ANOTHER EXTORTIONATE CHARGE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Can you tell why ii is impossible to secure
cabs or carriages the ferries stations in New
York which will carry trunks as well as passen-
gers? II | wish New-York from sta
ton another. with few trunks. ii is necessary
to give the trunks to the express, which delivers
them probably late catch the train
II l wish to take my trunks with me on cab
10 a hotel residence. II is not possible TO do
I must give my trunks to the express. which de-
livers them often too late for my immediate uses.
When I left London for New-York in 1895 I wrote
the Euston Station for bus, which called at
my hotel and took three passengers and four
trunks to the station distance of two and a half
miles for four shIllngs-sl, 1t cost to take the
same party and trunks from the steamship pier
In New-York to the ferry distance Of half a

tionate charges. The cabman entitled to 81

THINKS THE PEOPLE SHOULD OWN 1T

From The New-York American and Journal
There is beginning TO be talk Of an East Side
subway.
Engineer Parsons of the Rapid Transit Commits
So does President orr of the Rapid Transit Com
mission.
So does Contractor Mcdonald.
Perhaps Il is a good idea. New-fork. great and
growing, needs all the means Of quick and safe
transportation that 1t get on -easonable terms
But there must be no further giving away OF
franchises worth hundreds of millions of dollars
There has been than enough of that kind OF
spoation of the people.
Contractor Mcdonald expresses his willingness
TO build an East Side subway the same terms
as have been given him for the now under
construction.
That is kind of him. The city pays for the sub
way and gets it-or, rather, the capitalists be-
hind him do
When an East Side subway shall be decided upon
the people own ii well as pay for it,
There is earth why the CITY should
be taxed 10 construct underground railroads that
VIII finished become private property Tor a
long Of years-the property Of men who DO
not spend a dollar for their creation.
The Rapid Transit Commission has only 10 ask
for the passage OF law to make the next sub
way public property in order TO have the law
passed
Tntn have such law there will be no more
subwAys built public expense. If the people or
NeW-York possess any business sense

BIG DEMAND FROM THE BRONX
EAST SIDE SUBWAY RESOLUTIONS TO BE PRESENTED TO
CENTRAL TAXPAYERS ALLIANCE


The fact is becoming more and more evident
without an East Side subway, affording a direct
route TO the lower part Of Manhattan. there will
be as many strap hangers travelling the
underground railroad under construction as
there are at present on the elevated and surface
lines The words Of William Barclay Parsons
chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission
which were spoken the day after the contract
was Jet 10 Mr.. Mcdonald. and printed in The
Tribune on January 2S, 1900 are now recognized
as truly prophetic. and their significance is
finally being understood. Mr.. Parsons at that
time said
But this (the present rOute) is a full solu-
rfon of the rapid transit problem. The number
OF strap hangers between here and Harlem
will rot be diminished by one. The city will
grow with the added rapid transit facilities, just
as il always has done. 1t is true that the new
road viii be able to carry more people than the
elevated road, but there will be people TO
carry.
The fact is thus becoming evident that with
out East Side subway. running south in Lex
tngton-ave. or some avenue to the east Of Cen
tral Park even those districts tapped by
the rapid transit system Will not enjoy the full
blessings of such a system. There is TO be no
express service north Of One-hundred-a -and-third-
St. and with the Port Chester road en1ptying its
passengers which it has gathered up along the
twenty miles Of Long Island Sound shore which
Il skirts into the LenoX-ave. branch the natural
congestion will be the more increased
