ED on THE ELEVATED ROADS
William BERT. the new president o. the Bridge
Trustees has been the recipient OF many consratu
lations and compliments because OF the new policy
adopted by him in reference TO running trains be-
tween New-York and Brooklyn late at night About
ten days ago the Roadway OF all trains between 9
p m and q. m. was reduced TO three minutes
Previously It had been six minutes after midnight
and there were many complaints from BROOKLYN
ties who happened TO be detained on the other side
or the river until q late hour. and then by missing
a Bridge train also missed elevated train or
troley-car when they reached BROOKLYN With
characteristic energy Mr. Berri determined 10 make
an end 10 complaints and establish a service that
would give general satisfaction.
or course train every three minutes IA Par
better service than Is given by the elevated roads
or the surface ears, and there is loud demand
that the elevated roads shall cut down the time
between their trains in the early hours OF the morn
ing After a. these trains are run at intervals
OF half an hour II is only within four or five years
that a.l-night service established on these
roads trains at first being al intervals OF forty
five minutes. The time seems 10 have come for
reduction below half an hour. and many BROOKLYN
ties are OF the opinion that fifteen minute trains
should be provided.
The example set by the Bridge ought 10 have an
effect on the elevated roads II IS small satisfac-
ton TO avoid any delay at the New-York Bridge
station r. after crossing the river, has wait
twenty or twenty-five minutes for elevated train
or in default Of one take trolley-car Complaints
Of the nadequa OF the present elevated rail-
way serv!ea have been made to Bridge President
Berri in the last few DAYS. but Of course, he has

road than had ever been thought height OF before
