1t is doubtful whether there is any

original charter, which was valid at the
time when the Coney Island branch of
its system was a steam car line, the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company had
the right to charge q ten cent fare be-
tween the bridge and Coney Island.
Since then the road introduced electric
power and other improvements, but
continued to charge double fare. The
passengers We're taken on their trip to

fare. When the courts recently decided
that the metropolitan company was
compelled to issue transfers from any
one of it's lines to any other line of it's
system, the patrons of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit believed that the deci-
sion also applied to the Brooklyn rail-
road. They refused to pay double fare
and demanded transfers, which were
emphatically refused.

Gotham Letter


NEW YORK. July 16.-There is
every probability that the Gen. Slocum
disaster will cause a general shaking
up in the New York office of the gov
eminent steamboat inspector. When
Secretary Cortelyou issued the order
that reinspection of all pleasure
steamers in this district was to be
made, it was not taken seriously by the
local officials and they We're in no
hurry to comply with the order. 1t
seems, however, that the government
did not intend that order for a mere
joke or hoax, but intended to insist
upon compliance with it. When the
head of the department of labor and
New York office paid no attention to
the order and tried to avoid the task,
he quietly instructed a number of in
spectors in other districts, and, quietly
they came to New York and. without
warning, descended upon some of the
large pleasure steamers and made
thorough inspection. The result of the
investigation was quite satisfactory in
a general way, although many defective
life preservers inefficient fire hoses, etc
We're found and, in some cases, an alb
sence of precautions against fire.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-07-16

1t is generally believed that, if the
inspection had been made two weeks
ago, the result would not have been
quite so satisfactory. In the mean
time the owners of steamers in this

sible and never before were so many
orders for life preservers given in New
York during a period Of two or three

quent assertions of the mayor, that

cept the very wealthy. The result
has been that several addi-
tions have been made and
are now a part of the city itself. The
last of these to be plated is the West
Side addition, which was laid out
only three years ago. Within that
short time it has grown probably more
rapidly than any other part Of town,
but not on the mushroom order, for the
most beautiful and costly residences
that the city boasts are situated there.
Those who have selected that location
in which to build homes have built
for themselves, not tor occupation by
tenantry. They are representative OF
the more progressive and well'to-do
element of the community and not a
little friendly rivalry has existed ever
since the first building was erected
as to whose home would be the more
attractive as we'll as comfortable and
modern in it's appointments. In con-
sequence "The Beautiful West Side"

tive part of the city unless he has
been escorted through ITS broad ave-
nues and intersecting streets and has
had pointed out to him the many
splendid homes reared there.

+ In recognition of the efficient SER

year, William Schneider has been re-
appointed by Mayor Foster to the Of

The appointment was made at last

To show their appreciation OF his

The council took up the matter of

city during the last year or so. Some
of the aldermen are among those who
have suffered from the fend's depreda-

they are exceeding wra!thy and want
him punished if possible.
During the discussion that ensued
it came to light that a couple OF scores
of dogs were killed Dy poison all
within a single block on the north
side in less than week. The total
number of bow-wows that have been
sent to the dog heaven during the last
three months is in excess of hun
dred and unless the poisoner is
brought to bay it is feared that before
long not a dog will remain in the city
What makes the matetr all the more

selected that part of the city as the
place of their permanent abode
The addition contains 600 lots,
many of which are already occupied,
while many more have been bought
by persons contemplating the erec-
tion of residences in the near future.

care that it should be in condition
fit to tempt the class of residents that
was desired should occupy it. The
city water service was extended into
it and hydrants placed at every cor

alleys and connected with the main
system and it's streets lighted with
electricity. Over $4,000 was expended
in street grading and the construction
of cement sidewalks, until more feet
of permanent walks existed there
than in the entire remaining part OF
the city. All the walks are six feet
