916 GATES BROOKLYN. TELEPHONE 36 BUSHWICK. I 137.472.563 USED L.I.R. A. DEPOT IN BROOKLYN IN 1929 887,799 Less Than Passed Through Grand Central, With 4-Track Throat.

By reason of the Long Island Railroad's refusal to enlarge Flatbush Ave. Terminal, almost as many people yearly are to make the best of its inadequate facilities as are handled through the Grand Central Terminal, in Manhattan, with more than double the amount of trackage and platform space. According to figures made public by the Transit Commission last night only 887,799 more people used the big Grand Central station in 1923 than were crowded through Flatbush ave. Yet the Long Island maintains that it "would not pay" to increase facilities at the Brooklyn station. A total of 38,360,362 passed through Grand Central last year; 37,472,563 563 used the Flatbush ave.

structure. Into Grand Central two railroads, the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford, provide a 4-track throat, with two levels of loading platforms. The Long Island, for only 900,000 fewer passengers, provides only a 2-track approach, one level of station platform, and is so lacking in switching facilities, that trains are compelled to use one of the main approach tracks to switch. 3,000,000 Traffic Increase in 1923. The passenger traffic through Flatbush ave.

increased by more than 3,000,000 last year over the year before. In 1922 the total at Flatbush ave. was only 34,094,580. The growth at the Brooklyn station was also much greater than at Grand Central, as is shown by the fact while the Brooklyn station is now less than 1,000,000 under Grand tral, the 1922 figures showed it 393,120 behind the Manhattan terminal. Of the total of 325,920,315 passengers carried in and out of Greater New York on all lines, including ries, in 1923, the Long Island Railroad carried 69,766,867.

For 1922 it carried 63,795,553, 80 that there was an Increase of 5,971,314, of which 3,377,983, or three-fifths, was increased business through the Brooklyn terminal. Yet the Long Island Railroad, through its acting head, Vice President George Le has stated that it will not spend any money to enlarge the facilities at the Flatbush ave. terminal or add sufficient tracks through the throat from East New York westward to carry the passengers. Instead, the Long Island has joined in a deal with its owner, the Pennsylvania, to pay that corporation an increase of $1,000,000 a year rental for terminal space in the Penn Terminal, at 34th st. and 7th where the increase in traffic was actually 546,803 less than at the Brooklyn station.

The total Long Island traffic through Penn Terndnal for 1922 was 28.060,896 and for 1923 it was 30,892.076, or 7,000,000 less than in Brooklyn. Figures Show Strain on Small Terminal. The Long Island Railroad passenger traffic has jumped' 9,360,269, or 15.5 per in two years. More than half of these passengers used the Atlantic Ave. Division, and the Flatbush ave.

terminal has the largA est traffic of any terminal served by only a two-track railroad in New York and, so far as the Transit Commission investigators have been able to ascertain, anywhere in the world. The Long Island Railroad traffic in and out of Penn Terminal, Manrattan, was three times that of the Pennsylvania itself, the latter's total being only 9,988,430. Included in the Long Island's total of 69,766,867 gross traffic is 1.402.228 for Long Island City; Woodside has 2.289.540; Jamaica has 3,202.870 and East New York 1.650.000. These groups are terminal passengers who leave the Long Island trains at these points for transfer to ferries or rapid transit lines. Of the grand total figure.

481 are passengers landed from Tersey railroads and represents a growth of 10.972.895 over 1922. There were 102,406,539 carried in and out of the city by the Hudson Manhattan tubes. The ferry traffic totaled 49.038.692. The number of steam line commuters was 147.172,484 and, adding passengers by ferries and the Hudson tubes, not counted in the steam figures, there was a total of 238.225,318 commuters in and out IN MEMORIAM MORAN---In loving memory of the birthday of BLANCHE G.

Commissioner Grover A. Whalen of the Department of Plant and Structures yesterday denied the report that the city already owns a radio broadcasting plant, so that the establishment of another plant appeared to be a pure waste of public funds. "That story is absurd," said Whalen.

"The city does not own a radio plant outside of the one we are now getting from the Westinghouse Company. That company loaned the city a plant for experimental purposes for a while, but there was never any intention to buy it. "The radio broadcasting plant which this department has purchased from the Westinghouse Company," Mr. Whalen continued, "is one that has been tried out and proven to be most efficient. The station was formerly installed for the Brazilian Centenial Exposition at Rio de Janiero, and was in operation about six months.

This station when operating from South A America was heard for a distance of 7,000 miles. Radio fans in New York will appreciate the character of the station when it is recalled that this station is a duplicate of the station now known as Pittsburg broadcasting station. "There is no doubt in the minds of the experts of the Westinghouse Company, or of this just department, been that the station which purchased from the Westinghouse Company will be as efficient as the powerful station A F. "The programs to be broadcast from the municipal station will first of all be of a very high class character; must be free from politics: they must be educational and instructive. "Any programs that are arranged for the entertainment' and educational benefit of its people will be subject at all times to immediate su 1sion to meet any emergency requiring the use of the station by the Police, Fire and Health departments." BROTHER OF WOMAN FOUND IN PARK LAKE CAN'T BE LOCATED Thus far all efforts to find the brother of Miss E.

WILLIAM H. RYAN, Manager 164 Montague Street, Brooklyn Phone Main PRIMARY FIGHTS IN BORO MERELY "SAME OLD SONGS" Stein Crews, Gaynor Hobley, Carroll Lentol Scraps Now Ancient History. The story of this year's primary fight might easily be rewritten from the files of 2 or even 4 years ago. The fights are in the same old districts and the same old soldiers are doing the fighting.

They are using the same old ammunition and it will probably have the same old effect, or lack of effect. Is there anything unusual about the fact that Michael Stein is fighting with John R. Crews for Republican leadership in the 8th A. There is not. Stein has been fighting Crews ever since King Tut was a crown prince.

Is there anything unusual about the fact that John Gaynor is battling with Al Hobley for Republican, State Committeeman in It would be extraordinary if they were not battling. Could anything under the sun be more commonplace than the fight between Messrs. Merrick Nittoly and George Owens in the Republican 14th A. Nittoly and Owens have met and lought as many times as Dempsey and Wills have agreed to meet. In the 13th it is said that Jesse D.

Moore was so sure last year that William Porter would fight again this April that he saved all his circulars and campaign literature for further use, foresight has been rewarded. Porter is again trying to put the 4-wheel brakes on Owens. In the 8th A. D. there is the same old fight, but with one new fighter.

James E. McAvoy, ghost of the politically-dead Dennis F. Wheeler, ingists that Harold Turk is no more qualified to be leader than he would be to go sky writing in an airplane if he had an airplane, which he hasn't. Going back through the files several years we find an account of 3. fight between Senator Dan Carroll and Joseph Lentol for leadership in the 14th A.

D. The first story says that all Carroll's men have come over to Lentol's side. This was probably written by newspaperman who had been talking with Lentol. The second story denies the first one and says that all Lentol's men have come over to Carroll's side. This was probably written by the same newspaperman after talking with Carroll.

At any rate Carroll and Lentol are at it again this year, with supporters of each of them joining first one club and then the other, finally remaining with the man that has the better chance to win. In the Democratic 15th, James A. McQuade is giving Peter J. McGuinness a return match. Jim tripped Pete up last year, but the latter never knows when he is licked.

A man named James Kelsey, who has something or other to do with the Jefferson Club, has entered the fight hoping that the people will grow tired of the wrangling of McQuade and McGuinness and vote for him. All in all primary fights are good things. The, Republican chiefs encourage them because they make the voters think that a G. 0. P.

leadership in Kings County 'is really worth something after all, McCooey doesn't do anything to stop them because they fool the people into thinking that maybe John H. isn't such a big boss as he's made out to be. Flatbush Now Claims First Crocus Record The "first announced on Thursday by Miss Clara T. Nichols, principal of P. S.

holds the record for the season's first crocus. "The garden of P. S. 46 is not 80 early," said Mrs. Kerby yesterday.

"I had a bunch of snowdrops and one white crocus bloom in my garden on March 2. Two days later another white crocus appeared--and since then I have had bunches of snowdrops and not less than nine orange colored crocuses in full bloom. "How's that?" GIRL COLLARS THIEF IN STREET HOLDUP AND SAVES PAYROLL A man who described himself as Vincenzo Logiudize of Manhattan was arrested in less than 20 seconds after he had snatched a payroll comtaining $357 from the hands of Miss Ruth Spielberger, cashier in the Independent Car Front Manufacturing Company, at 495 West Broadway, Manhattan, yesterday afternoon. The girl's screams attracted passersby, who nabbed the man and held him for the police. Miss Spielberger had come to the bank and withdrawn the 8357.

She was walking through West Houston when Logiudize, who apparently had been trailing her, suddenly grasped her right hand, in which she carried an envelope containing the money, wrenched it from her and ran.
