ROSSITER REPLIES TO SHEA.
HE SAYS HE WILL SUBMIT THE REQUEST
FOR INCREASED TOLLS TO THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS

President Clinton l.. Rossiter Of the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad yesterday sent 10 Bridge COM
missioner Shea a reply 10 his request Tor increased
tolls for crossing the Bridge MIR. Rossiter suggests
that until after the elevated roads begin 20 oper-
ate cars the Bridge It Will be fmpracticaole
TO arrive at any Just decision with reference to an
Increase Of Bridge tolls and he also gives the COM
missioner to understand that the subject OF
tolls was thoroughly discussed by the Bridge
Trustees before they left Office. He tells the
Commissioner that he will submit tho matter
TO the directors Of the Heights company. and prom
.ses TO cooperate with the Commissioner from
broad point OF view and in manner to best sud
serve the interests OF the city Among other
things Mr.. Ross'er says:

Ish American War of great historical
value. II will be a series OF pictures In

lures will provide an instructive anu
inspiring survey OF our nations con-
duct OF a war with a foreign power. A

produce with the unerring accuracy OF
the camera those scenes being daily en-
acted that are so replete With Intense
human interest to those at home who
have friends and loved ones at the
front facing the enemy's fire and
guarding the nations honor. The pic
lures that viii appear from week to
week In "our Nation in War" will Wv
Idly portray scenes OF actual lombard
ments, land and sea fights. armies
marching through Cuba, camp scenes In
Chickamauga, Tampa and other points
where our troops are concentrated. The
movements Of our soldiers and sailors
and our battle ships in the Philippines
will be followed with this same energy,
as viii be the movements OF our
armies in Cuba, in the EFFORT to secure
such Photographic records of fits deeds OF
herolsm and Valor that national pride
and public opinion demands to be pre-
served for all time to come. Our artists
at the front are thoroughly equipped to
carry out the great undertaking herein
outlined, and we offer the benefit Of this
service to our readers, who should
make application to this office, or
through carriers or agents, to secure
this set OF war pictures for the beneht
Of the home circle.
