THE NEWS OF BROOKLYN.
DELAYED BY BRIDGE TRUSTEES.
THEIR FAILURE TO MEET RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE LONGTIME CONTRACT
FOR THE MAII-TUBE

The pop7llar farce entitled How Not to Hold a
Meeting" which is played by the Bridge Trustees
every month"; is responsible for the delay OF one OF
the most important public improvements the pneu-
matte tube for the carriage OF n all between New
York and Brooklyn. This scheme has been talked
Of for years. but not until Mr.. Sullivan took charge
Of the Brooklyn Office was any definite step taken
toward putting 1t in operation.
The arrangements were first made last sum-
mer. The company then promised to perform the
work in three months. and had the arrangements
been carried out the tubes would have been ready
for business before fall. 1t was. however,
necessary to get the right of way from the Bridge
Trustees. This could only be granted at a regular
meeting and the indispositon OF the trustees to
hold meetings is a subject of general notorety.
The Postoffce authorities patiently stalked the
trustees for months without getting a shot
at them Whenever a meeting was called the repre-
sentatives of the Government and of the company
were on hand. but the trustees were not.
When at last "A quorum obtained. and the
necessary proceedings taken. cold weather had set
in The company then refused to make three
months contract on account Of the uncertainty
Of the weather They made contract 10 expire IN
nine months that instead of having the Pheu-
matic tube system in operation last fall, the TWO
cities will not enjoy benefits Of this Improvement
until next August.
The trustees have not yet held their January
meeting. which should have taken place last Mon
day Mr. Henriques. who is always present an
