STILL LAUGHS AT LAW.
Ne5c-York City RaiIlcdy REFUSES 70
GiUe Transfer on Transfer.

The fact that while the New-York city Kali
way Company was giving transfers at most OF
the connecting points in the city its conductors
stilI refused to issue transfer on transfer
was brought yesterday to the attention OF at
torneys who in behalf of taxpayers nave ihaue
the fight in the courts for public rights Does
the recent decision Of the Court Of Appeals order
the company 10 issue transfer on transfer
was the question asked by a Tribune reporter
..yVLer The transfer case was heing argued be-
fore the Court OF Appeals said James -
I,ehn1e:er. of No $50 Nassau-st.. a member OF
the Committee of One Hundred of the West size
Taxpayers. lit was practically conceded that II
contention held it would lead TO the conclu-
sior that the New-York City Railway Company
must issue transfers on transfers. That means
that a passenger has the right to ride TO his
destination for one fare no matter how many
transfers from line to another may he in
volved. provided he uses the shortest practical
route. I do not know that need make even
that qualification. The fact seems to be finally
established that one fare should carry a pas
senger to his destination.
For q case in point, take the one that is most
likely TO come up. A man boards a Madison
ave car at Sixty-ffth-st., for instance, intend
ing to go to Columbus-ave. and SiXty-ffth-st.
The wide stretch of Central Park lies between
and he cannot go directly across town. He re-
a
son-ave which will carry him to the crossing Of
the Columbus-ave line There he is entitled to
a north bound transfer according to the decision
The same rule would apply TO a passenger who
wished to go around the north end Of the park.
The decision certainly substantiates this con-
clusion-''
From another source It was learned that the
matter of transfer a transfer was brought up
when the case being argued before the
Court of Appeals by Mr.. Cravath who appeared
for the New-YOrk City Railway Company. He
declared that II the contention Of the plaintiffs
allowed the company would have TO trans
fer in more than one direction. The attorneys
for the taxpayers who We're bringing the suit
agreed that this was just what their contention
included. It seems evident that any one to
whom is refused transfer on transfer can
bring suit for the $50 penalty provided by law.
That actions will continue to be taken by citi-
gems who desire to the letter and spirit of the
law enforced is made evident by letters received
by The Tribune from those who desire informa
ton as TO the best means of bringing suit.
Among the letters received yesterday one
from Joseph Tannenbaum Of No 141 Fifth-ave..
who represents twelve persons who desire to
bring suit against the street railway company
because Of transfers refused contrary TO law.
