CARS FOR BROOKLYN.

Albany. Dec. 3-The State Board Of Railroad
commissioners to-day gave out a report on the

On the surface lines, including service cars, viii
oe ABOUT Ir-yt The average OF OLsr-
ISeu curing the non-rush hours will be about 545.
ne natural query IS, If the company can operate
IND cars during the rush hours, why can ii not
operate more than an average Of 5i5 during the
non-rush hours? The reason for this large differ
ehce IN the number of cars operated during off
terent portions Of the day is that in order TO as
nearly as possible accommodate the traffic during
lne rush hours the power apparatus is worked 10
d point TAR beyond its normal capacity.
After the rush hours the load must be reduced
ana the machines allowed 70 regain their normal
temperature. and during tho nOn-rush hours some
or the units must be shut down each day for re-
pairs; hence the necessity for reducing the num-
Der Of cars operated during these hours.
The board, after careful consideration OF all
OF the existing conditions and the danger involved
in any impairment of the service during the rush

that the company at present safely operate
fifty during the nOn-rush hours and
