The CHy;s Railways
As Partner of Transit Companies 1t Is Concerned in
Their Success and the Adequacy of Their Revenues

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The following item was clipped
from The New York Tribune of
August 2:
IA straw vote taken to-day by 1882
people in my factory, as to whether the
surface cars Of New York should have
an increased fare. resulted as follows
Yes. 1902; no. 1870. None OF US own any
Of the company's stocks or bonds. but
we do believe in a square deal and no
blackmail to be paid to politicians.
"a TAXPAYER"
This shows the trend of thought and
spirit of fairness in the average citizen
that might we'll be emulated by some Of
our prominent city officials, who are now
acting as obstructionists.
Few of our citizens realize the
amount Of thought and work given by
patriotic and public-sprited citizens to
this work during the last twenty five
years, and which finally eliminated in
the signing Of the so-called dual subway
contract. Space cannot be given here to
details, but countless interviews with
transit and city officials have been held
to secure amendments to the rapid tran
sit act and the creation of the Public
Service Commission. Visits of delega-
tions Of various civic bodies to Albany to
secure such legislation as was necessary,
notably an amendment to the constitu-
ton eliminating the subway and dock
bonds from the debt limit, when such
bonds become self-supporting. All this
involved an amount of time and un-
selfish work cheerfully and freely given,
with no thought of personal gain. Suf-
flee it to say that these citizens felt
themselves doubly paid for the sacrifices
they had made when victory crowned
their efforts and the contracts were
finally signed which provided for the
building of the greatest transit system
in the history of the world.
