SUBWAY LOOP UNSAFE.
Danger to Life on So Steep Grade,
SAYS Winter.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company still has
absolute faith in the proposed Baxter-st elevated
bridge loop and hopes that this plan of relieving
the present congestion will be taken u2. President
Winter said last night:
have been submitted to us. and are of the opinion
that the Baxter-st elevated bridge loop is the only
way out of the dlf1cuity. The other plans would be
only palliative for while, and in a few years the
now.
One Of the axions of transit is Keep moving
and that is Of the chief features Of the bridge
loop. The widening OF Baxter-st- would enhance
the value Of property the East Side and add
considerably to the sanitary conditions 1t Is true

by that divert fair percentage or the traIic
coming from the north. 1T Is maintained Dy the
congestion comes from the city south OF Park Row.
TO satisfy ourselves on this point the company
made observations. and by careful records found
in day that 7S42 persons came to the bridge
1875, 100 persons went by the elevated trains.
and rs 63s approached the bridge from the north 1t
could be taken board the trains at the various
stations along the loop, thereby diverttns almost
81 per cent of the number that now collect at the
bridge
The fundamental objection to the subway loop is
the great risk to human life in manipulating trains
