The school teachers of Brooklyn who hold the

heads of departments hold principals certificates,

LINDENTH4L LEARNS LITTLE.
NOT MUCH BRIDGE TRAVEL INFORMATION
DROPPED IN HIS COUPON BOXES.

Bridge Commissioner Lindenthals plan for
collecting information from people crossing the
Brooklyn Bridge regarded yesterday as
something worse than a failure. Policemen on
the bridge said about one person in every hun
dred stopped to drop coupons in the boxes at
the terminal Some Of the coupons were blank,
instead Of having written on them the informa-
tion wanted by Mr.. LindenthaI as 70 residence.
place Of business. hours of crossing and ferry
travel preferred. Some persons put newspapers
in the boxes apparently thinking that the boxes
were collecting agencies for hospitals although
each box was marked plainly with the words:
Drop coupons in this box
Some uncertain persons dropped bridge tickets
in the boxes and then bewailed their mistake.
Mr. Lindenthal not ready 10 talk about the
failure OF his plan yesterday He was still deep
in study OF the plan for four additional loops
for the trolley cars at the Manhattan terminal
He hopes that the railroad companies and prop
erty owners interested in the bridge crush viii

loops
