New Act Compels Estimate
Board to Drop Four
Years Work
Up to Commission Now
Future Negotiations Will Be
Entirely on a Rental
Basis

The last hope of reaching any agree
ment with the New York Central Rail
road on the West Side improvement
under the plan which has taken the
city authorities four years to work out
was buried yesterday at a meeting Of
the port and terminal committee of
the Board of Estimate in Controller
Prendergast's Office.
A resolution was adopted instrueting
the committee to report TO the Board
Of Estimate at its meeting Friday that
"the proposed form of agreement now
pending before it could not be consum-
mated under the act known as Chapter
719 Of the Laws of 1917 (the Ottinger-
Ellenbogen bilJ, and that the commit
tee requested to be discharged from all
further responsibility as far as the
proposed form of agreement is con-
cerned."
The committee also decided to pre-
pare a resolution for submission to the
board Friday providing for the ap-
pointment Of three members of the
board TO represent it on the conference
committee of FIVE members, two of
which have already been appointed
from the Public Service Commission. a $
required under the new law giving the
board and the commission joint juris-
diction in the matter. This committee
is expected to consider other ways of
settling the difficult West Side prob
lem.
Prendergast Explains Law
All the members of the port and ter
mlnal committee were present at the
meeting, including Mayor Mitchell. the
Controller, Borough Presidents Marks
and Pounds and Dock Commissioner
Smith. Ira>A. Place, vice president of
the New York Central, represented the
railroad. Controller Prendergast point
ed out in detail the provisions Of the
new law requiring that any future
plans should have the approval of the
Public Service Commission and calling
for rental basis for any future set
tlement by charging the railroad for
the use of the city streets.
The Controller reviewed the details
Of the plan tentatively agreed upon be-
tween the city and the railroad prior
TO Governor Whitman's approval Of
the Ottinger bill, and pointed out the
impossbiity of further negotiations
under that plan, as it was based entire
ly upon real estate exchanges and not
rentals.
"By reason of the arbitrary and man.
datory provisions of the amendment of
Section 7 (the new law)," the Con-
troller said, with respect TO rental and
periodical adjustment thereof, the pro-

A CONTRIBUTION

Up from hell came Kaiser damn,
He calls himself the supermGn.
He sent his hordes To burn and blast
That he might build the cursed
caste.
He raised his sword and smote a
That ne'er did harm him or his
elan.
His minions base with careless hate
Drove vice thrO' woman pure and
chaste.
No trick or lie that mind could
think
Made his debased conscience shrink
Now woe and wasting mark his lair
And curses on him rend the air.
And now this devil man has said
That he and God are bound to shed
The life of man in rivers red
That he may be the human head.

the German people say to thru properly accredited
representatives, that they are ready to agree to settle
ment based Justice and reparaon OF the wrongs their
rulers have done" We do not ask dismemberment rob
berry punishment of the enemy butior the freedom OF
nations and their peoples from autoCratc domination rep
aration Belgium, the breaking Of German power over
Austria Turkey and the Balkan States and the evacuation
