Cacchione has urged an express service on a third set of tracks. Mr. Cacchione has also been plugging for a rapid transit spur to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, but transit planners have never been very sympathetic to the idea.

Unfortunately, city transit has to compete with railroads, which had terrific wear and tear during the war and badly need materials for rehabilitation. The same problem must be faced with new subway cars. There are 400 Independent-type cars on order for the B. M.
