TO PROBE TRANSFER CUT.
Transit Committee VAL Take Up
East Side Question.

Special investigation Of the situation resulting
from the discontnuance of transfers between the
First and second avenue lines and the Metropolitan
system is being made by the Transit Reform Com
raittee Of One Hundred. which made the complaint
on which the present hearings on the Third avenue
transfer situation are being conducted by the PNbhc
Service Commission. J. Aspinwsn Hodge, chair
r1sn Of the executive committee Of that organizs-
ton. said yesterday:
This situation appears to Us TO be on a ieVeI
with the Third avenue situation The committee
has taken up the proposition Of aooIishTneht Oh
transfers OF the Second and First avenue lines, ana
IL will receive g thorough investigation by u.s. me
proposition Of dividing the s6th street line into two
parts seems 10 infict an especial hardship on a
good percentage of the travelling public, and this Is
being looked into
There was particular disturbance yesterday as
result of the new receivershp and its consequent
adjustment Of transfers but complaints on the part
of persons travelling from the lower East side VINO
had been accustomed transferring from the First
and Second lines to Crosstown lines uptown
ere numerous. The travellers in the uptown dis
trfct through which the SSth street line runs felt
the change keeny. This line divided Into two
sections and two fares were charged for a ride
traI Park West. This caused much hardship to
working people from Astoria, who had been accus-
toned riding from the East 92d street ferry TO
the West Side and transferring there to lines up
and down town. Extra policemen were on guard
the transfer points affected BY the latest receiv-
ership yesterday but they had little TO do.

NEW BRIDGE WILL BE USED.
Commissioner McCarroll Says B. r. T. Turn
down Means Nothing Serious

Commissioner McCarrol OF the Public Service
Commission said yesterday that the action Of the
commission in turning down the application of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for exclusive
right to two tracks over the Manhattan Bridge
and elevated structure in Flatbush avenue did
not mean that the bridge would have to go without
railroad facilities On the contrary, he said that
the commission would be able TO put the bridge TO
better use II the Brooklyn Rapid Transit de-
cided it did take it the commissions
terms
Bitter criticism ot the commissions action has
arisen in Brooklyn among some Of the organiZa-
tions interested in getting kind transit IA
cities 10 Manhattan. This especially has been lev
eled Commissioner McCarroll. who wrote the
opinion which the commission acted IN the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit case concerning the OF
the Manhattan Bridge, and 1t has been said that
transit company make a better offer All this
has not affected the stand OF the commission that
II would De unwise TO grant that request.
1t is senseless to say that because the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company cannot have the use OF the
bridge and The FIatbush avenue extension in the
way il would Ike, any other company is prevented
from using the bridge the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company itself from using it. in accordance
with the views Of the commission said Nj Nc
Carroll The people OF Brooklyn can rest assured
that, If the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company does
not wish 10 use the bridge the commission will see
that II Is used to better effect in some other way
Tie commission has received q number Of letters
anu resolutions commencing Il for its stand In the
