cities. was unconstitutional, and he asked
Commissioner Waldo 10 consider some
means ~ thwarting this mischievous
legislation.
The bill was brought n Mayor Gaynor q
attention by the Commissioner who pointed
out that its passage would mean the dis
banding Of New Yorks splendid traffic
squad without lettering the three-platoon
patrol system recently established.
In reply the Msvor picked flaws in the
bill II wasn't general bill for all cities,
As ~ purported to he, he said, since through
certain exceptions it laid down one system
for some and another system for others.
Regarding its unconstitutionality, he said
that tho provision OF the state constitution
Was that II \ bill applied 10 any number
n cities less than the whole number Of
class 1t must he accepted by the Mayor Of
each city before 1t became law. He
wrote.

DENIES 'DOCTORING' REPORT
B. G. Marsh, of Congestion Com
mieeion Issues Statement.

BENJAMIN e Marsh. secretary OF me lave
congestion commission. declared yesterday
that he had never substituted his own opln-
ions or conclusions for those of the coih-
mission. as was charged by Allan ROBIN
son. president of the Allied Real Estate
Interests and member OF the commission.
Mr.. Robinson charged that Mr.. Marsh
changed the report Of the commission on
certsin noints and caused doctored
report 10 be printed az the findings Of the
commission. Mr. Marsh denies This fatty
and declares that the recommendations ~
the commission. AS embodied in the Sulli
yan-Shortt bill I'm the Legislature. were
drawn up exactly as they had been voted
on by the commission.
Mr. Marsh in a statement quotes the
city Record Of March to support his
contention that the commission did recon-
mend the having Of the building tax, as
follows: THE rate Of taxation upon all
buildings be half the rate Of taxation upon
all land and that this reduction be Sc
cured by an equal change I'm each of I'VE
successive years This, he says, was
taken from the recommendations Of the
commission. as printed in the city Record
In answer TO statements made 10y MI
Robinson, Mr.. Marsh says
whether the Congestion Committee had
trouble with me first and last is matter
Tor other members than those representing
real estate interests TO determine. That /
substituted, as Mr. Robinson claims my
own opinions and conclusions for those OF
the commission is a deliberate mlsstate-
ment OF fact on Mr.. Robinsons part.
Mr. Robinson's statement that ] inserted

human occupancy Is contrary TO the fact.
His further statement that | submitted

nit as part Of the commissions report Is
equally false. Certain members OF the com
mission desired to suppress Information
