 The business men of Ensley and the cit izens of Wylam and Fairfield oppose the transfer system on the Vivian and fair-
 field lines. They state that at the present time if anyone who is on the Wylam car
 wishes to go to Fairfield, he will have
 to make the connection at Thirty-fourth
 street, if he uses the transfer, and he
 is not able to go to Ensley. The same is true of anyone coming from Fairfield.
 The citizens claim they either have to make connection there or lose the rights
 of the transfers. They also state that
 there is no place for them to go in case
