PRAISES TRANSFER LEGISLATION

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The session Of the legislature which
has Just closed will 20 down as one OF
great Importance 70 the people Of New York
City. The passage OF the Stilwell-Goldherg
bill means the restoration Of the street
railway transfers at many intersectins
points of New York
1t is true that the railway companies
fought the order OF the Public Service Com
mission and threw the matter into the
courts. where ~ was a question Of delaying
the enactment by appeals, but now that the
final passage Of the transfer measure is
about 10 be consummated by the signature
Of the Governor. they will be forced to do
something that will be of great betterment
10 Them
IT is nv opinion that, now that the trans
fers gre 70 be restored. the financial con
dition OF the street railways will become
stronger and stronger, until their flourish
ing condition Of recent years will be again
brought about
The legislators are 10 be heartily CON
graduated for enactinz measure that Is Of
such direct benefit TO the great masses OF
people residing in Manhattan. II has long
been q question Of hardship on thousands
Of persons. who were forced 70 pay from
two to three fares in travelling in one di-
rection, and II has served 70 stir UP a
feeling Of animosity toward the street rail
ways. which was reflected in the lack Of
patronage. In the passage Of the SulWell-
Goldberg bill the legislators are 10 be COLI
graduated The people will get the long.
will be decidedly benefited by increased
patronage.
special need Of praise might we'll be
given to Assemblymsn Goldberg. with
whom the bill originated. Without single
question Of doubt II might be said here
that without his initiative and energy the
bill would never have become a law.
