short distance from the station when he
saw the man run across the tracks. He
Immediately applied the brakes and blew
his whistle. but the distance was too
short. The train swept on until the first
car and half OF the second had passed
the man. a space Of less than an inch
separates the cars from the edge Of the
platform.
Patrolman Soderberg, OF the 9TH street
station. warned Of the accident by the
whistle and sudden stopping Of the train
overhead, called an ambulance. Then he
summoned Hook and Ladder Company 3.
Lieutenant Heckendorf responded with

A huge crowd gathered in the street
below the station and seriously hampered
the work OF the fremen. Captain Sal

BUDGET ISSUE RAISED
Citizens Municipal Committee
CritiClSeS Gayn0r.
PRAISE FOR FUSI0NISTS
Mayor Accused of Not Cooper
ating with His Board
of Estimate.

Mayor Gaynor is severely criticised for
many things that he did to block the work
Of the fusion Board of Estimate in a
statement issued by the Citizens Mu-
nicipal Committee last night. 1t was
pointed out that the Mayor showed little
interest in rational budget making, and
that he refused to restore TO the budget
important items appropriating money for
needed Investigations which were cut out
by the Tammany members Of the Board
Of Aldermen.
The statement says, In part:
"One OF the most serious criticisms OF
Mayor Gaynor is the lack OF interest he
has shown in the budget work, which is
the most arduous work Of the Board Of
Estimate and Appointment He has at
tended none Of the budget committe.
meetings. though he has frequently been
specially invited.
THE street Cleaning Commissioner. an
appointee Of the Mayor. asked for money
for the removal Of snow. To sum IT u?
in the words used by the Subcommittee
CMcAneny and Mitchell. the proposed
contract. so unskilfully. clumsily and OBJ
securely drawn was SO INSTANTANEOUS
e the city. and favored the contractor a.
SO many points. that Il might with jus
tice he stated that no contract more IA
vorable 10 design TO plumber the city
could well have been conceived or drawn
The fusion Board Of Estimate and APP
portionment saved the city from return
e this system as proposed by the May
oi's street Cleaning Commissioner. IL
substituted form Of contract under
which the contractor is paid only for the
amount Of snow ne actually carries away
In his carts
The aldermen eliminated from the
bulge for 1911 the appropriations for IN
yestigations into the Department OF Edu-
cation. the Department OF Health. the Do
partment OF Public Charities and Belle
vuc and Allied Hospitals. and the question
Of Standardization Of salaries and grade
throughout the city service.
The committee urged the Mayor 10 re-
store BY his charter veto Of the alder
manic resolution the appropriations for
these important Investigations In the IN
terest OF rational budget making Mayor
Gaynor however. ignored this appeal from
the budget committee As one result tn
tremendously important work Of standard
ization OF salaries and grades did not get
well under way until the present year
In fact. when It was again cut out OF
the budget for 1912 by the aldermen the
Mayor for n second time refused TO re-
store IT, Eventually the money was Sc
cured by a transfer from other funds
Though hampered by the opposition OF
the Tammany aldermen and the lack OF
cooperation from Mayor Gaynor. the
fusion Board of Estimate and Apporiion-
nent has probed deeper into the work OF
the various city departments than any
OF It's predecessors"
