URGING DIRECT
SUBWAY ROUTE
Staten Island Subway Com
mittee Wants Line Direct to
Manhattan, Not Brooklyn
BIZ special Correspondeat.

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, March 27:-The
Staten Island Subway Committee
through its subcommittee on the CO.
operation of other boroughs has is
sued a booklet setting forth the rea-
sons for urging a direct route be-
tween the borough of Richmond n
Manhattan, rather han by way Of
Fourth avenue subway in Brooklyn.
The booklet has maps showing two
routes acceptable to Staten Islanders
and to the support of which the conf
nlittee has committed itself without
reservation.
The first. or Route A." contem-
plates a fivc-section subway from a
point in Manhattan on the North riv-
er above Battery Park to Ellis Island,
to Robbins Reef, under Kill Won Kull
to st. George, to Tompkinsville, and
an elevated or private way surface
line to Tottenville.
Route b" calls for a five section
tube line from the same point IN
Manhattan to Ellis Island, to the Jer-
sey City bulkhead line at a point just
below C~ommunipaw. with an elevated
line along the Jersey shore to Consta-
BILE Hook, a subway under the Kill
Won kull to Richmond Terrace n
Stuyvesant Place, continuing under-
ground to TOmpkinSYille n then by
surface or elevated tracks to Totem
vile. Fol these routes the commit
tee argues that they would tend to
stabilize the business centre of the
city by co~unteracting the drift of tho
centre of population to the north and
east and that would relieve the traffic
situation caused by the present all
one way travel morning and evening
on the present subways.
1t is pointed out that a direct
Staten Island subway would tend to
check the shifting Of hotel, theatre
and shopping district to the north
ward.
Against the plan for n tube under
the narrows to be operated as a shut
tle extension of the Fourth avenue
subway. it is commended it would
mean a longer trip in time than that
by the present ferry, involve transfers
a. stations already congested. espe-
cially at Canal street. hinder the peo-
pie of Brooklyn from getting fair use
of their present subways and increase
difficulties of operation between Full
ton and Wifloughby streets and final
ly, that IL would fall far short of
making possible the best development
Of Staten Island for homes and fac
tory sites.

STEALING AUTOS
FOR JOY-R|D|hG
Soldiers Are Blamed for TheftS
of Cars Here Most All Are
Recovered

An epidemic of automobile thievery
has been prominent in this city and
vicinity during the last few weeks.
Local police headquarters have re-
ceived innumerable calls from various
police authorities concerning h theft
of cars and oft times the cars have
been found in this city. Numerous
cars have been stolen or appropriated
for a short time from persons here,
out in most instances the vehicles
have been recovered.
A peculiar factor enters into the
stealing of the cars in and near this
city. Most of those stolen are of one
make, thus indicating that the thieves
are we'll acquainted with a certain
type of IA and are careful in the
choice of the ones they desire. The
majority of cars stolen here are
Dodge cars, and this may be laid to
the fact that soldiers n civilians
employed in the government plants
near Perth Amboy are familiar only
almost exclusively by the govern
ment. The ease with which the cars
disappear is also suitably explained.
the men have keys for the govern
ment's autos, which will also fit the
cars of private owners, so it is a SIM
pie matter to jump in any car and
take a joy ride. A point which makes
this theory sound well is hat several
car have been found abandoned near
the camps, nus showing that the men
got as nea home as possible without
being detected.
A. Kosehe of 90 Madison avenue re-
ported to headquarters Tuesday night
that his car was missing again. this
being about the third time that his
auto has been stolen. Once before it
was found abandoned On one of the
streets in the northern part of the city.
1t has not been found as yet by the
police.

Teachers Ask Amendment
To The PierSOn Measure
NoW In State Legislature

the present free pension, and hat the
present system is to be fundamentally
changed in that teachers are to as
sumo half the expense, gives US the
right to ask that the present oppor-
tunity of retirement after t~hirty-1ve
years of service be continued. The
abrupt change il requiring teachers
to contribute should not be accompa-
MED by an equally abrupt and an un-
necessary change in the qualifications
for retirement. Teachers now in serv-
ice have been planning to retire after
thirty-fve years. The privilege OF
such a retirement has been held out
to them by the present law, and In
many cases superintendent ana
boards of education have actually Of
fered it as an inducement to come TO
New Jersey or to take up teaching.
These teachers are called upon 70
face startling changes in the rates of
salary deductions, amounting in some
cases to as much as seven per cent. OF
salary. Since all this must come from
the scant margin of a teachers saw
ings much hardship is inevitable. Is

Sir
4 great many teachers are in favor
of the Pierson pension bill, but ask
for one amendment, viz: that present
teachers should be permitted the OPP
ton of retirement after t~hirty-hve
years of service. As the bill now
stands no one may retire until over
sixty-two years of age, except in case
of disability.
Although the proposed act involves
the acceptance by the teachers of
very high rates OF contribution, we
realize that any well-planned retire.
ment system in order to be financial
ly sound must be expensive. and most
teachers prefer to carry their share
of the load. 1t is felt that a system

teachers and the state affords a e
