In the complaint the company Is

one of the most Important or wmen is .
the claim that the new green ears are
Inadequate. Tho document was signed

association, representing, so the slate- (
ment asserts, a consolidation nf seventy- ,
flvo business and Improvement associa
tions, with a trial membership of more
than 20.000 citizens, ,
Specific Instances of randy service as
charged Includo unfllleil cars passing 1
crowds nt street corners without stop
ping, Insufficient Inspectors to regulate ,
trafilc and the fa'lure or the company
to keep old-style yellow cars In repair.
Lack of proper service on the Sixtieth
street and Fifty-second street lines, both
of which are feeders for the elevated. Is
dwelt upon, as Is also the car shortage
on Germantown avenue. The statement I
goes on to ray; S
"On oilier routes, such as to Fox ,

dependent on the surface cars for trans- 1
portatlon, Ihe traffic stopped altogether

"The operation of the? so-called gretn
