Disabled Boiler Ties Up Traffic for

Owing TO an accident in power house of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. from whch the
power for the trolley cars on the bridge Is sup
piled traffic the bridge blocked for twenty
five minutes beginning 5:45 D. st the heignt
of the rush hours. Yesterday. The delay. coming
at the time it did. caused big jamb at the bridge
entrance. but owing to efficient police service
there was no excitement trouble OF any knd.
Many of the Brooklynites waiting impatiently to
get their homes, protested loudly but the ma
iorty shivered in silence and waited for the power
to be turned
Captain Kenney of the Bridge station. on
patrol duty at the Manhattan end Of the Bridge He
had about thirty under his command. He
called Roundsman Farrell. of the same station. and
sent him along the promenade to gather in as
many he could. Farrell succeeded in get
ting eight additional men.
AT first the patromen told the people to go up
to the Bridge trains Then word came that the
cable cars were blocked and Captain Kenney at
once stationed men at the stairways leading up to
the train platform and prevented any more people
from going up there.
The of the delay of the cable cars was
owing to the Brighton Beach electric trains, which
had lost their power. and the fact that the power
of the cable the terminal which is changed
electricity, had been lost. This power was quick
" restored, however. from another source. and
after delay of seven minutes the train proceeded
Down below those persons who desired to take
the trolley cars less tortupate. They were
compelled to wait for twenty-five minutes before
the cars started and owing to the immense crowd
which had gathered many waited over half an
hour.
At the Brooklyn end of the Bridge the elevated
trains crowded that in many instances the
gates the platforms could not be closed IT
this condition the trains rapidly by all
the downtown stations. as it would have been use
less TO stop.
All of the trouble caused in this way. Inc
heavy wind brought in high tide, which backed
and broke one of the condensers IN one OF the
waterfront power houses of the Edison Iluminat-
ing Company This put one of the boilers out of
commission, ard the Edison company was obliged
to shut off some of the power it furnishing
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Extra
pressure had to be put the power houses of the
railroad company, and two tubes in one of the
boilers blew out allowing all the steam to escape
All of the dynanlos had be shut of
in fifteen minutes the steam connections
arranged that all of the other boilers that had
been in operation were again sending steam to
the engines Twenty minutes later an extra boiler
was in commission.

GREAT CONGESTION IN RUSH HOURS
Falling Wall at Fire Crushed Part of Second
ave. Elevated Structure.

As a result of the leather factory fire at
Houston and Allen sts- the congestion on the
Second and Third ave. elevated lines in the
rush hours yesterday afternoon was unprece-
dented. The congestion was greatest at the
City Hall station. There for two hours every
inch of available space taken. and many
persons lad narrow escapes from being pushed
from the platform. The trains were not run
any regular scedule, and as many were run as
possible.
From South Ferry to Chatham Square the
station platforms were unusually crowded. for
those who were in the habit OF taking the Sec
ond-ave. trains were forced to resort to the
Third-ave. line the surface
But. utilizing the switch south of Fourteenth
ST.. on the Second-ave line. the Manhattan Rail-
way Company was able to run a minute
schedule of trains on that line from Fourteenth
st. to One-hundred- and twenty -ninth-st Those
who desired to go to any Second-ave. station
north of Thirty -fourth-st. from point below
Fourteenth-st. were transferred to the Second
ave line from the Third-ave. line at Thirty
fourth-st, on the shuttle trains which run 10
the Thirty-fourth-st ferry. This relieved the
congestion north of Thirty -fourth-st the
Third-ave. line.
Every effort is being made to repair the dam
age done to the Seeond-ave. line at Houston
and Allen sts.. and it is probable that trains will
be running through on the line to-day.
There little extra congestion on the West
Side lines on account of the delay on the other
lines Traffic heavier. but 1t was laid to
the cold weather
The surface lines caught most of the over
flow and the Second-ave- electric cars, run on a
forty-ive second schedule. were packed to suffo-
cation, and blocks of few minutes fire.

Just before the rush hour traffic the
Third-ave. elevated line was blocked for fifteen
minutes. owing TO a breakdown of one of the
dynamos in the power house at Seventy-fourth-

and the uptown stations crowded with shoppers

preciated by taxpayers when they come TO
realize its full meaning to them. In the hrst

an even and uniform tax rate in the future, or
III the event of increase II Will result IN
fixing the responsibility upon the officers of the
municipality. In the past, with property as
sessed at huctuating percentages. ithas been an
easy matter of the municipal authorities. when
ever they found that they were spending an
unusually large amount of money, to go out, and
put UP the assessments here and there. and thus
make up the deficiency. On the other hand,
with the present uniform assessment, with all
property assessed at its full value such tricks
will be impossible, and the people will be able
TO tell whether an administrator is extrava

The Controller added that. in his opinion. the
actual amount of the tax bills will be lower in
dollars and cents than in any previous year

the new rolls all those legally liable for per-
