CARS FOR NEW BRIDGE.
Best Suggests Scheme to the B. r. Il.
and the I. s. r.
TO ANNOUNCE PLAN IN A WEEK

Bridge Commissioner Best said yesterday that
he had sent letters to both President vreeland
of the Interurban Street Railway Company and
President Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company regarding plan he has for run
ming cars over the Williamsburg Bridge. With
in n week" he said. II expect to be able TO an
nounce an arrangement by which will be
across the new bridge. Even II there can
he only a temporary arrangement. We must
have cars the bridge soon possible to
make the bridge useful II will he May before
can begin to remove the buildings in Delan-
cey-st at the Manhattan terminal but in the
mean time ought to have cars crossing the
bridge and connecting with the Interurban and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit systems"
Mr. Best said that within two weeks he
pected 10 announce plans for further relieving
the Brooklyn Bridge crush He said he had not
been consulted about the plan formed by Bor-
ough President Littieton Of Brooklyn for ele-
waited structures to connect the Brooklyn Bridge
with the Williamsburg Bridge. Mr.. Littleton
went over the ground on Saturday In company
with his Commissioner Of Public Works, Mt
Breckenridge and they selected tentative
route for the elevated structures In Brooklyn
and Manhattan. Mr.. Littleton VIII present his
plan TO the Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
ment ut an early dav.
From the Brooklyn terminal OF the Brooklyn
Bridge the plarn calls for an elevated structure
through Washington. Fulton and Willoughby
SITS. To Fort Greene Park. then under the park
by tunnel and continuing by elevated structure
In Willoughby. Throop and Union aves- and
South Fifth-st. to the Brooklyn end Of the Will
iamshurg Bridge. The Manhattan ends OF the
two bridges. according 10 the plan. would be
connected bv an elevated structure through
Delaney and Centre SITS. Thus the two connect
Ing lines and the bridges would form complete
belt line. with cars running I'm both directions.
The elevated connections would cost immense
sums. both FOR actual construction and for dam
age to property along the routes Controller
Grout has been IN favor Of tunnels. A proposal
20 connect the bridges by line through Centre
and Delaney SITS. In Manhattan was opposed
vigorously many months ago.

INJUSTICE IN THE HOME.
Professor Zueblin, of Chicago University,
Kaps the Tariff.

"Justlce" was the subject OF an address by
Charles Zuebln associate professor Of sociology OF
Chicago University. last evening before the Peo-
pies Institute at Cooper Union lie said in part:
There is a general idea that a crude sort OF
Justice is done people in the long run. But IL

IS necessary: IL is applied the plane OF rank
