Bridge Commissioner Refers
Contract Question to
Higher Authority.
DENIALS MADE BY ROADS

Bridge Commissioner +. J. II kracke
referred the negotiations between him
and the railway companies operating
ears over the Williamsburg Bridge to
the Board OF Estimate yesterday. He
did this because the controversy has
reached such a stage that he wants the
advice OF the board before going ahead
with his EFFORT TO make the companies
pay over TO the city a greater part OF
their profits under the terms of a new
contract which is TO be made.
The Commissioner. who notified the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Man
haitian companies involved that the
bridge contract will expire on August 81.
Informed them long 8 that he be-
lieved the new contract should result In
a greater compensation FOR the city.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit and other
companies gave out statements yester-
day IN which IL was said they had not
threatened TO take OF all cars from the
bridge but the Commissioner had or
dered them to do so. Mr.. kracke said
yesterday
81 consider the statement OF the COM
panies that they Will cease the operation
Of through service II better terms are
asked on the local line as al audacious
affront to the city and ] think this Is in
Z "" N "a N~
good faith which should exist between a
public service corporation and It's
patrons"
In referring the disputed negotiations
TO the Board OF Estimate yesterday the
Commissioner suggested that he should
Issue permits TO the railway companies
for six months under the same terms
as their present contract merely as a
truce in the fight. He said:
II have taken the position that 1t
was unquestionably my duty to en-
deavor 10 secure for the city part!c!pa-
ton In the eXorhltant profits of this
road. The transit corporations have
shown that their implied contract Is In
their eyes a matter Of negligible conse-
auence compared to the possibility OF
further profits and higher dividends"
COMMISSIONS kracke has pointed out
that the Bridge Operating Company has
made a profit OF more than a 100 per
cent. in operating cars over the bridge.
