IliBI.I (Continued from Pair One.) stations will not be available, if this plan' is allowed to for at least a year and there is an agree mcnt to that effect now binding the operating company.

It seems the' contractor had an equipment "in operation on these tracks before.thc time set for the opening of the subway. The operating company could not run its trains while these stations were in course of construction unless some agreement was reached with this particular contractor. The railroad people agreed to put in their own wiring, supply fhe "juice" Au the cntractor's railroad trains and let him have the use of the tracks during the life of his contract in other words as- long as he needs them, which it is estimated will be about a year or, until the West End road is constructed and there is no longer need of dragging construction material through the subway. The idea that' the Fourth avenue subway is not needed between Thirty-sixth and Fifty-ninth streets is one that should be gotten out of the head of the B. R.

T. Company at the quickest possible moment especially as that company has seen fit to cut down the service on the elevated line to Bay Ridge. It is, of course, impossible to get anything done in the summer the Public Service Commission's members must have their vacation and 'the civic bodies are on vacation and the fi. R. T.

has too mnch work to do handling the Coney Island crowds to bother with the all-year residents of "Kicking Bay Ridge." Just the same there is ample reason for a strenuous kick and there is no question but what the operation of the Fourth avenue subwav to the fullest possible extent is the right of the residents' and property owners of the section and that despite any "gentlemen's agreement" between contractors and the railroad company the one for its convenience and the other to save money on a-contract both at the expense of a public that is long suffering and that has been the goat of stock jobbers and incompetent officials, engineers and political figureheads, for more years than it is nice to recall. The Fourth avenue subway belongs to the people and not to the operating company to make contracts or agreements for its use for private gain. 'It should be in operation for the welfare of the people and the use of the travelling public-r-and "juice" as well as tracks should be for those same people and their convenience, and not for the Crimins Company, or any other company.
