Bridge Commissioner Best has been more pleased
than surprised by the rush of people use the new
williamsburg Bridge. since the cars of the Brook

on it, He is doing all he can he says to increase
the facilities which already are insufficient for the
crowds at the rush hours.

particularly. thousands of people create a jam at
the Manhattan end of the bridge, pack all the cars
going to Brooklyn, push, scramble and fight for
places on the cars and create a congestion for
which there is no apparent relief
Strangely enough, the crowds at the Manhattan
terminal of the Brooklyn Bridge are not !essened
by the rush TO the Williamsburg Bridge at those
hours and the natural question is Where do all
the people come from? The answer is found in
the loss OF traffic by the ferry lines that converge
az Broadway Brooklyn. Just as the lam at the
BROOKLYN Bridge was created by diveTtlng travel
from the ferries, the jam at the Williamsburg
Bridge is taking patronage from the ferries and for
exactly the same reason. BY riding across the
bridge on through lines OF cars the people save
the ferry charges.

and eonduits on the north side of the Williamsburg
Bridge ready for use by the beginning of January
