BRONY TRANSIT DEMANDS
Congressman GOuIden Tells What
the Taxpayers Want.

The Council Chamber in the City Hall pre-
sented a busy appearance on Thursday. when
all the civic and taxpayers associations in
the borough Of The Bronx were on hand, sew
eral hundred strong, TO demand an immediate
Improvement in the transit conditions in the
section of the city lying north Of the Harlem
River Congressman Joseph A Goulden, of The
Bronx. said before the meeting:
We shall insist on the building OF the three
main extensions known as the Westchester
avenue. the White Plains and the Jerome ave
nue. lines as we'll the connecting INK Win
the subway between Westchester and Third
avenues. at 161st street.
we shall also ask for the third tracking Of
the Second and Third avenue elevated roads
and for the removal Of the island stations on
the Third avenue line TO give relief To the
central part of the borough which is the most
r,or41loI1s part. We shall insist upon those lines
being built as necessary for the convenience or
the peopIe, as well a for the development OF
the more outlying districts along the three
routes.
.eThe total length Of the lines to be built VIII
be fifteen miles, and the cost is placed at S11-
100000. We are going 10 favor now the begin
ming Of the Lexington avenue line al once ana
that II be built as soon as the bonded indebted
ness Of the city viii permit. We shall urge that
the three main extensions be built as eXten-
sions of the present subway and elevated sys-
TENS.
..-bere will be considerable opposition TO
granting the third tracking Of the Second and
Third avenue lines. unless the Interborough Will
agree to the building of the extensions named.
while the granting of the third track viii not be
made q condition Of building extensions. 1t VIII
be strenuously insisted upon that the extensions
he made iDasmuch the Interborough badly
needs the third tracks. The Bronx, with It's
nonuIation approxinating four hundred thou
sand. is thoroughly in earnest now, and no dis
cordant notes will be heard on this subject
The chairman of the Civic League drew the
attention of the meeting TO the neglect or the
southern section Of the borough-that is that
district which lies below 149th street, from the
Harlem 10 the East River.
This is the most densely populated section
Of the borough One Hundred and Thirty eighth

most solidiy built up with five and six story
fats and stores. The area from l45th street

ON a conservative estimate, at least one-hfth or
the population Of The Bronx-a small city III
itself Within this area are many churches,
schools. firehouses and -department stores ana
factories, besides the freight terminals Of three
railroads Yet the facilities for reaching Man
haitian Island are little if any, better than they
were twenty years ago." Mr.. Goulden SAID.
What this section needs is a continuous five
cent fare

A REINDEER HINT.

gan 10 fall It was on our way back, late In
the afternoon, that came upon q herd OF
six or seven deer; but my telescope had become
blurred with the rain. and IN the dull light It
was impossible to tell what sort Of beasts they
were, so we started in pursuit The stalk was
absurdIy easy for the deer had moved down
into a gully and there was nothing to do but
TO walk up them. When reached the
gully they had fled out OF sight, but we soon
spied them again. so I left DIartinus behind and
crawled forward to a big stone within 1JO yards
of the deer In the bad light and against the
gray stone background I could not make out
