri said that there
would be no change In the present contract with
the surface lines He said that the reason the
trustees had not decided originally TO charge
trolley companies more was largely due 10 the
fact that II was believed the more the trolley
companies charged. the more they would
crowd their passengers by running fewer cars.
He said that the advantages to be gained by the
trolley companies. and, in fact. the elevated com,
panies also. depended altogether upon Increased
population. as they would have no increase OF IN
come whatever unless they carried more passen-
to them to carry passengers me andiI S MS
lance the Bridge at no additional charge. IL
would require considerable Increase In the popu-
lation of Brooklyn, he said, to enable these com
panies TO pay the OF laying tracks across the
Bridge and the toll that they would pay the trus-
tees. which would amount to good dea OF money rnc
to make this additional money out OF merely au-
ditional passengers across the Bridge but they
children OF these passengers. as they would use
the railroads In travelling from BROOKLYN aiter
becoming residents OF this city. He said that the
financial advantages to he gained ny the troney
COMPANIES were so problematical that many OF the
stockholders were strongly opposed TO entering
into this arrangement at all ,

cause passengers cannot he picked up az intervals
