Sir: The interesting picture OF St Johns ChapA
and the old St Johns Church printed in Ihs

institutions The restoration OF the old St John

would obviously accomplish more objects than

Counsel for the Third Avenue Railroad Com

argued before the Public Service Commission
on Saturday that transfers between that road

only a short time ago the Third avenue receiver
offered to enter into a transfer agreement with
the crosstown line. Is 1t any wonder that the
