FOG DID IT'S BEST
Tied Up Ferries and IL and
Held Liners 11cay.

The fourth day of the thickcst and
most tenacious fog that has visited this
port in many years gave traffic on land
and sea its worst jolt yesterday.
Trimmed out vapor took on renewed vigor
shortly after midnight on Wednesday and
gradually became so dense that at day
light when the city began to waken traf-
fic was IN bad way. Trolley cars moved
slowly and T. trains had TO travel with
caution at safe intervals, for it was i'm
possible for motornlen to see the block
lights more than a cars length
The subway was active. however. TIE
overflow from the other lines caused some
congestion but the trains filed quickly
and We're delayed only trifle more than
is customary during the rush hours. The
bridges took more than their normal
share OF the morning foot traffic. and ac-
cording 20 the police at least ten thou
sand more persons walked TO and from
Manhattan than in clear weather.
The ferry traffic in the rivers was prac-
tically at a standstiil from go a. to
$50 a. m. Occasionally boat Elided out
of its slip and made tardy landing ON
the other side. but had it not beer <pT

some twenty-five in all. which are laid
out on the map. but not put through
As under an existing law the city must
stand half the expense of eliminating all
grade crossings. it became question as
to whether it would be fair to the city TO
force it to pay the extra cost of bridges
across a six-track right of way instead %
tVo-traCk road
Some weeks ago President Mitchell had
resolution passed in the Board of Estimate
providing that the Long Island Railroad
should not be allowed 10 finish its i'm
provemcnt until some stipulation had been
made as to what share of the burden OF
eliminating grade crossings should be
borne By the city
President Mitchell proposed yesterday
that before the city should agree TO pay
anv part OF tho money in question the
Long Island Railroad should stipulate that
for all bridges put through in the open
ing of streets in the future the city should
nav ONLY half of what it would have cost
road as now. rather than six-track road.
