BOARDS
AUTHORITY DENIED.
Staten Island Transit Companies
Hold that State Commissioners
May Only Make Suggestions.

1t is said TO be certain that the
Richmond Light and Railroad Com
pany, the Midland Railroad and the
Staten Island Rapid Transit Com
pany will test in the courts the au-
thority OF the Board of State Railroad
Commissioners to issue an order as to
the running of late trains. The Board
Of Directors of the two trolley com
panies, of which Fl. H. Rogers is
president, has not met to take action
on the order. The Staten Island
Rapid Transit Company has ignored
the commissions order and has not
had trains meet the two late boats
from Manhattan.
The refusal of these companies TO
comply with the order will be taken
up with the commissioners by the
Staten Island Association, the Staten
Island Board of Trade and Transport
tation and persons who travel on the
boats and who appeared before the
railroad commission a few weeks ago
and asked that these companies be
compelled to operate cars in connec-
ton with the late boats.
Most of these people are employed
at night in Manhattan and cannot get
earlier boats. Heretofore they re-
manned in Manhattan until morning
because of the poor transportation
facilities, but when it was learned
that the companies would be ordered
TO operate late cars those who had
in Manhattan gave them UP
and arranged to catch the late boats
to st. George, where they were led TO
believe cars would be in waiting TO
convey them to their homes.
sunday morning, when the order
was to have gone into effect, more
than two hundred came down on the
half-past two O'Clock boat, but there
were no trains or cars. Many had to
wait in the ferry house until the first
train and trolley left at five o'clock.
The companies declare that the
commission cannot compel them to
operate cars all night, but can mere
~ make a suggestion that such a
service would be of great convenience
10 the travelling public. The refusal
of The companies must then be taken
up with the attorney general, who
win seek to annul the charters of the
companies.
Any legal step taken by the state
will. of course, be contested by the
companies, and it promises to be a
Iong drawn out fight, with the travel
ing public, as usual, the sufferers.

ger offer as an excuse, when brought

He entered the ranks of the Confed-

A Good Cabbage Story.

crops of cabbage from one planting
When the first head is ripe, | slightly
cut on two sides under the head
and then break off. In due time two
plants will come out just below the
cutting and these will mature two
heads. Treating these when ripe, as

sprouts and by Jan. 1 | have four
small heads. In this way i'm this eli
mate one can raise a ton of cabbage
in one year from two rows each 80
feet long.
1t is a twelve-mOnth proposition i'm

like in this country is that one can
work 800 days in a year, hence no
time to sultivate the social ties as you
can do in a cold climate. Still one can
draft time to do this if he will
