The wrecking wagon began to make the
rounds, but so many were the calls that
they could accomplish nothing.
Reports from all over Brooklyn were
that the trolley and elevated service had
practically ceased at O'Clock. At $50
o clock the electricity had become so
weak that cars could barely creep along.
