BE ACCEPTED WE'RE NOT POSTED IN

COMPLAINTS have come to the Tribune OF the
failure Of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Com
pany and Of the Bridge Department to post in
the terminals Of the Bridge suitable notices
warning holders Of old Bridge tickets that they
are no longer accepted by the elevated company
which now operates the Bridge railroad
1t seems that IN the contract between the
elevated company and Commissioner Shea the
company agreed T. a certain number OF the
quantity Of tickets which the Bridge Department
had left over. This arrangement was discoh-
tinued about week ago. and the company be-
gan using tickets of it's own design. Since then
there has been not a little confusion. and the
ticket choppers have had their patience tried in
perpetualIy restraining people from dropping in
the old tickets into the boxes and in explaining
that they were no longer received. great
many people did not notice the announcement
Of tho change printed in the newspapers and
have not had their attention called to the fact
that their old tickets would be redeemed by the
Bridge Department.
For instance a man who lives in Hancock-st
and who works for big Manhattan firm bought
a supply Of the old Bridge tickets. One morn
ing after the recent change he dropped one or
these tickets into the box, and was told that II
was no good When ne asked for the return
Of his money he was informed that he would
have TO apply to the ticket-seer, who in turn.
referred him to the office" of the Bridge. AT
the latter place he had dispute that was not
pleasant. and was apparently unnecessary.
When reporter asked Deputy commissioner
Beam Yesterday about these complaints he said
when published notice in the papers or
the discontinuance Of the old tickets on the
Bridge. and the fact that they would be re-
deemed al the Bridge office we thought that
was sufficient notice to the public People have
been coming here at the rate Of thirty or forty
a day 10 get their money refunded
An employe If the Bridge Department who
stood near Mr. Beam said

on ticket for which he had paid only two ana
one half cents. and we promptly refused TO give
more than two cents. We could not split the
