M. T. Head. In connection with the opening of the subway, Gerhardt executive M. Dahl, chairman of the committee of the has issued a statement covering fourteen essential pointa about the new subway line.

It follows: 1. On Monday, June 30, the T. will begin operating its shuttle traing through the completed portion, or western half, of the Fourteenth street-Eastern subway line. 2. The fact that the construction work on this line was started seven years ago is but one more evidence of the lopg period of time required' to build subways in this city.

3. If work were started tomorrow on the eastern section of this line, from Montrose avenue, Brooklyn, to East New York it would take at least two and -halt years to complete a two-track rapid transit route to East New York. 4. Although the plans for the complete Fourteenth street line were provided for eleven years ago by Dual Suway Contract No. 4, the people of this city 'are still waiting for the city to let the contract for the eastern section and for the NassauBroad street line which should have been built at the same time.

5. While the present line from Sixth avenue, Manhattan, through Fourteenth street and under the East River to Brooklyn will serve a large number of merchants and pasgengers it will not materially relieve the congestion at Canal street and it will not provide any additional rapid transit facilities for the realdents of the Bushwick section and sections east of New York. 6. The B. M.

T. will do everything technically, mechanically and praotically possible to make the present line 8 model 1 rapid transit line. Everything possible will be done to provide rapid, convenient service, All cars and stations will contain detailed information about connecting lines, station names, etc. Every car will contain maps of the B. M.

T. lines and information about all intersecting and. communicating subway, elevated and surface lines. 7. One of the unique features of this line la that every stop is a convenient point to change to other lines.

8. The stations and intersecting line follow: Stations and Intersecting Lines. MANHATTAN. Sixth Tubes, Sixth avenue and surface line. Union Square -Broadway (B.

M. subway, R. T. East Side subway, Broadway, Fourth and Madison avenue surface lines. Third avenue and surface line.

First avenue "L' and Avenue surface line. BROOKLYN. Bedford Crosstown surface line. Lorimer street, Marcy avenue and Union avenue surface lines. Graham avenue and Metropolitan avenue surface lines.

Grand Grand street surface line, Montrose Bushwick avenue and Wilson avenue surface lines. 9. The B. M. T.

will provide free transfers to and from the Fourteenth street line at Union Square to the Broadway (B. M. subway. 10. The advantages to the car riders in the completion of the Fourteenta street and the Nassau-Broad street lines are that this will result in a 50 per cent increase In service for the people of Central and' South Brooklyn by making it possible for the B.

M. T. to operate thirty more trains during rush hours through tae. DeKalb avenue station. 11.

It is estimated that the construction cost to complete the. Fourteenth Street Line to East New York and to build the Nassau-Broad street connection will be approximately $28,500,000. but it will be considerably more than this to the people of this city by decreasing congestion and by providing more rapid and convenient transit. 12. The B.

is ready to equip and operate these lines whenever the city constructs them. 18. Passageways and stairways will connect the new Fourteenta street line with the Broadway subway at Union Square. 14. The operation of the western trait of the Fourteenth stret line is.

another step in the direction of bettor metropolitan transit. Sixteen Years History of the Subway. The reverse side of the program, issued by the Borough Celebration Committee, sets forth "The Story of Eastern District Subway." The most striking paragraph fol- "A tale of persistence overcoming procrastination, defying dissixteen years--that summarizes the appointment, "bringing success after Eastern District It is further related that early in November, 1909, about seventy-five citizens gathered in the assembly room of the F. F. Williams Battery, Metropolitan avenue, near Graham avenue, "fon the purpose of discussing better transit for the Eastern Continuing, "In that group were men grown old in civio and political welfare work, many of whom have since died, but the majority of whom live to praise this day.

"Thus came into existence the Eastern District Subway League, with Ernest Gilmore Gardner, president; Matthew T. Meagher, Owen J. Murphy, Frank F. Williame and Frank F. Schultz, as vice presidents; George W.

Schaedle, treasurer, and Otto Von Damm as secretary." There followed the inauguration of a campaign for new transit facilities for the Eastern District, related. By constant agitation, citizens this swung the Public Service Commission and the Board of Estimate away from a plan tor invest millions in sub. ways for the Bronx. Instead, the officials decided to build elevated lines. in the northerly borough and millions saved were made available for Brooklyn subway building.

After much delay in official channels, the interruption caused by the war, the failure of one contracting Arm and many other setbacks, work on the present tube, which was started in North Seventh street near Bedford avenue, April 8, 1916, was completed early this year. The remaining section of the line, which has yet to be built, failed of approval in the Board of Estimate. It is now up to the Board, of Transportation lol complete the job. Mrs. A.
