There were several subway parties. crowd

There were some delays; IL was not possible to
start such a tremendous undertaking without some

by having to depend in the main green men. or
men who were strange TO this work.
Only accident reported TO me. That
caused delay Of over ten minutes A sOuthbOund
express train delayed at the FOurteenth-st.
station by the bursting Of air hose. This acCi-
dent caused some little crOwding at the Brooklyn
Bridge station the platform at that time being
filled with people, but three express trains came
in one after another and completely cleaned up
the crowd
Mr.. Hedley said that with the present equipment
the road could handle 100000 people a day in the
subway. He said that it will be possible in a few
weeks to double the rolling stock, and that with
increased transportation facilities the subway will
be able to handle one million people day, provided
that they were distributed through at average
OF $1,000 an hour.
As 10 whether not the opening Of the subway
would relieve the crush the elevated and surface
systems in the rush hours, Mr.. Hedley said that
he did not care TO prophesy. 1t had been found
that the more travelling facilities furnished the
more passengers
