Nixon Says City-Owned
Transit Is Ineuif0bIc

Public Service Commiss loncr Lewis
Nixon. addressing a meeting Of the
Bronx County Democratic Organization
at 1852 East fremont Avenue last night,
predicted that New York will eventual
ly be driven to municipal onership Of
its transit facilities in order to pre-
vent labor troubles.
Mr.. Nixon also predicted that if the
present method of dealing with the
traction problem is continued. every
rapid transit company in the city will
be bankrupt by the first Of the year.
But if VIC run the lines on a basis
Of flexible fare, giving the companies
an opportunity to make enopgh money
to give good service" he added, "within
three years we can get a fare of less
than five cents. with free transfer
privileges all over the city"
Mr. Nixon said that municipal own
ership is certain to come "in the full
ness of time, not because it is better
than private ownership. but because
ii is necessary as a means of settling
the disputes that arise when a large
body of labor must be handled The
people must come between the workers
and the companies, and strikers must
be made to understand that they arc
striking against the state
Municipal ownership is not possible
now. however. The city has not the
funds to buy the roads. Comprehen-
sive enabling laws, passed at Albany,
will be necessary. And anyone who
says that municipal ownership can
come in a few years is misleading the
people"
