dent VreeIand officially declared that con-

Mr. Vreelands official opinion. which may nave
been his personal opinion also, commanded
little support at the time. being squareiy op-
posed to all the evidence then available
Since then an additional proof that MT Nree-
land was wrong has been supplied by means OF
the open cars which have been put on elevated
vailroad trains There is a regulation FORBID
ding conductors TO let passengers stand between
the seats of such cars and the regulation Is
ricid1v enforced Has its enforcement ever
caused riot? No. How many conductors
have heen mauled half to death? Not single
one. Has Mr.. Vreeland who may occasionally
ride on an elevated train, ever heard excluded
Messengers utter threats and profane eJacula-
tious? We doubt it. There is seldom even an
attempt to violate rule which Is ALREADY wen
understood. But if, once in while, such an at
tempt is ignorantly or wilfully made, the start
ing signal is delayed until the intruder mas
withdrawn. There is general contentment In
the car and no breach of peace on the platform
In short the rule works perfectly
1t would not be quite so easy at hrst TO en-
force a similar regulation on open surface cars;
hut if they were built with the seats slightly
nearer together. as the open elevated railroad
cars are. so that the space between the seats,
NOW unnecessarily wide did not plainly encour-
age crowding there would be no trouble after
q little while In that case car would not
carry so many passengers, and consequently
the company would have TO run more cars III

yreeland saws ii is impossible to run more cars
during the rush hours. Though that is mere
assumption he may be right; but, If So It does
not necessarily follow that those who succeed
in getting seats are not entitled to ride In decent
comfort because others want to get aboard
that the utmost capacity of every car must be
made available on demand. AS for the non
rush hours of the day, and especially Of the
night. more cars might be run well as not,
and everybody knows it, including Mr.. Nree-

CLOSING DRAWBRTDGES.

Tho efforts of the Merchants Association Of
New-Yorll 10 bring about the closing of the
drawbridges over Newark Bay and the Hacken-
sack and Passaic rivers during the rush hours
of communication travel are amply fortified by
arguments and facts, and ought to receive gen.
eral public support. This matter is in the
Jurisdiction Of the War Department of the FED
eral government, which has appointed a thor
oughly competent board of army engineers
made up of Colonel Peter c. Hains. Colonel
Amos Stickney, the Assistant Secretary OF war,
William Cary Sanger, and Major William L.
Marshall. to investigate the subject and sub
NIT a report. To that board the Merchants
Association has presented convincing an
array of reasons for its application that the
result can hardly be looked upon as doubtful

the Harlem River whicn had been obstructed
bv the opening of the drawbridges in the busiest
railroad hours Of the day for the passing of
small vessels while crowded trains were de-
layed, and a similar policy in New-Jersey VIII
undoubtedly meet the approval Of people OF
judgment and public spirit
The Merchants Association has obtained
statements from the ablest officials OF the Erie
the Delaware, Lackawanna and western, the
New-JerSey Central and the Pennsylvania rail-
roads, all showing the necessity of changes III
the present methods which will asSuredly ap-
peal to the discretion of the War Department.
Nearly one hundred thousand passengers on
the trains of these four lines may be delayed
upon any one of six business days In the week
by the opening of drawbridges on Newark Bay
and over the two rivers in rush hours. when II
is of the utmost Importance to these passengers
that they shall get to their places of employ
ment and Of business as speedily as possible
The presidents of the railroads mentioned, and
the boards of directors also are extremely desir-
ous in the public interest that obStructOns and
waits in their train service shall be overcome
The multitudes who come to the Borough or
Manhattan every morning in the busiest hours
and return to their homes IN the afternoon or
evening ought not to be held back while draw
bridges are kept open for the passage of small
vessels of little value and importance.
In June, 1902 the principal month in the year
for river navigation in New-Jersey, the average
number Of boats of all kinds which passed
through the Passaic River draw between the
hours of 7:3O I M and 9:30 a. H., and between
$50 D. m and 7:30 p. m, was only two and
half day; but the suburban trains are so
numerous and press so closely each on the
others heels, that the opening of drawDrldse
for even a single craft keeps several trains
waiting in those hours. The four railroads al
ready mentioned are now running 924 passenger
trains on every one of six days of the week.
The total of tugs excursion boats, merchandise
boats and the like Is small in comparison
The Merchants Association in this matter is
apparently working for the greatest good of
the greatest number, and deserves success.
