- TO OPEN SUBWAY LINK.
- Loop Completed Between Broadway and Myrtle Ave. Lines in Brooklyn.
The new Myrtle Avenue connection of the BRT, which joins the Broadway, Brooklyn, and Myrtle Avenue lines, will be put in operation tomorrow afternoon at 5 o clock, in time to take care of the homegoing crowds. This is the first track under the dual subway system agreement to be put in operation, although the Loop line, which was built two or three years before the rapid transit agreement was made, began to run trains on Aug. 4. The connection will make possible a through service from Chambers Street through the Loop by the Williamsburg Bridge to Ridgewood without the change of cars at Myrtle Avenue and Broadway. The Ridgewood trains will start from Chambers Street and will run through to Metropolitan Avenue, the terminal station of the Lutheran Cemetery line. This will make it no longer necessary to operate a short line service from the Bowery station of the Loop line to Broadway and Myrtle Avenue in order to take care of the Ridgewood business.
