TRAIN SERVICE WILL Be
CURTAILED THIS WINTER
Civic Bodies Informed by s. j. r. I
r. r.. of Plan to Cut Down
Number of Trains Again

By Special Correspondent.
ToTTENvILLE, Aug. 22:-The
Civic League and the Chamber Of
Commerce. the two civic bodies on
lthe island, have been notified by the
Staten Island Rapid Transit of a cur
that in effect last winter. The COM
pany now has its experts at work
doping out the new 191S-191e
schedule. A letter sent to h two
civic bodies by the general TRAFFIC
agent reads as follows:
After careful consideration of ma
tional conditions and argument be-
fore the Public Service Commission
this company operated a reduced
number of trains during the winter
of 1e17-191s.
while the aggregate number OF
trips of all lines on the North and
East shores was thereby reduced the
service was in the main adequate to
traffic requirements.
"The conditions prompting the
curtailment of service last year are
more aggravated now and q similar
curtailment of service on the time
table for the coming winter Is con-
templated.
The company desires to proceed
openly in the matter and is therefore
giving this early advice to your or
CARNATIONS"
Last winter when the change In
trains went into effect and a plumber
of trains were dropped the two civic
organizations were mo- notified and
the civic league took the matter be-
fore the Public Service Commission,
submitting thirteen reasons why or
ders should be issued by the commits
sion making the Staten Island Rapid
Transit restore the trains.
The company this year, with a view
to avoiding last years trouble and to
give the two civic bodies ample time
to discuss the matter, has notified
them some weeks In advance OF the
cut In train service.
