i R. T. OVERCROWDED BECAUSE OF INCOMPLETE PARTS, SAYS COMPANY Because of Reduced Fare and Quicker Transit, Corporation Declares, "People Rush in Large Numbers to Incompleted Railroad, Severely! Taxing Its Facilities, When It Is Asked to Do What It Never Was Intended to Do." The Brooklyn Rapid Transit System. in a folder just issued. declares its cars and trains are overcrowded because of the attempt to make an incomplete rapid transit system do a large part of the work of a completed system.

adding: "It must also be obvions that where. by reason of the attraction of reduced fare and quicker transit, people rush in large numbers to all incompleted railroad. the facilities of that incompleted railroad mist be severely taxed when it is asked to do what an incompleted railroad never was intended to do. "In illustration of this, consider the principal interchange points for tating traffic betwen different sections of our territory for single fare. There are seven of such principal interchange points.

but only two of them are now aseable, and these two are doing the work of seven. Consequently the situaion at these principal points of congestion-namelr. the intersection of Broadway and Myrtle avenue in Brook n. and the Canal street station in Manhattan. is indescribably bad.

and likely to become worse. "All of our rapid transit traffic from Brooklyn which seeks to enjoy the new acilities in the Broadway -Manhattan ubway must pour through this narrow hroat of the transportation bottle at anal street.
