Mayor Edward +. Brush, of Mount Vernon. who
IS trying TO organize public utility company to
fight the ice trust, has also begun a crusade
against the Union Railway Company TO compel
that corporation to give better streetcar service
The Mayor has issued a letter inviting all OF the
other mayors and village presidents of Westchester
County 20 meet at his Office next Monday evening
at o'clock to discuss remedy for the present
conditions and TO decide on a proper way to get a.
the corporation.
Mayor Brush states in his letter that conditions
in Mount Vernon and its vicinity have become in
toIerable. and that the public is herded and crowded
into in q manner that is not only disgracefuI
but dangerous TO life and limb 1t Is said that Mayor
Brush IS in favor OF going carefully into the
charter and franchises OF the company and as a
first step compelling the officers Of the corporation
to live up TO IL in every instance. Mayor Brush
also believes that many Of the cars now in use
