"PRO BONO pyBLICO."

II Is 10 be assumed that the managers OF pub
lie transportation lines in the various boroughs
OF this city have no malevolent desire wantonly
to dis"ommode the people. They are simply
aiming TO make as great profits for themselves
possible. SO long rs they are doing that they
DO rot object to the serving of the public CON
venence and comfort. They are even willing TO
promote and increase the latter in so far that
can he done without expense to themselves. and
perhaps are willing 10 incur some merely nomi-
nal expense to that end, provided there is
assurance that it will be more than recouped in
increased profits. In this view of the case it
may be pertinent and we trust not altogether
ineffective 10 renew some suggestions for i'm
prOyement of the service which have frequently
hitherto been made.
One, perhaps the most obvious is that infor-
nation should be given TO the public OF the time
of running trains and cars when these are run
at considerable intervals. All the railroads
extending out Of the city post. and print for
free public distribution, time tables giving accu-
rate information 70 the time each train leaves
or arrives at the terminals and stops at each
way station. They do even in the case of
suburban trains which run at short intervals.
We can see no reason why the same should not
be done by the elevated railroads. and even by
surface lines, which at times run trains and
cars at longer intervals than on the suburban
railroads. 1t is n real hardship to a busy man
at q busy hour of the day to climb to an ele-
waited railroad station, pay his fare and pass
through the turnstile, and then have to wait ten
or fifteen minutes for n train. Had he known
at what time the train would come along he
might have spent that time profitably elsewhere
and have come to the station just in time for
the train. Similarly, on the surface roads. it is
a hardship on a stormy day or on a bitterly cold
night for people to go ont and wait on an open
street corner from ten TO twenty minutes for
car when with proper information they might
have remained indoors and gone out just in time
for the
AS we said at the beginning, the cost of such
an arrangement would be merely nominal 1t
would not cost cent more TO run trains and
cars on schedule time than at irregular and
unknown intervals. On the elevated roads
there are no distractions TO traffic and there
fore nothing TO disarrange the schedule Nor
are there, generally speaking. such Instructions
on the surface lines. because the lines which
run cars so nfrequently those which trav.
erse streets not subject 10 blockade The only
cost would be in the printing of time tables,
and that would be so slight to be unworthy
OF the consideration of even a street railroad
s'magnate," and it would doubtless be far more
than countervailed by consequent gains, for
there is no doubt that thousands of people hav-
ing moderate distances to go now walk be-
cause of the uncertainty in the time of cars
who would ride if information of such time
were available. The suggestion is earnestly TO
be commended to the railroad companies as one

treated In a scandalous manner by the
neighbor, who attributed to the depre-

Of certain game and poultry which had
