RAIL KILLS SLEEP;
FIX IT, SAYS P. S. C.
Hayward Upholds Com
plants of Irate Guests
at Two Hotels.

The Public Service Commission has
received complaints from the proprie.
tor and guests Of Breton Hall and OF
Euclid Hall OF unbearable noise caused
by the pounding Of cars over broken
rail on the Broadway branch OF the
Third Avenue Railroad between Eigh-
ty-ffth and Eighty-sixth streets, di-
rectly in front OF those properties.
Commissioner Hayward, not believing
that such a condition as complained
of could exist, made personal in
spection and found it as bad as repre-
sented. Last night he wrote a letter
TO Edward A. Maher, general manager
Of the company, in which he said In
part:
at seemed almost incredible that a
condition such as described could have
been allowed to exist, and | went up
there last night to find out about It
and stopped and looked and listened.
"A section of six or eight inches IN
length is broken out Of the rail. The
four wheels Of the cars as they sue
cessively smash into the track make
very loud clanking noise. besides
shaking up the passengers and causing
vibration in adjacent buildings.
zone Of the compliments stated 70
me that the break had been there Tor
two or three months, which statement
appeared to be true.
mo decent, self-respecting citizen IN
any community would use his private
property needlessly to the annoyance,
the disturbance and the harassment OF
his neighbors and fellow townspeople,
to say nothing Of the injury to the
property itself. There may be econ
omy in bouncing heavy cars week IN
and week out for months over track
with a section broken out of it, but it
is a practice which will not he toler-
ated in this town il | can help 1t and

stance you find it unnecessary to use
any of the time honored excuses for
evading or delaying repairs, such as
new parts have been ordered for these
repairs and will be installed as soon
as received or as soon as the frost
