lines. He said the whole matter might
have been prevented If a logical settle
ment had been made earlier, and he
admitted that in some cases 8 double
or triple fare would have to be charged.
The Commissioner added: Il shall do
everything in my power to work out
transfer arrangements between the
various companies. Hearings will COM
ME Ice immediately"
Corporation Counsel Burr declared
that the Public Service Commission
must check an increase in fares.
"lf it does not establish joint rates
and through routes," he said, az Will
be my duty to bring mandamus pro-
ceediiings against it to compel such ac
ton"
The formal order returning the roads
and an agreement on power and main
tenance bills and other funds expended
on the lines while in possession of the
Brooklyn Heights Company will be pre-
sented to Judge Mayer for approval on
Thursday morning.
Francis S. Bangs. of Guthrie, Bangs
Van Sinderen, represented the Brook
lyn City company ct the hearing He
announced that the owners were ready
to resume operation of the lines and
that II. Hobart Porter an engineer, of
the firm of Sanderson & Porter. has
been retained as general manager Of
the lines.
In addition to Mr. Bangs and Mr.
Owens the hearing was attended by

Tells of Stockholders
Mr.. Bangs declared before Judge
Mayer that more than onehalf the
stockholders of the Brooklyn City Rail
road Company were women. Of the
] ,472 stockholders 742 are women and
1877 are estates. Two-thirds of the
stock is owned by women, estates, life
insurance companies, charitable and ed
ucational institutions, he said.
Judge Mayer said he had inquired
into the percentage of stock owned by
letters from women who told of their
distress because of the receivers in
ability to pay interest or dividends
on their securities.
There is no doubt at all that these
various railroad securities are very
considerably held by people who are
in no way connected with speculative
purposes or, enterprises" said Judge
Mayer, "but who hold them as invest
ments, people who are dependent on
them for living income, especially at
this time when there has been such a
tremendous increase in the cost of liv-
ing, and especially women, widows and
children dependent upon these in
comes and having no other means Of
income or of livelihood.
Judge Mayer agreed with Mr.. Bangs

there was no alternative but to return
the lines.
"Thc rent cannot be paid" tho
Judge said, "and 1t is a matter of COM
mon fairness that when a tenant fails
to pay the rent the landlord shall get
back his property.
Judge NIayer's Remarks
Referring to operation Of the prop
erty, Judge Mayer said:
"The practical result at once IL this
road goes back is that this large popu-
lat1on, which needs these methods Of
transportation. instead Of having an
orderly and logical rate of fare. will
be compelled to pay larger rate than
sound disposition Of the problem
would probably warrant; but, as this
court has frequently said,( the counsel
who have been here In an 'endeavor to
solve this very grave problem, and the
court have been unable to do more
than deal with each question as 1t ls
presented. and thus far the court has,
with the exception Of one public Off
cial, received no assistance whatever
in solving the problem, which Is much
more the concern Of the people of the
City of New York than it is of any
counsel here present, or of the court
itself except from the courts very
natural desire to render whatever SER
vice it can to solution of this very
grave situation.
"The result is that an illogical and
an unequal speaking from the public
standpo oint-disintegration is going on.
all OF which could readily be stopped
by an earnest and serious approach to
the problem"
An example of the problems con-
fronting the Public Service Commits
sion in the adjustment of the various
franchises and fares is in the line run
ming to Fatlands from Borough Hall,
where only surface cars act "a feeders
to the section. The Brooklyn City
Company's franchise from the old City
Of Brooklyn permits it to charge five
cents for q ride within Brooklyn city
limits; its franchises from Flatbush
permit it to charge another live-cent
its franchise from Flatbush permits
another five cents within the limits
of Flatands.
Problem of Bridge Traffic
1t was pointed out at the Offices Of
the Brooklyn City Company, ID Court
Street. that the confusion Of lines and
contracts would require hours of work
just to determine where ono lines con-
tract ends and another begins. On
some comparatively short hauls two
and three interlocking and contiguous
companies were shown.
Another question will be the opera
ton OF cars over the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Brooklyn Heights Company was
the only one possessing the franchise
for operating cars over the bridge.
1t was said that the return of the
properties may mean curtaiment Of
surface car traffic over the bridge.
The following surface lines will be
operated as Independent companies
with separate fares:
Avenue c, Bushwick Avenue, Calvary
Cemetery. Court Street, Crosstown. Cy-
press Hills, Flatbush Avenue, Flushing
Avenue, Flushing Knickerbocke Flush
ing Ridgewood, Fulton Street, Gates
Avenue, Graham Avenue, Grand Street.
