Calls for Valuation on
Grants To Be Made by
City and Road
ACTION ANSWERS
TAXPAYERS PLEA
Merely Asks for Informa-
ton to Get Details,
Governor Says

Governor Whitman directed the Pub
lie Service Commission yesterday 10
submit to him a valuation OF all land
and rights to be granted by the city to
the New York Central Railroad under
the West Side improvement plan and OF
all lands and rights which the city
would receive in return.
A resolution introduced by Borough
President Marks and calling upon the
Public Service Commission to take this
same action was rejected some time ago
by the Board of Estimate.
Announcement OF the Governors &C.
tion was contained in reply by him to
an appeal sent him on Thursday by
william A. De Ford, who "as counsel
for the Randolph Realty Company, a
taxpayer Of the City Of New York,
stated that the city was about to grant
the railroad franchises in perpetuity
of incalculable value for a compensa-
ton so small as to be grotesque," and
asked that such appraisals be made.
Action by Governor
Governor Whitman said he did not
wish his action to be misconstrued. 81
have merely asked for information upon
one feature OF very great public i'm
provement," he said, "the details OF
which have been presented by the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
to the public of the City of New York
for their study and consideration. The
appraisement by the commission OF the
values of rights, if rights are to be
transferred and value Of land which 1t
il proposed to transfer, will certainly
facilitate the kind of consideration for
which the Board of Estimate has
asked"
In his letter to the Governor Mr.. De
Ford called attention TO the fact that
the Board of Estimates power to grant
franchises in perpetuity independent
of the Public Service Commission was
only made possible by the act Of 1911
which act, he stated, was drawn by or
drafted in consultation with the coun-
sci and engineers of the Central COM
pany" after they had been informed by

Washington, Feb. 1o.-A point Of or

Proposes Opening of the
Mediterranean to Amer
leans Unhindered
AUSTRIANS SEE
FAVORABLE OMEN
People Hopeful as Wilson
Delays Severing Diplo-
matte Relations

London. Feb. 10.-Reports from vi,
emma received at The Hague and
transmitted by the Exchange Tele-
graph Company. say that the Austro'
Hungarian government is negotiating
with American Ambassador Penfleld
over the question Of allowing Ameri-
cans to travel unhindered in the
Mediterranean, hoping thereby to
avert a severance OF relations between
Austria Hungary and the United
States.
1t is not expected, the dispatch
adds, that the negotiations will sue
coed, because Germany Is averse TO
giving any pledge regarding Ameri-
cans, on the ground that it would
weaken the blockade IN the Mediter-
ranean, and Austria-Hungary is un-
able 20 give a guarantee without Ger
man sanction.
Austrians Are Hopeful
Government circles and the public
generally view the delayed action Of
President Wilson regarding the rela-
tions between Austria-Hungary and the
u
omen, and wonder if no rupture is to
occur. The newspapers, IN majority
of cases, hold a similar view, with the
result that the tone of the editorials is
losing its sharpness.
But the "Reichspost," the most prom
inent Catholic organ, had three
large white spots, inflicted by the cen
sors. in an editorial attacking Presi-
dent Wilson this morning. Judging by
the little the censors permitted to APP
pear, the editorial must have been ex-
tremely rabid.
Other papers this morning expressed
the hope that the American govern
ment would learn from the other neu-
trails attitude that the case of the Cen
trail Powers was not so one-sided as the
Entente would have the world believe.
Americans To Be Protected
The Associated Press learns that the
Austro- Hungarian government yester-
day instructed the military and other
public safety organizations that the
greatest possible courtesy should be
shown all American citizens IN any
event, and that possible complaints by
any Americans should receive prompt
attention.
Emperor Charles has placed at the

a member of the Public Service Com
mission that that body would not con-
sent to any such perpetual grant.
He recalled that the chairman OF the
commission at that time was William
r. Wilcox, appointed by Governor
Hughes. who Is now employed to advise
the city and the Board OF Estimate as
to the legality Of the proposed grants.
He quoted Mr.. Willcox's recent state
ment that he could harry believe at
were possible for the members of the
present board 70 stand for such prop
osition" and Bird S. Coler's estimate
that the franchise would be worth be-
tween 100000 and s30,O00,OO0 to the
railroad.
Wants Valuation Set
After calling attention 10 the refusal
OF the Board of Estimate TO ask for an
advisory appraisement, DR.. De Ford
urged that the Governor use his
actual. If unwritten. power TO in
struct the commission to evaluate the
franchise for the following purposes:
ITO inform you as 70 whether tho
grants proposed will result in a gross
waste of the property of the people OF
the City Of New York, so that. in the
light Of such information, you may take
steps as you deem necessary for the
protection of the city's property.
THAT the people Of the City of New
York may know just what they are to
get for the property, franchises and
rights which the Board Of Estimate
proposes to grant in perpetuity to the
Central Company.
That the Board of Estimate may be
informed, whether they want to know it
or not. of the real value of the prop
erty and rights which they are about TO
convey to the Central Company"
Mr. De Ford concluded by calling the
Governors attention TO the fact that
while he has no power TO interfere in
the proposed plan, he has the right to
recommend the passage Of law which
would prevent the Board of Estimate
from entering into such proposed
agreements in the future without the
approval and consent Of the Public Ser
vice Commission.
