TUBES GAIN 2,287,000 RIDERS More than 821,314,000 passengers were carried on the rapid transit lines of the city, the Hudson tubes, surface cars and busses during the quarter ending March 31, 1929, according to a report made, public yesterday by the Transit Commission. Of the total, the rapid transit and surface car lines carried 735,911,000 passengers, a decrease of 1,310,000, or 0.2 percent from the corresponding quarter of 1928. The Hudson tubes carried 28,514,000 passengers, the Williamsburg Bridge line, 868,000 and bus lines (reporting to the commission) 25,144,000. An estimate, based on counts made by the Service Bureau of the Transit Commission, of the traffic carried by the municipal bus lines gives a figure of approximately 24,400,000 passengers for the quarter. The Tompkins Bus Corporation lines, operating in Richmond, carried 478,000.

Further analysis shows that the rapid transit lines--the Interboro and the B. M. T. systems -carried 499,201,000 passengers during the quarter, an increase of 6,519,000, or 1.3 percent over the corresponding quarter of 1928. The greatest gain in traffic on the rapid transit lines was made by the subway division of the Interboro, which reported an increase over the March, 1928, quarter of 6,201,000 passengers, or 2.6 percent.

The elevated division, however, reported a loss of 1.968,000 passengers, or 2.3 percent. The B. M. T. lines showed a gain of 2,287,444, or 1.4 percent.

A falling off of 3.2 percent, or 829,000 passengers, is shown by the surface car lines, exclusive of the Williamsburg Bridge line, with a total for the quarter of 236,710,000. The Brooklyn surface lines reported 8 decrease of 2,594,000, or 2.2 percent. This is attributed to competition between the surface lines of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company and Nassau Electric Railroad Company, which was opened on July 14, 1928.

Boody, seen in his home at 39 Plaza which looks out on Grand Army Plaza and the entrance to Prospect Park, was being asked for his observations on present-day affairs.

Asked as to which side he Boys Showing Fathers How to Make Farm Pay Kenton, Ohio (P)-Farmers who have sons in Kenton High School are scanning farm journals and agricultural reports in an effort to hold the lead in farming.
