LESS CROWDING ON EARLY MORNING ELEVATED TRAINS LOOKED FOR. --y It will be welcome news, no doubt, to our readers in Richmond Hill and Jamaica to leant that thr ugh the efforts of Mr. Joseph Schrelber, the President of the Twenty-eighth Ward Board of Trade, an arangement has been made by which continual transportation is assured to our neighbors In the above mentioned teritory.

Tho question of adequate and reason able service to these sections has been matter of discussion between civic bodies for several months past, since the changes were made by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. It shows beyond question that if the pie are to secure the civic benefits which are leaglly due them by the various corporations operating within this Jurisdiction, they must come through the efforts of civic ass ciatlons and not through political channels as formerly. Tne acknowledgement In the letter of Vice-President John F. Calderwood is proof positive that Mr. Schrelber has finally succeeded in accomplishing a JOSEPH SCHREIBER, Prea't 28th Ward Board of Trade i very great good to the communities Involved which did not result from the efforts of our politicians.

Below Is a copy of Mr. Calderwood's letter: 'Office of the Brooklyn Rapid-Transit 168 -Montague Brooklyn, N. Y. Nov. 14, 1905 "Mr.

Joseph Schrelber, Pres. Twenty-eighth Ward Board of Trade, Bnoklyn, N.Y. Dear Sir: From a careful study of the conditions since the beginning of the present operations at Cypress Hills, and also after further consideration of the situation as you have presented it to us on Several occasions, wu iiu concluded to Issue optional tranrfors to elevated and surface cars at Cypress Hills, same to be affected to-morrow, the 15th Inst. Very truly urs, F. CALDERWOOP, Vice-President and The Interpretation to be placed on the above letter Is, that from last Thursday until further notice passengers bound for places beyond Cypress Hills will enjoy the privilege of choosing as to whether they will go by the way of the surface lines or by the elevated.

As f( Instance, a passenger alighting from the surface car bound ln; from Jamaica can either take the surface car and continue the ride to. New York, or be taken by the elevated cars Or If they are coming from New Tork or from any part of Brooklyn, they can make the Journey all trolley rr take elevated and transfer, at Cypress Hills and continue homeward by the surface line. This is the option that has been through the Twenty-eighth Ward Board. of Trade and Its Mr In. an' Interview had with Mr.

'Schrel-bcr after -he had visited, the office1 of President Winter, ho am more; than pleased to i have received the as-' surance that the concession will be same time feel thankful to the officials for the consideration given my Board 'through me." think' this wilL-rellere- the crowded conditions of the elevated enrs In. the early morning?" Mr. Schrelber was asked. "Tea, I do. There are a great -many people who now travel by the elevated that would not do so under any other circumstances, and hence the option will be a most welcome change.

I am glad that we have obtained It for these people, as that Is part of tho functions of a civic body such as the Twenty e'ghth Ward Board of Trade." In addition to the transfers at Cypress Hills the transit committee of the Twenty-eighth Ward Board of Trado, through President Schioiber, have secured the following change on the Ralph- avenue line: Commencing next Saturday, November 25 the Ralph avenue line will be run between Delancey street and Ca- narsie dpot vla the Williamsburg!) Bridge, Broadway, Ralph avenue and Douglas street, East New YTk avenue and Rockaway avenue. Beginning on the same date, the Sumner avenue line will be operated to DolanCey The Ralph avenue line' will bring residents of Brownsville to Delancey street in nine minutes less time than by the Hamburg avenue route.

A large and earnest gathering of the esldenls of East New York, south of Vtlantic avenue, was held lt Mon day night, at Torborg's Hall, Pitkin ivenue and Llnwood street, and or ganized the South Side Subway Ex tension Association, tne object being t'" Induce, or force. If necessary, the Rapid Transit Commission to favor the extension of a subway from Georgia ivenue to Cypress Hills through Pit kin avenue.

meeting had beon called by a committee of south side residents headed by Martin Phclffer. a man who has always been foremost In all matte-s pertaining to the Improvement of the locality. In opening the meeting Mr. Pheiffer cxplalrfjl that the Rapid Transit Commission favored a loop at he very entrance of the Twenty-sixth Ward, at Georgia avenue, to connect fhe proposed Eastern Parkway, and Broadwayi subway routes, leaving the thickly populated secti ft the Twen-fy-sixth Ward out In the cold. The speaker said that this could not be endured, In view of the fact that the south side Is increasing so rapidly In population, and would before long be the most densely populated section of the ward.

He advised that the association get to work immediately and appoint a ways and means committee to devise some plan of getting at the Rapid Transit Commission and of Impressing upon that body the necessity of an extension of the Eastern Parkway-route "thrrngh Pttkln avenue. Nothing can be accomplished by talk, he said, and the- committee to- be ap pointed must expect to work all along the line until the object in view should have- been accomplished. After Mr. Pheiffer had Introduced the subject lie was made pe-manent president of the association. Edmund Gallagher was elected secretary and 'I.

J. Stolpe James Brien sp'ke strongly In fa. vor of immediate action on the part of the association, which he thought ought to be called the South Side Sub way: Extension Association. He em bodied this suggestion in the form a motion, which was seconded by Edward A. Miller.

The motion was unam imously carried. Mr. O'Brien also sug gested that the. chair appoint a com mittee of three or five to get to work immediately. bert F.

Craig, a member of the Twenty-sixth Ward Board of Trade, ausrgested that such a committee be appointed and that they Immediately seek to gain an audience with the mem bers of the Rapid Transit Commission Should such committee fall to Impress upon the Rapid Transit Commission the of a south side subway, Craig-suggested that they -then confer with the Lrng Island Railway and see if tney could not tret tne mil road to run a spur from Its Atlantic avenue subway up through Pitkin avenue. This latter suggestion was vigorously opposed byt Edward F. Miller. A subway on the south side Is a. very said' Mr.

Miller. "There are nineteen- subways to be hullt and rne of them Is coming to the rery threshold of our ward. Beyond that point live thousands of, people who will be neglected In the transit provl sion. In a few years hundreds of thou sands of persons will live beyond Man Imttnn Junction, it is rf the utmost Importance that Liese persons have rapid transit real rapid transit In the shape Of a tunnel. Any, man with his eyes open must see" that the present system of surface- transportation will he as far; In the In raVewT years as the stage coach Is to-day.

Future transportation must be under ground. ft will be absolutely necessary to -have transportation f' this great population which Is coming here, and we must ap peal to our representatives In govern- ment to give us all the public utilities that will be necessary for us. Those nineteen subway routes may be thrown tslde. Private corporations cater only to that section where they can get pe--Dle- to hang onto straps. It Is such conditions which pay the dividends on watered stock.

This Is what we have 'o contend with. We need transporta tion and we do not need the Long Isl and Railway to give us transp nation on the surface. We want tunnels. We know what we want and we ought to demand what we want As soon as oosRlblo after the Inauguration of our next Mayor we oueht to see that repre sentatlves from New York come over and visit us, and see the need of schools, transportation and otner things. We will show them what we need and tell them we are bound to have It." Craig said that the Rapid Tran nit Commission Is an august body not to by knrcklng on the door.

Chairman Pheiffer said that he had heard that before, and that the Rapid Transit Commission Is a sclf-perpetuat- Ing body, -but that at the next legislation this self-perpetuating clause would be stricken out and that a member of the Assembly from tho Twenty-first Assembly District, would offer, the measure. "There Is a -way to make these peo ple nav, attention ot said Mr. Pheiffer. "We can demand what we want. The recent election shews that the people can have what they want If they, are determined, we can oemana that tunnel up this way and we can have It.

parts of the city have been neglected for the benefit of grasp ing corporations, but It hag come to a pass where the people are tired, and now that the corporations have to give us what we want the city is going to do It." On mptlon the following" committee was appointed to devise ways, and means for getting down to business at onoe: James W. O'Brien, Edward A Robert F. Craig, Charles Cor-dt-8 Charles H. Ogleau. It wag resolved that the committee meet Im mediately after adjournment to confer as to the best methods of getting In touch with the Rapid Transit Commis sion.

The committee was ordered to report back at the next meeting of the association, which will be held next Monday night in Torborgg Hall.
