muters on the Tottenville division of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit are
up in arms with regard to the change

The first protest on the change is
the express scheduled to leave Tot

ing and which is down to make every
stop until it reaches Great Kills and
then is made an express into st.
George. The same thing Is done al

train is an express from that point
10 Great Kills and afterward makes
every stop to Tottenville. The train
il scheduled 10 arrive at st. George
in the morning at SOS. but 1t is said
the passengers and commuters did
not leave by boat from st. George
until $50 o'clock making them late
In arriving at Manhattan.
Many people who were unable to
get a time table yesterday and did
not know of the start of the express
seven minutes earlier than hereto
fore failed to get that train all along
the line of the Tottenvil1e division.
At New Dorp where people usually
boarded the Tottenville express they
had the pleasure of seeing it go by
Yesterday morning and had to de-
pend OF the local train which is
made up at Great Kills and makes all
stops from that place to st. George
with the exception of Clifton and
Tompkinsville. The second express
leaving Tottenville at S:02 is abou;
the same with the exception that 1t
makes a stop al Annadale and Eli
ingville and arrives at st. George
two minutes later than before.
The matter. 1t is said will be call
ed to the attention of the South
Shore Protective Association recent
ly organized.
Better time. 1t is said. was made
by express on the Staten Island Rail-
a fifty-five years ago, according
to a time table found recently in
Perth Amboy that showed the run
ming time between Tottenville and
Vanderbilt's Landing. now Clifton,
to be twenty-five minutes. The SEIZED
ule was a train leaving Tottenville
at 1890 and arriving at Vanderbilt's
Landing at 1856. This was made
without a stop. st. George is but a
short distance from Clifton and the
running time of the express accord
ing to the new time table, is forty
