Although the net corporate Income of the Interboro Rapid Transit Company more than doubled last February over Februarv, 1921, the company reduced its dally maximum of cars operated.

par tlcularly with relation to congestion at. Grand Central Terminal, Mr. Shearn asked why the Interboro and the B. R. T.

COMMANDANT SEES LOSS TO NAVY BY-JUNKING SHIPS HERE Market Glutted-Would Complete; South Dakota for Launching and Scrap It Elsewhere. Kngle Bureau, -901 Colorado EtUiding. Washington, April 10 -That. tlie. battleship South Dakota, now construction at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, be sufficiently completed to" launch is the recommendation of Capt, C.

T. Voeelfjesatig, commandant of the yard, to the naval scrapping board, which today Is making a final consideration of such suggestions. This board has for some timo been engaged In the task or framing plans for the fulfilment of the terms of the Naval Treaty. Captain Vogelgerang makes his recommendation in the name Of economy. He declares-that it wltl cost less than a quarto? ot a million dollars to bring the work on the South Dakota to such a point that she may be launched and removed to some more convenient )1ace to be scrapped.

In the rase of the Indiana, which is also under construction at tho yard, the commandant recommends that she he cut upon the ways, as the cost of completing her to the launching point won'd be prohibitive. The point of giving additional -employment to men at the yard Is stressed in the commandant's recommendation the board- The report declares It is "falrlv cer-; tnin" the government will lose monev by cutting the ships tip in the yards, particularly in Brooklyn. The scrap vanls in the vicinity of Brooklvn, It goes on, are already full of steel jtlnk and to dump the condemned vessels on the market there would force the scrap price down out of sight. For this recson Captain Vogelgesang recommends that the South Dakota be finished so she mav bp taken to some point for possible sale where better prices prevail. Other reasonr for the recommendation are: Once launched, the ship can be sunk at short notice to carry out th treaty icrms.

Om-e launched, she would be a belter put-chose for rmall ship brokers than if rhe were rut upnn the ways. Her punching would clear the yard and Fave the ways open for new construction in case of urgency. "MOVIES" OF NAVY YARD TO BE TAKEN SOON Word has arrived at the Brooklyn" Navy Yard from the office Of the Secretary of the Navy that at the sug-. gestion of Congressman Arddlpb L.
