CITY NOTES

There seemed to be general misunder-
standing yesterday, both on the part OF
conductors and passengers In regard 10
transfers on the Rocky Point cars.
Although the company had previously
given orders allowing transfers TO be
given and taken on the cars In question.
this rule was later modified. Several con-
ductors and nearly all passengers were
not aware OF the changing OF the rule and
this was the cause OF the misunderstand-
ing. The conductors have now all been
instructed in the matter, and further trou-
BILE will be avoided.
