FLATLANDS MAKES
APPEAL TO NIXON
Fifteen Cent Fare From Park
Row to Bergen Beach
Is Fought.

The Brooklyn City Railroad Company
reported yesterday that H'many improve
ments' were made in. the independent
operation of its car lines. Rush hour
traffic was handled without any unusual
delay" Nevertheless, residents of out
lying districts. notably Flatlands and
Coney Island. are calling meetings to
protest against tn. increased fares.
A committee representing the Flat
lands Property Owners Association Wis
tied Public Service Commissioner Nixon
yesterday afternoon requesting that he
take action to prevent the railroads from
exacting a 10 cent fare for q ride from
Park Row to Bergen Beach.
The Commissioner declared he would
hold public hearing at which all in
terested-the public, the traction COM
panies and the Corporation Counsel
could appear.
Residents of Flatlands, a new and
growing section. contend that property
values there have decreased 25 per
cent as result of the burdneeome
transit conditions. There will be mass
meeting at Public School 119 on Friday
night in protest against the ''discrimina-
ton" Commissioner Nixon, B. r. T.
officials and members of Mayor Hylan's
Vigilance Committee have been invited
to give their views. Flatlanders say
of the city to increase the assessed
valuation of their properties for taxation
purposes.
Three taxpayers associations are
meeting this week at Coney Island to
consider the transit situation.
The Brooklyn City Railroad Com
pany's statement yesterday declared
that "a check on traffic conditions is
being made with view to improving
the service, due to the readjustment and
complications entailed by the rerouting."
Additional service has been provided
on the elevated and subway lines to
accommodate the increased traffic, which
has been estimated at more than $4,000
extra passengers a day. The headways
between trains has been reduced to
facilitate matters.
Hundreds are still walking. Accord
ing to Grover Whalen, Commissioner of
Plants and Structures, city buses will
be running through Brooklyn within
two days. At the start there will be 400
buses and the fare will be i've cents.

Congress Sends Bills on Sub

Special Despatch to The Sun

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Constitutiona
objections stand in the way of any leg
islation establishing free ports for for
eign trade in the United States, Repre-
sentative Fordney (Mich.), chairman of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee, announced to-day. AS a result nu-
nerous bills framed to provide for free
ports or free zones in ports along the
coasts of the United States, have been
thrown into the waste basket although
hearings have already been held on one
measure by Representative Nolan (Cal.) },
which would have allowed the Secre-
tary of Commerce to designate free
zones,
The only chance for such legislation
now. Mr. Fordney said. is to make all
ports free.
The committee, he said. had its at
tention directed to Section of the
Constitution. which provides that mo
preference shall be given by any regu-
,ation of commerce or revenue to the
ports of one State over thos of another ;
nor shall vessels bound to or from one
State be obliged 20 enter. clear or pay

cotton. edible oils, meat, condensed coal

has the wheat necessary for the sus-
tenance OF the population.
According to Bernardo Attolico, who
represents Italy on the Supreme Eco
nomic Council In Paris, Italy will need
100000 tons of wheat, most of which
she would like to buy in the United
States and Canada. Two-thirds of the
entire cereal requirement will be bought
in the United States. he said. and the
rest In Argentina, though arrangements
there are not as satisfactory as they
were before the war
