rules which would give to the New-York City
civil Service Commission the power to cancel

Iuses to grant the request without comment

sioner Kraft in opposition to granting the re-
quest, in which he said:
1t is contrary to the spirit of our institutions
mat right obtained by one who submits him
ser on invitation to examination shall be
destroyed without a hearing. 1t Is absolutely
subyersive of the underlying principles of our
Clyll Service to allow the members of board
owing Its existence to change of parties to
destroy the eligible lists created during the term
or their predecessors in office.
The board refused to approve the following
changes in the New-York City classification
proposed by the NewYork City Commission:
Transferring the positions Of purchasing agent
IN the Fire Department. secretary the presi-
dent of the Hospital Board stenogra pher to the
Hospital Board stenographer to the Charities
Commissioner and a stenogra pher to the Deputy
Charity Commissioner for sRrooklyn and Oueens
Deputy Superintendent Of Outdoor Poor for
Brooklyn and Queens and Deputy Superin-
tendent Of Outdoor Poor for Richmond from the
competitive TO the exempt schedule.
The commission approved the following ex-
emptons from Civil Service examination in
New-York City:
Five chief building inspectors, two additional
city paymasters and bellringer in the Normal
College

pany, went TO the office OF Bridge Commissioner

\. Dykman, a lawyer and talked for two hours
regarding plans for additional loops for the troll
ley cars at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn
Bridge c. c. Martin, engineer Of the bridge
was present at the conference. 1t was said later
that the plan for circulating system of trolley
cars on the bridge at rush hours could not be
put in operation until next fall. if at all and
the objections to the use of part of the bridge
plaza in Brooklyn for the necessary loops in
such system might prevent the adoption of
the plan altogether. The plan therefore, had
been abandoned for the present. although Mr..
LindenthaI had urged it strongly as necessary
for the temporary relief of traffic at the rush
hours
The plan for four additional loops at the Man
haitian terminal has been favored by Mr. Great
singer offering a means for preventing some
of the Crowding there at rush hours while per-
mitting passengers to get through rides from
Manhattan to various points in Brooklyn at all
hours. He has declared that the shuttle system
proposed by Mr.. Lindenthal. compelling pasSen-
gers to change cars at the Brooklyn end of the
bridge, would not be tolerated by the public.
At a previous conference yesterday morning
at the office OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany between President Greatsinger, several
other officials of the company and Mr.. Helms. 1t
was decided TO urge the abandonment of the
shuttle plan proposed by Commissioner Linden
thai. and to favor the addition Of four loops at
the Manhattan terminal of the Brooklyn Bridge
which. IT is believed will temporarily, If not
permanently, relieve the congestion Assistant
Engineer Mclean, of the Bridge Department,
loops. and Will have them ready within three or
four days.
