Staten Island Case Sent to
Director General of
Railroads

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Jan. 24.-Boroush
President Calvin u. Van Name in a
letter to Walker ID. Hines, director
general of railways, is calling attcn-
ton to the conditions on the AmboN
division or the Staten Island Rapid
Transit with regard to the boat anu
train connections at st. George ana
is asking for some relief from he sit
uation. 1t was pointed out whllo the
municipal ferry was not running our
ing the recent strike, every train THAT
came 10 Tottenviilc was on time. This
was due It was found when the train
left st. GEORGE on time without having
TO wait Tor a boat.
January %, 1919.
Wilker -. Hines. Esq.
Director General of Railways,
Washington. ID. G.
Dear Sir:
The distressing conditions which
exist on the Amboy Division of the
Staten Island Railway, due to the diff
ference between the boat time table
and the train time table, are well nigh
intolerable.
There are times when three boats
arrive at st. George to the n train
leaving, with the result that the peo-
pie have to wait as long as n hour
this out in the cold as the railroad
company does not provide any waiting
room, and oftentimes when the tram
does go ii is crowded. with people
standing in each car.
This railroad is fifteen miles long
and the principal means of Transport
fation for the greater part of 10000
people, and for the last seven miles il
is the only means of travel. yet there
is not a train running between the
hours of 1870 a. III. and G n. m. in one
direction, and 1880 a. m. and 5 a. m,
in the other. SO that during this inter
val q portion of cur borough covering
approximately twenty-five square
miles is isolated. Through the penur-
ious policy of this road there is a large
part of u borough where a person
who is compelled to be out late {
night is unable to live.
From appearances, the income or
tbe o warrants many additional
trains, and, ii it were not so. it would
still be n correct business move be-
cause many people WHO are now kept
away by the poor transportation ia
cilities would become residents, our
borough being considered the most
beautiful and hoalthfUl in the Greater
City.
Indignation meetings have been
he'd II committees appointed TO wait
upon the management in the past but
without results. Now that the United
States government has control, may /
hope for a change?
the remedy is simple: A trail
should leave ST. George for Tottep
vile after the arrival OF each boat. |
and tho trains arrive ut ST. George in
time TO onnec with each boat for
Manhattan.
In view Of the importance of this
matter. may I not ask for immediate |
consideration.
Respectfully yours.
