WINTERFAVO VORSSUBW AY
Tells Mayor His Company VII Co
operate zCith City.

President Edwin W. Winter of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company yesterday gave Mayor
Mcclellan to understand that he favored sub
way loop between sthe bridges, and that his
company would cooperate with the city in
utilizing it for the relief Of congestion as soon
as it could be built. Mr. Winter expressed some
doubt with reference to obtaining a practicable
grade but if the engineers fix suitable
grade his company would be glad to do the
rest.
Part of the talk yesterday was about terms
which will be mutually satisfactory to the city
and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.
Mayor Mcclellan at requested the en-
gneers of the Bridge Department to prepare
plans for the proposed loop.
1t was reported that Mr.. Winter had insisted
on an elevated loop. and that he told the Mayor
that his company would three-track and four
track nearly the entire elevated system i'm
Brooklyn if an elevated loop were built. The
Mayor said last night that Mr.. Winter did not
discuss an elevated loop. 1t was learned that
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit people would not
use Il double deCked loop system down Third
avenue and Park Row. and the Board of Rapid
Transit Commissioners will not assent to the
use of Centre street for an elevated loop.
Senator McCarren accompanied Mr.. Winter to
the City Hall yesterday. Mr. McCarren talked
pointedly about the bridge problem.
THE Interborough and the Brooklyn Rapid
Transits have been sitting in corner like two
eats splitting and Glaring at each other" he said.
The Senator said all he wanted TO
some relief for Brooklyn.
Il don't about the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and / don't care about the Interborough' -
he said. II want to get some understanding
between them, and 1 succeeded in getting Mr..
Winter over here to tell the Mayor what his
company would do. | want the people Of Brook
lyn to get the relief they ought TO have had
years ago. I'm not interested in any particular
plan scheme. and 7 not interfering with
the engineering problem, I'm not an en-
gineer. but ! do think something should be
done
The trouble with the companies seems to he
that each is afraid the other Will get shade the
better OF any bargain which brings relief TO the
suffering public I think ought to have a
showdown and where we stand We want
to know where the companies stand We will
then he able to find out what interests
opposing us.
what ought to be done is to knock the heads
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Inter
borough together. And we ought To take the
Rapid Transit Commission and knock its heads
together"

SANITARY BAKESH0PS.
Labor Commissioner Improves Conditions
Throughout City.

p Tecunssh Sherman. State Commissioner Of
labor believes he has succeeded in wiping out the
most unsanitary conditions sthat lurked in the
eity's bakeshops. The cleaning process has how
ever, been greatly retarded by the lack Of suf-
ecient authority TO enforce demands some OF the
eommonest offences against health and deceney
being allowed TO pass for lack of laws to cover the
violations. In these the inspectors have been
compelled to have recourse 70 bluff
with the exception of few that may have es-
capped US on the lower West Side, and Of some
that may exist in the far outskirts OF the city,
do not believe you VIII find any really unclean
bakeshops in Manhattan said Mr.. Sherman yes
terday. 1.-THE cellar shops have been the most
troublesome but they can be made perfectly sani-
1ary. The smaller bakers are the ones who as a
rule have to be driven make improvements; the
big bakers willingly alter their premises 70 comply
with our demands, suggest notifications OF the
latter which they will carry out"
Persons who object to having their bread knead-
ed with other peoples feet may wish that the
Commissioner of Labor could have cleaned UP a
little more thoroughly but there is comfort in his
assurance that there is nothing unsanitary in the
practice. and that II exists IN only a few OF the
ITALIAN bakeshops anyway.

the commissioner, nor have my inspectors. When
the inspectors rst heard that II practised they

.TH ward
PROTESTS

The Fourth Ward Improvement
club has called a mass meeting at
8 o'clock tonight in Justice of the
Peace Suckers courtroom at the
courthouse.
The meeting has objects, 1 a
protest against allowing the 0. r.
& N. grade crossing on Monroe
st. and the other demand that the
Monroe st. bridge, promised when
the bond issue was voted, be built.
The Fourth ward wants an under
ground crossing or none where the
railroad company desires to cross
Monroe st. between Gardner and
Mallon avs. The people are not
elated over the prospect of ware
house district being established in
the residence section, but will stand
for that If the company will put in
a safe crossing. 1t has been shown
that by lowering the railroad tracks
4 feet and raising Monroe st. 16
feet viaduct can be put in that
will insure both convenience and
safety. Raising the street will
merely lengthen the grade where it
meets the hill.
In regard to the bridge, the club
will supplement the action taken in
yesterdays meeting when strong
demand was made on the council
to carry out the plan for a new
bridge.
The old one is unsafe and the
Northsiders look with Impotence
on patch work now being done
which will not fit the bridge for
streetcar traffic.
They voted for the bonds, as did
the rest of the city, on the under
standing that good bridge would
be put in on Monroe st. The adj
ministration's present disposition
seems to be to fritter the money
away on viaducts and crossings OF
lesser Importance.

the mayor has suffered extremely
from the hardships of a parlor car
trip to Chicago on behalf OF a pub
lie suffering under the prospect of
being denied privilege Of betting on
the Interstate fair races Is not
known, but 1t is presumed the
mayors exertions that the pool
room might be preserved to at least
more harvest have worn on him
considerably.
What the public will be most
anxious to know Is the wherefore
Of the mayors emphatic declara-
ton of determination to never sac
rifice his self respect by permitting
a repeal of the ordinance. 1t should
be remembered in this connection
that this was qualified by the
statement, mot while he was
mayor"
When he was in Chicago, OF
course, Mr.. Pratt was mayor. AS
somebody once remarked, there are
numerous methods Of skinning a
