Rea had anything to offer. They seem to want to put it all on the city. They seem to think it is something that is up to the city. Of course that is absolutely wrong. They are railroad companies, operating under charters and they should endeavor to live up to those charters by furnishing the traveling public with adequate service.

"Instead they seek to climb down to the level of the I. R. T. and the B. R.

T. and ask the city to put up the money for them, and for bringing their service' up to the proper standard. They should realize that they are not city railroads, they are big steam railroads and it is most decidedly their own duty to bring their lines up to a condition of efficiency that provides the service railroads are expected to render. "The only thing I can see that Brooklyn can do is to get together, form an organization, work u- a plan with the aid of engineers that win provide relief, get behind and go after it hard. I think it is up to the Chamber of Commerce to go right at this problem without delay." Peters All Wrong, Says Thomas X.

Gould, Thomas V. Gould of Oppenheiiu, Collins said: "We were dumfounded when we! read the letter of Mr. Peters. Mr. 1 Peters knows that what he says is all! wrong.

Brooklyn is suffering seriously from the want of adequate train and facilities from the distributing point at Jamaica into Flat-bush ave. station, Brooklyn. I am surprised that Mr. Peters sliouldt be so thoroughly out of sympathy with the need for better facilities. It is one of the absolute nece6s ties of business in Brooklyn.

Absence of such service is the reaaon why we find people going to Manhattan instead of to Brooklyn. It is because the railroad makes it so uncomfortable for travelers who seek to reach this boro, and unless we get the proper service we are going to suffer and suffer seriously. "Mr. Peters' is all wrong when he makes the assertion that there is 'ample leeway' on Atlantic and why he should make such an assertion is beyond my comprehension. It must be because he views It merely from his office in Manhattan and not from personal contact with actual conditions.

If he were, shunted around that road between Jamaica and No-strand himself late for business appointments day after day and listened to the complaints of customers that they cannot reach the business section of Brooklyn except after a most uncomfortable trip, his view might be different, but he should know he certainly must know that the service is far from adeqmite. Urges Commerce Chamber to Act. "The transit body of the Chamber of Commerce should take this matter up immediately, make a study of the problem and get together on recommendations. In" fact, it seems to me that in view of the total lack of sympathy with the needs of Brooklyn shown by Mr. Peters, the business men should get together and form a committee for the specific purpose of going after the situation and getting some kind of relief.

I think if we could persuade Mr. Peters to accompany us on visit to the Fiatbush ave. station during the rush hour, especially: in the (mmmer time when conditions are unbearable, we could convince him that he is all wrong." Metz to Call Transit Meeting. H. A.

Mctz, chairman of the Transit Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, said he wasn't at all surprised that Mr. Peters should have no plan for relief. "Did you ever see a railroad do anything it didn't ha to?" he asked. "And don't you know," he added, "that the moro sardines you pack into a can the more you can get for the can and the less overhead you have to pay? Well, that's the answer. I am going to call a meeting of the transit committee to take, this matter up immediately after the first of the.

year. I know that Fiatbush ave. station is badly jammed at certain times. Jist how badly I do not know of personal information, for when I have occasion to travel in that direction 1 go by automobile." ENRIGHT ANNOUNCES POLICE PROMOTIONS Police Commissioner Knright today announced a number of promotionsas a sort, of New Year's gift to 20 members, in various grades of the Police Department. The most Important change was the swearing in of four new deputy chief inspectors, John O'Brien, Dom-Inlck Henry, Samuel Button and Cornelius Cohalane.

In his communication to tn Board of Estimate Commissioner Whalen states that his department will require at least six months additional time before It will be In a position to present a plan for the rebuilding of the famous old span.

"The location of the. new, bridge," Whalen says, "has given his department much concern. We realize thai, before recommending to your honorable board a specific location for a bridge that the department must be In a position to defend Its recommendation. After the consideration of all elements that enter Into this subject we have selected a site, which, in the. Judgment of this department, is the most desirable: "For the construction of a bridge at a point where It is most needed.

"Where the value of the property involved by the approaches of the bridge is very low because there has been very little, If any, real estate improvement in many years in the particular sections affected. Manhattan Bridge Most Serviceable "The Manhattan Bridge, of all the bridges In our bridge system, has been found to be the most serviceable one from all viewpoints. From a utilitarian standpoint it has no equal. Architecturally it compares very favorably with any other structure of its magnitude in the world. This bridge was designed over 20 years ago (in the age of horse-drawn vehicles), and the efficient duty it is performing today, particularly in caring for vehicular traffic, has gone fur beyond the expectations of Its de- BlIltMa.

I Ul 11 till uiciaiing tmu maintenance standpoint it has demonstrated beyond peradventure its ec-nomical qualities." He submitted figures showing that the percentage of increase In vehicular traffic on the Williamsburg Bridge In the last ten years amounted to 300 percent, and in the case of the Manhattan Bridge to 700 percent. As to the origin of the traffic, Commissioner Whalen says: "Our data shows that the origin of vehicular traffic In Manhattan that moves across the Williamsburg Bridge. 80 percent of It comes from the territory north of Delancey st. and 20 percent south of Delancey st. In the case of the Manhattan Bridge, 90 percent of the vehicular traffic comes from the territory north of Canal st.

and 10 percent originates south of Canal st. From these figures, it is very evident that the location of any bridge should be somewhere north of Delancey Manhattan, and north of Broadway, Brooklyn. The most available site in this area, considering traffic conditions, property values and general topography is, on the Manhattan side, the block between 8th and 9th running from lhn a ADn 1 I the Brooklyn side, commencing at the Kast River, between N. 3d and 5th running through to a plaza bounded by Havemeyer Metropolitan Lorimer st. and Ainslee st.

It is expected that the Board of Estimate will give a public hearing on the bridge project early in January. UPHOLDS WIFE'S DOWER IN LAND SOLD 3 TIMES That deeds which Wolf Miller signed as a single man, concealing the fact he had a wife, living and un-divorced, are and that the property at 609 Ashford which he sought to convey more than two years ago, is still subject to her dower rights. Is the effect of a decision handed down today by Justice Lewis in Supreme Court, equity term. On May 1, 1920, Miller sold the property to Susan Dubeshter. lie posed as a single man, and so the deed was accepted without the consent signature of his wife.

Hinde Miriam Miller, to whom he was married in Poland in 1892. Mrs. Dubeshter in turn sold the property to Samuel Abramg and he sold it to David Konigsberg. Mrs. Miller found out about it after it had been sold to Konlgsberg in June of last year, and asked the Court to impress her dower righta on the property.

Justice Lewis decided that the deeds were void in so far as Mrs. Miller's dower rights are concerned. BELIEVED CARBERY A BANDIT, GILLEN TESTIFIES AT ROSLYN (Special to The IJaule.J Roslyn, L. Dec. 29 A strange story was unfolded today before Coroner Andrew B.

Wcstervelt, during the inquest Into the death of Philip Carbery. a motorcar saiesmun of Min-cola, who was killed on the road between Glen Cove and Mineola. near the Clare nce Mackay estate, on Christmas night, Carbery was struck by a motorcar driven by Lester J. Gillen of Eart Fulton Hempstead. In which were three, of Gillen's friends and from the testimony today it appeared that they were convinced he was one of two bandits who hud previously tried to hold them up.

Gillen, according to his own testimony, tried to speed by the figure In the road and the side of his car struck the man and killed him. The possibility was developed during the coroner's inquiry that Cai-bery and his brother-in-law, Chester Blekiiki. who was with him. may themselves have been a victim of a holdup, as HU-klcki claims they were, and testimony was introduced con cerning a third mysterious car ai Ford fcdan peen near the spot where the occurred. After taking tintimony all morning! long, the Inquiry was adjourned lor i a week to piv Assistant DiGtriet Attorney EdwiiuH an opportunity I') learn more nhoiit the mysterious.

Because they must stand In line is their own fault they waited until the last ml l-ute. Dec, 31 is the last day to secure plates on time.

'Over in Manhattan and elsewhere the officials have developed the idea of establishing more offices. There are in all Ave new places where motorists may go- to get their plates. They will be in operation until Jan. 6, but that does not mean that there will be an extension of time. Those who have not been able to go to the bureau office may go next week tb one of these five places.

However, they will not be permitted to operate their motorcars as long as the 1922 plates (ire s-played. The temporary offices are: Those at the boro halls in St. George, S. and in the Bronx, in the Board of Trade rooms in Jamaica, the 104th Field Artillery Armory, 68th st. and Broadway, and the 9th Coast Defense Command Armory at 125 W.

It is charged that the fuel administrators had failed to survey the amount, kind and quality of coal on hand within the State or to seek any evidence that would enable the fixing of just and reasonable prices in the various areas, Much Soft Coal on Way. The report of a two-days' coal reserve within the Metropolitan area was not taken as a sign for pessimism by the State Fuel Administration, it was stated today. Large shipments of soft coal are on their way to New Jersey tidewater, and It was pointed out that the regular shipments to these points were being received and pasted on to the consumer.

The two-days' reserve is about 61.000 tons. NewYork uses 80,000 tons daily In the home. The surplus now available comnrisos 1.9,000 tons of buckwheat, 15,000 tons Pf soft coal, 2,600 tons of pea coal and about 26,000 tons of egg, stove and nut anthracite. The storm of yesterday will not greatly hamper shipments from the mines, it was stated. A comparatively light snowfall was reported in Pennsylvania and the fall in New Jersey was not such as to tie up coal trains.

The chief concern of the Fuel Administration was the slump in soft coal reserves within a few days of from J.00,000 tons io 15,000 tons, but it was pointed out that with the public turning to substitutes, inroads on the bituminous surplus were inevitable. One effect that the storm may exert on the unloeding of cars and barges will bo found in the frozen cargoes now standing at the terminals. They woinranaliAH anH then frOZOn. While this will complicate the method of discharging witn tne use or steam scoops In the case of most of the coal cars, dumping will break up the Icy mass automatically. The problem of unloading barges at the Brooklyn coal pockets will be increased by freezing, but should result only In minor delays, it was explained.

General Coal Situation Better. Washington, Dec. 29 The situation as to the country's supply of bituminous coal is now good, while current production of anthracite is exceeding expectations, Conrad B. Spens, who retires as Federal Fuel Distributor on Jan. 1, reported to President Harding today In a final estimate of fuel conditions.

Reviewing at length the work of his office, which was established Sept. 22 after the conclus'on of the national coal Btrlko, Mr Spens declared railroad co-operation during the emergency had been satisfactory, and continuously better results In the movement of lual should obtain during coming months. DEAN RICHARDSON OFF ON VACATION Dean William Payson, Richardson of the Brooklyn Law School, St. Lawrence University, left today for a vacation of three months In California. He went at the request of tho school trustees, who wished him to take a rest and who also wished to recognize his achievements with tho school.

Dean Richardson established the Brooklyn Law School in 1901 with eight students, occupying a room in the Heffiey Business School. Two years later he induced St. Lawrence University, of which Dr. Almon Gunnison was president, to take over his school so that It might Issue degrees. Today the Brooklyn Law School has 1,128 students and ranks fourth ih the matter of attendance of all schools In the country.

At a dinner given to Supreme Court Justice W. B. Carswell lost night, Deun Richardson was warmly congratulated on his work. Justice Carswell Is the first graduate of this school to be elected to the Supremo Court. N.

Y. DOCK CO. FIGHTS FOR TAX REDUCTION The New York Dock Company today began legal battle in the courts for reduction of the taxes levied against its Brooklyn properties for the year 1921, which are assessed at a total value of $32,360,600. This is an increase of $11,688,500 over the 1920 valuation. The company owns in Brooklyn two and a half miles of waterfront property.

159 warehouses, 84 piers. 20 factory buildings, and Bells wharfage to 20 steamship lines. The company asked Justice Callaghan In Supreme Court to make the tax assessors reveal the evidence that prompted the increase and the method of computation that resulted In the new figures. "Is this the Motor Vehicle Bureau?" asked an inquiring motorist of a policeman stationed In "front of 137 Washington midway between Myrtle ave. and Johnson'st, "Yes, this is the Bureau all right, but if you want to get in Just step around on Myrtle ave.

and take your place on the end of ths line," replied the cop. The 200-yard-long line was typical of the congestion that existed today at the license office, which is working full blast to clear up the mass of applications for 1923 plates. Yesterday rain poured down on the line of motorists and today sudden gusts of wind covered them with snow. Snow covered feet slipped on ice-covered pavement and the cold nipped exposed hands and faces. Show windows of shopkeepers on Washington st.

President Peters' Tart Reply. The railroad's reply, dated yesterday, took exception to the charges of Mr. Wood in and "seriously" objected to "the information constantly being given out by your assistants and deputies to the effect that the Long Island Railroad is short of locomotives anu that, it Is not properly handling Us business." in letter makes no di rect reference to the number of coal cars received over the roao. termi nals. He cites that the roaa in tne three month has handled over 625,000 tons of anthracite.

"It is a wonderful performance, ne writes, after showing that the road for the year has handled 1,275,402 tons of hard, 312,000 ton? of soft coal and 23,000 tons of coke, compared with 1,566.166 tons of hard, 255,021 tons of soft coal and 13,941 tons of coke in 1921. Mr. Peters explains the apparent shortage of tonnage handled this year ov tne raci max umy tons of hard coal were received in Mav, June, July and August. 1922. "It takes most expensive float bridges and waterfront facilities." explained President Peters, "besides tugs, floats and locomotives to handle this traffic, and float bridges, tugs and waterfront facilities cannot be provided In a few days or months." Puts Blame on Coal Strike.

This followed a statement that "the coal strike is responsible for the situation and not the Long Island Railroad." "It is remarkable that we have done as well as we have," continues Mr. Peters, "when you consider that all other elasaes of freight traffic to and from Long Island have been at a peak movement during the past three months. It Is true that our connections bring their floats and freight to us faster than our float bridges and yards can accommodate, but we have no difficulty in disposing of all freight that we have been able to receive over the float bridges, as our patrons have been very prompt In unloading. "At 9 a. m.

today yesterday we have 13 foreign floats waiting to be handled at Long Island City. On these floats, besides other freight, are 127 cars of coal. They will be handled before night, but the floats come to us faster than our bridges can care for them. "There is only one of the coal yard on Long Island that is congested for whom we are holding 60 cars, while the best they can do in unloading is seven cars a Perhaps you can help us in redistributing that accumulation. At Kast New, York one consignee has 65 cars of coal this morning, but unloads 40 cars per day, and ia always prompt.

Says Road is Doing: Heroic Work. "I think you will agree with me that our organization should be complimented for having done so well In taking care of the traffic In this emergency that was brought about through the coal strike, which necessitated the handling of an abnormal number of loads in two or three months, instead of having it distributed over the year. Not only heroic work, but everything possible is being done by our organization, and I assure you their efforts will be continued." Mr. Woodin's reply to the statements of the roaiija president was to make the two letters public. It was stated to an Kagle reporter by freight officials of the Long Island that the road was able to handle 100 cara a day, that coal was being given the preference and that "every clerk wa.4 bending his utmost energies to push through consignments of coal as they arrived." Drtimmoiid Staves Off Mandamus.

At the request of Samuel J. Drum-mond. local coal administrator. Justice Callaghan in Supreme Court today put over until Jan. 6 the application of Daniel J.

Sweeney, chairman of the Allied Civic Coal Committee, for a mandamus which would compel Drummond and William H. Woodln, the State Fuel Administrator, to perform their official duties which, it is claimed, they neglected. Mr. Drummond told the court that It was to get ready on such short notice tc convince the court that no mandamus should be' issued. Thomas Twyford, attorney for the civic committee, said he would not Steamer Munmotor Gains in Battle Off Coast-At First Reported Listing Badly.
