Squiers Asks
Garbage Deal
Investigation
Would Summon Mayor to
Disclose Details of
Secret Contract
By BRIGGS

A committee OF seven members of the
secret contract made by Mayor Hylan
and his Street Cleaning Commissioner,
A B. McStay, with the New York SAM
tary Utilization Company to pay it
$1,000 day for disposing of the city's
garbage. Mayor Hylan will be one of
the first witnesses summoned, if the
board adopts a resolution moved by
Alderman Arnon L. Squiers, minority
leader Of the board, at it's meeting yes
terday.
Alderman Squiers's resolution said
that on October % the board called
upon the Mayor to make public the de-
tails Of this contract. The first answer
to the boards request came Yesterday
when the Mayor sent a letter saying he
had been so engrossed in investigating
the Brighton Beach wreck that he did
not have time to give the board the
facts sought.
Unless powerful pressure is brought
to bear on the Tammany majority in
the board the investiga ton will be well
under way within ten days.
Alderman Squiers contrasted the
terms of the contract with the garbage
disposal contract made by Mayor
Mitchell and his Street Cleaning Com
missioner.
The Mitchell contract called for the
payment. TO the city by the garbage
disposal company of s191 900 to $3.50
600 year out of its profits made bv
reducing the garbage into fats and
other valuable by-products. The Hylan
contract agreed to pay $1,000 daily, or
$365,000 year.
The irvectj tipr
the committee on rules has been asked
TO name, will be empowered to sub
ppna witnesses, books and documents.
Alderman Squiers made it plain that
he wanted to have the Mayor sum
moned.
Mayor Hylan has made charges that
there are accelerators behind a scheme
TO tolst upon the city a garbage plant
and that this same crowd was very
lars from the city" said Alderman
SQuiers
He must have had facts before him
when he made those charges. He
should take the public into his conf
dence and make known the names of
these would-be robbers of the city's
funds"
Another thing that Mayor Hylan and
few other city officials will be asked
to explain is why the item in the 1919
budget for the disposal of garbage and
ashes jumped from $500 900 to So.
100000.
The making of the budget is ex-
pected to be gone into by the Alder
men il some officials do not intervene
and force the Tammany majority into
killing the Squiers resolution.
The resolution also provides that
the aldermsnic investigating committee
shall inquire into the whole subject
OF garbage disposal, to determine the
best method to be adopted by this city.
While the resolution was being Of
lered IN the Board of Aldermen, it was
announced at the office of Commits

received In answer to the public ad-
vertlsement calling for private con

Tears brought the simple story to an
end, and Elizabeth Baksa. the nineteen
year-old girl on trial for murder in the
Court of Special Sessions. was led away
to her cell to await the real opening of
her case to-day. She had been per-
mltted to make brief statement to re-
porters after the court adjourned last
night.
This is her last statement until she
tells on the witness stand the details
of the day when Mrs. Helen Hamel, her
landlady at 5O7 West Twenty third
Street was found strangled to death in
the kitchen.
Against the girl there is no direct
evidence, but q mountain of circumsan-
tai facts, which. was outlined by Alfred
IalIey, the prosecuting attorney, in
opening the case yesterday afternoon.
The girl is alone in the city. Her
father is a workingman in South Beth
lehem, Penn, and cannot afford to stav
IN the city during the trial. She has no
friends or relatives here.

alone, destitute.
"On February Ia one of the lodeers
went to the Kitchen and found Mrs.
Hamel dead on the sofa. There were
nine bruises nher head, and about
her neck was a towel fastened with a

gulation.

Claim of 2 1-4-Minute Ex.

Borne Out

Although Tribune Investigations yes
terday disclosed an Improvement in In
terborough traffic conditions, the claim
of two-and -Quarter-minute express
schedule, made by officials, was not
borne out during the height of the rush
hour, between and D. m
In a statement to the Public Service
Commission Monday Frank r. Hedley
vice-president and general manager Of
the lnterborough, said that during the
heaviest traffic periods the headway Of
express trains had been reduced to two
minutes and fifteen seconds, The ac-
tual time between trains on the Lex
ington Avenue and the Broadway and
Seventh Avenue lines averaged two and
three-fifths minutes.
TWenty1hree northbound express
trains passed through the Brook lyn
Bridge station between 5 and o'clock
and the same number were counted out
of the Times Square station.
Near Demanded Schedule
Nineteen local trains were operate d
during the rush hour on the Lexington
Avenue subway and eighteen on the
Seventh Avenue Broadway line. This
approximates the schedule demanded
by the Public Service Commission.
The trains on the Broadway line dur
ing the rush hours were divided as
follows: Van Courtlandt and 242d
Street express, seven; Broadway and
215th Street express, six; Bronx Park
and 180th Street express, eleven; Dyck-
man Street local, nine; Lenox Avenue
and 145th Street local, nine.
In every instance the company filed
the requirement for ten-coach express
trains and six-coach locals.
Nearly 100 per cent increase in ex-
press service has been shown since the
"H' system was put into operation last
August. On August 16 Tribune re-
porters counted twelve trains running
between s and p. m. OH the East Side

yesterday in a letter to the Board Of

to push the letting of contracts for the

that steel and other materials were

war industries.
