use of surface cars during rush hour

morning and night rush hours the prin-

workers from their homes to their work
or from their work to their homes. All
vehicles should be kept off the tracks
during these hours and no parking in
car streets should be permitted. The
police power should be utilized to the

226 miles of single track. There are
22 niles of track in the streets that are
not now being used. Much of the track
age is the result of the competitive de-

ough has been overbuilt with surface
car tracks.

veloped for operation by one company
The surface cars in Manhattan are now
being operated under nine separate OPP
Grating companies. Each largely routes
its lines over the tracks which it owns
or controls, whether or not such lines
serve the public most conveniently.
Under the rerouting plan the sole idea
has been to lay out lines that will serve
the public most conveniently and ade-
quately No consideration has been
given to the track ownership. Under
one ownership instead of nine this is
possible.

the operation of twenty-five lines. The
nine Manhattan companies now operate
thirty-five. On thirty of the most I'M

less than thirty-six cars per hour per

per hour was eight on one line and the
maximum was ninety eight on another
line. Some of these lines operate over
the same tracks. But when 1t is recog-
