Brooklyn Today
ON THIS DAY in 1915, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “McCall Hotly Vows He’ll Force B.R.T. to a ‘Showdown.’”
The article focused on conflict between the heads of the Public Service Commission and the B.R.T.
“‘There’s going to be a showdown between the Public Service Commission and the B.R.T. in reference to transit conditions in Brooklyn, and I want it distinctly understood that we mean business,’” the Eagle reported Chairman Edward E. McCall of the transit board saying.
