' Ths Tlrftxl Avenue Railway Company
ent to HrhlKe Commissioner Krneke
yesterday a formal offer to operate
through nnd local service- ucros the
nvilllnmsburg HrldKC This company
ould allow the city the same share of
profits which Mr. Kntcke demanded of
tho Brooklyn Kapld Transit company
and which the R. It. T. has refused tu
roncedo.
In the ofTer of the Third Avenue com
pany the BrldKO Commissioner sees a
chance of ctidlns the controversy and
of obtaining for the city what he deems
a fair proportion of the revenue. Ho
aid recently that tho It. H. T. and the
New York Hallway Company, which
tofiether form tho brldfic operating com
pany, capitalized at $100,000, were net
ting J100.000 a year from their lease of
tho bridge tracks owned by the city and
that tho J 10,000 yearly which they paid
the city was far too little.
Tho Third Avcnuo company agrewi to
allow the city substantially all of the
profits of the local line, retaining only
enough to cover tlu operating cost and
JO per cent, of the profits. Tho city
would have unrestricted control of the
bridge tracks, tho company not ask
ing for exclusive control. The present
toll of 6 cents a car would be continued.
tThe toll money would not be rebated
gainst the company's franchise tax ac
count but would be retained by the city.
Commissioner Kracke saUl yestorday:
"Col. Timothy 8. Williams president
( the B. It. T.J was quoted In the news
papers tho other day as follows: 'If,
However, the Commissioner Kracke In
sists upon exacting more onerous terms,
or if ho wishes to divide the short haul
from the long haul business and givo to
political friends or others the short haul
butlncKs, leaving us tho unprotltable
Jong haul business This state
ment of the Colonel's rather amused me
tX the time.
"Tito Colonel's solicitude over my giv
ing a public contract to political friends
is rather a reflection upon his good
Judgment than anything otherwise
worthy of consideration. I am making
public to-day a formal proposal which I
liad definitely, though orally, before me
at the time I mentioned to the 13. It. T.
negotiators that there was another pro
posal for tho Williamsburg Urldgo op
eration before this department. It will,
perhaps, ease the Colonel's mind to And
that this proposal Is not from a political
friend of mine, but from Kdward A.
Pilaher, vice-president and general man
ager of the Third Avenue Hallway Com
pany, who has wide experience and
ranks In the railroad world with the re
doubtable Colonel himself."

PRICE decides, when you come down to facts. Do you does any one else
want to pay more for furniture when you can get it for less?
t People take it for granted nowadays that a good store carries furniture worthy
of its reputation. Other great stores besides Macy's may justly claim high quality
and fine, extensive stocks. '
The point is that Macy's has all these advantages and another advantage, besides,
that no other store can claim.

tribute to achieve that effect of harmonious repose. Their beauty will be
