Says Mayor, Which Stirs

Mayor Gayaor came out strongly in a
letter to the Board Of Aldermen yester-
day in favor of the REF cal OF the special
ordinance permitting hotels and Other
public houses TO establish private hac!;
stands In the street in front Of their
premises. Although he did not mention

Public Gains. Say Hotel Men.

The general impression last night
among the hotel men uho had heard Of
MAYOR Gaynor's message to the aldermen
was that the Mayor was laboring under a
mistake # he believed that the private
cal stands maintained b. the hotels were
a disadvantage 10 the public. George W
Sweeney. manager OF tho Victoria and
president of the Hotel Mons Association
said:
1T Is certain that ii Mayor Gaynor un-
dcrstood the reasons tor hotels maintain
ing private stands Inc would not suggest
any measure that would result in their
abolition. The Mayor has the idea that
the hotels are profting by their cab
stands We receive 70 per cent Of the
charges. and this does not cover the ex-
perse Of supervision. The hotel asso-
citation will send a delegation 10 th"
Board Of Aldermen 10 protest against the
ordinance"
The managers said that the present sys-

fence OF their guests. but their safety

Saws.

Mayor GaynOr got letter Yesterday
morning from some one who said he sin
cercly believed the city should own the
subwayS and rather deplored the fact
that the Mayor favored the dual system.
But he felt the Mayor possibly had good
reasons for his stand. The letter was
signed Emanuel DeItsch. No 44o East
10th street" Straishtway the Mayor
answered the letter, telling the writer
nc seemed to be can honest man" and
advising him TO discontinue reading rag
bag and corrupt newspapers" Then he
explained 10 Mr.. Deutsch all about the
subway situation
In response To the request 81 Tribune

gether and added:

In his letter 10 young Deutsch the
Mayor expressed himself as much grieved
that there should be any who thought

going to do exactly that

The MAYOR went on To say that the
~ubways were not only TO be built by the
city. but were to be owned and con-
trolled by IL. Tie added:
THAT the companies put in part Of the
money for construction gives them no
ownership of the Subways. The money
they put in is paid back ont OF the caru-

The Mayor said that after a careful
study of the Law he was prepared to stat"
that tho idea that the city cannot ostab-

property devoted 10 public uses. without
the consent Of the owners is wrong.

The city has the power TO establish cab

SILK IMPROVED Ry WASHING
