worst Of the crowding is unnecessary ana III
cxcusablc as a little observation VIII SHOW II
Is perfectly obvious that much OF II might Nv
avoided by running more ears. for when 'n'r'
arr, ample facilities And much more OF "
might be avoided by making proper use OF the
cars that are now I'm use.
Take. for example the Brooklyn Bridge anu
the BROOKLYN Elevated Railroad. The Brldgc
ears are provided thanks 10 The Tribune per
slstent urging years ago-with platforms wiho
enouph for the passage of two persons abreast
and i'm addition with side doors Of still greater
width AT the middle of the ears. These sac
doors are opened for the ingress and egress OF
passcngers The result Is that passengers can
enter each car six at n time. to wit, two abreast
at each end and two more abreas, at the cen
ire and so there is comparatively little crowd
ing. When The Tribune first suggested the use
D
made to them on various grounds. But the i'm
provpmcnts were finally adopted, anu h"N'
proved most successful
But when one leaves the Bridge at the Brook
lyn end and goes up 10 the Brooklyn Elevated
Railroad he finds different state Of aiIalrs.
The crowd there is. because OF the fewneSS OF
trains much greater than on the Bridge. when
n train comes in to the platform II IS found 10
have nj the ends of the ears the old-fashioned
narrow platforms. giving pasSag" To only one
person at a time. At the centre OF each ear
there is n side door Of ample width for the
massage Of two abreast. But these side doors
are never opened. There are no men on the
uniform 10 open them. and they are fastened
so that the passengers themselves cannot open
them The result is that the people are com
PEELED To crowd into the ears only two AT n
time instead of six. rs on the Bridge. and the
discomfort and iammlng are thus three times
as great rs on the Bridge. II would reduce the
evil n, least onc-half if the company would only
have half a dozen men on the platform for
couple of hours each day. to open and close the
side doors of the cars Rather than 90 to that
slight expense. the company deliberately sub
iccts It's patrons 10 Outrages which. if inflicted
upon cattle would bring upon the doors the
penalty of the law against cruelty 10 animals
The Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company
ought without another days delay TO remedy
this evil by putting into use the doors with
which It's cars are already provided. Not To do
so will indicate deliberate careessncss of the
public welfare. and an unwillingness TO serve
the public even 10 the extent which present IA
citics make possible and easy.

We never heard that Colonel Gardeners fit

reason to suppose that he thought II ought 10
