When the present Rapid Transit Com
mission goes out to give place to an
other. II such Il thing lie to happen. the
new board must be one appointed or
no partisan or factional lines. 1t must
be a body representative OF the business
energy. foresight and integrity which are
to constitute the backbone OF Greater
New York. 1t must be mad up OF men
who have practical ways Of dealing with
practical plans. who understand the
rights n privileges Of capitalists and
who will not surround real rapid transit
plans with such conditions and llmita-
lions that capital Is discouraged at the
outset. In short. the new Commission
must be one which will appreciate the
demand OF the hour. and will make at
least an npprcciable effort to be equal to
the emergency.

ment this morning. Mrs. Bachrach, a
