EEyla11 Attacks
w e st Side Bill
AS Grab Scheme
Heads Onslaught Of City
Officials On Proposal Be-
fore Legislature

Not a single voice was raised in
favor of the so-called Ottinger-Adler
bill, pending before the Legislature,
providing for a terminal commission to
settle the long -drawn-out controversy
between the New York Central Railroad
and the city over the West Side i'm
proyement plan at the hearing on the
bll yesterday before the committee
on state Legislation OF the Board Of
Aldermen. Mayor Hylan, Controller
Craig and President Smith, of the
Board of Aldermen, vigorously opposed
the measure.
The Mayor read long speech in
which he declared the bill was merely
subterfugc for the "West Side grab;
that it deprived the city authorities
Of any power over the terminal facili-
ties Of the city and was framed to pre-
vent the Mayo from passing upon the
measure bcfore it reached the Cover
nor.
The bill was the result cf the work
of the Legislative investigating commit
tee appointed by Governor Whitman
and provides for the appointment of
a terminal commission for the city to
consist of the Mayor, the Controller,
two members of the Public Service
Commission to be designated by the
Governor. and three members to be
appointed by tie Governor who need
not be residents Of the city, and one
Of whom is TO be designated by The
Governor as chairman.
Bill Gives Sweeping Powers
Ii gives power to the commission TO
dispose of the citys waterfront proper
ties, to enter into agreements with the
New York Central Railroad and other
transportation companies for the i'm
provement Of the freight and terminal
facilities of the city, especially On the
West Side, and the Improvement and
elimination of the tracks of the New
New York Central Railroad at grade on
Eleventh Avenue.
This is another bold attempt on the
part of the New York Central Rail
road" said the Mayor, "to mislead tn
people and 10 take from the people Of
the city its right to deal with its own
affairs. 1t deprivcs tho Mayor Of his
veto power
THE Ottinger bill is merely a sub
terfuge for the West Side grab. The
city government has practically 10
voice in this bill, in that they have
only two Of the seven votes provided
for in this commission. The proposed
commission will have absolute power
to dispose of the city's property, lands,
streets and rights on such terms as it
secs fit, and to prescribe and make any
agreement the New York Central will
accept. The only right left to the city
by the bill is to pay whatever this
commission may impose upon the city,
or to defend a lawsuit brought against
the city to compel it to pay it's share
at the cost of the New York Central
Terminal improvements"
