the the THURSDAY THE BROOKLYN DAILY TIMES OCTOBER 16, 1924 11 I.R.T. WILL GIVE INCREASED SERVICE TO LIVONIA AVENUE Practically Certain That 100 New Cars Will Be Put on Eastern Parkway Line. An increase of from 25 to 50 per cent. in the service on the Eastern parkway subway of the Interborough line, from Atlantic avenue to Livonia avenue, is practicaly certain to be in effect within six or eight weeks. This was made known yesterday in the course of a hearing before the Transit Commission on the allocation of the second 100 of the 350 new subway cars which the commission ordered the railroad two years ago to purchase.

Two alternative plans were before the commission for use of some of the new cars to improve the service on the Eastern parkway branch. That proposed by thou commission itself, in response urgent requests is make use of the express tracks on then part of people using the line, between Atlantic and Utica avenues, which have been unused since 1920, when the subway was completed. It is proposed to have half of the east side trains running on Lexington avenue, all of which now terminate at Atlantic avenue, continue 88 expresses to Utica avenue and as locals beyond that station to the New Lots avenue station. Keegan Opposes Plan. George Keegan, assistant to Frank Hedley, and Arthur G.

Peacock, counsel for the Interborough Transit appeared at the hearing in opposition to the plan. In an Informal statement preceeding the taking of formal testimony Mr. Keegan described 'the plan, which he said was approved by Mr. Hedley, providing for the placing of 70 of the new cars on the west side line going to Pennsylvania and Livon'a avenues and also to Flatbush and Nostrand avenues. The Transit Commission's plan provides for the placing of 40 additional cars in the Eastern parkway service.

Both the Transit Commission's and the railroad's plans provide for through service on the Pennsylvania avenue line all the way to Livonia avenue and elimination of the shuttle from Pennsylvania avenue. Mr. Keegan announced that the through service would be installed in a week less and that the new cars, which being received, could be service within six or eight weeks. In opposing the opening of express service Mr. Keegan said: "We think the greatest need at is to increase the service bepresent tween Brooklyn and Manhattan.

The plan to utilize the express tracks would provide not a single additional seat west of Atlantic avenue while plan approved by Mr. Hedley provides for a 25 per cent. increase west well as east of Atlantic avenue." Edgerton on Stand. Walter T. Edgerton, chief of the bureau of the Transit Commission, placed 011 the stand.

Mr. Edgerton testified- now that Went seven trains operated per hour, east of Atlantic avenue. With the use of the tracks, he said, it would be express possible to run thirty additional trains. The express trains provided for in the plan, he said, would provide 6,600 additional seats, an inof 50 per cent. and decrease crease 325 per cent.

to 185 per cent. from the overloading of the trains. Under cross examination by Mr. Peacock the witness explained that while passengers bound for the east side benefit subway directly in by Manhattan would the use of the exside presses, would also benefit in the relief those bound for the west from congestion. Mr.

Edgerton was asked; know of any place on the "Do you Originate a Cross- Puzzle and Earn $5 BROOKLYN TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE NO.
