Steel  Cars to its Prev
ent Equipment
After more than ordinary careful •preparation and study, the manage¬ ment of the Long Island Railroad put its summer time table into effect yes¬ terday. The proposition confronting the officials in preparing this table was to give the hundreds of thousands of people who will be on Long Island this summer the maximum of speed and comfort in getting between their homes and placea of business. It was realized that the question of rates will not enter into the matter, because the' Long laland, with its 140 new steel cars now about to be delivered and its other first-class rolling stock is in a position to give the best and better than any road out of New York City can do.
