within the last four years has been 10 per
cent year, and last year we carried l5O'OOo.oU
passengers one way"
President Orr suggested that relief might be
obtained by means of ferries. Mr.. Winter
nodded assent but declared the people did not
like pay second fare.
Did you find out last summer that the people
object to paying more than one fare? Controller
Metz asked. Mr.. Winter smiled. but made no
reply. ce-Presdent Bryan OF the INTERIOR
ough system was asked his views concerning a
second story loop to connect The bridges with
the elevated system for ten years. He replied
that the company would require a twenty-five
year lease, and in addition he said that the
Rapid Transit Commission had blocked relief or
the congestion at the present time by stopping
the building Of the third tracks on the Second
and Third avenue roads TO The Bronx
Commissioner Smith introduced resolution
requesting the chief engineer to submit a re-
port as to the feasibility of constructing the
new Manhattan approach to the bridge so that
subway could be on It, Both Mr.. Win
ter and Mr.. Bryan declared there were physical
objections TO the proposition. President Orr
intimated that the question of the Delaney
street loop would be settled by January l.
