Robert ID. White Silent
On Reported Marriage
Refuses to Confirm or Denv
That He Welded Mrs.
Bella Coons

Robert D. White ST., head Of the firm
Of Robert D. White & Co., 281 Fourth
Avenue, Brooklyn, refused last night
to affirm or deny report published
IN Brooklyn newspaper yesterday that
he had been married about five weeks
ago to Mrs, Bella Coons. The Brook
lyn newspaper published an extract
from letter said to have been written
by Robert d. White jr., the opening
Paragraph of which was quoted as
follows:
Robert D. White jr., of Hollis. L. T.
announces the marriage of his father
to Mrs. Bella Coons."
Mrs. Coons is the widow of Henry
Coons, assistant treasurer of the East
Brooklyn Savings Bank, who was killed
by Gordon Fawcett Handy. Handy
IS now in Sing Sing death house await
ing electrocution for his crime, which
was committed year ago last Satur-
day.
The report of the senior Whites
marriage quotes the junior White as
saying his father had met Mrs. Coons
only a short time ago. The Young man
ls reported to have said that his father
sent him telegram from Port Chester
N. T., announcing the wedding. and
later brought Mrs. Coons to the White
cottage at Hollis There followed
young White was quoted as saying
unpleasantness which eliminated when
ne was left to shift for himself on
thanksgiving Day, while his father and
Mrs Coons were away. After this Incl

"The state provides clothing and food
for these girls" he said last night.
"but it does little fer their happiness

Brooklyn Chamber
OF Commerce Asks
Economy Inquiry
Wants Commission to Devise
Ways of Reducing Munic-
ipal Expenses; Suggests
Revision of City Charter

The board Of directors Of tho Brook
lyn Chamber Of Commerce adopted
yesterday the report Of their budget
committee recommending immediate
legislation for the creation Of non
partisan commission to devise means
of drastically reducing New York
City's expenditures for municipal, bor-
ough and county governments. Costs
Of government are mounting alarming
ly, says tho committee. Retrench-
ment and the elimination of waste are
imperative. Other civic and CONNER
cial bodies will be requested to join
the Brooklyn chamber in urging the
Legislature to lose no time in pro-
viding the necessary enactments.
The commission should be composed
of six members to be appointed by the
Governor, three by the President OF
the Senate, three by the Speaker OF
the Assembly, three by the Mayor and
three by the President of the Board
of Aldermen, the chamber recon-
mends.
State expenditures also would come
under scrutiny in the general survey
suggested, but the principal duty Of
the commission would be to examine
the city charter and ordinances with
a view not only of eliminating waste
but Of improving the system Of fran
ing the city budget.
Tho Ia: L.
afforded the budget trainers for se-
crecy, and declares "there should be
the fullest publicity and the fullest
opportunity for public participation
in the process Of preparing
and enacting the city budget
whatever may be said in favor Of ex-
ecutive sessions of committees on
some public matters" it adds. "this
policy should not prevail in meetings
at which plans are matured for spend
ing public revenues"
The committee says that municipal
budgets have grown from $95.000,O ,OOC
for 1900 to S273,O00.000 for 1920. an
increase in excess of 28O per cent
At the same time the municipal debt
has increased more than 800 per cent
to total of s1,250, 100000, with in
terest charges exceeding $75,0O0,000 8
year.
With the state government steadily
demanding more and the Federal gov.
ernment calling for billions to be
raised by taxation, the chamber de-
clares the time has come to seek means
of relief from the growing burdens.
"We believe" the report continues
"that most citizens will agree that 6
comprehensive survey may we'll be in
augurated to determine how far the
city can go in adopting a policy Of
retrenchment and economy, when it i:
understood that more than S127, 100000
of the S215,000,0OO (Which is the city,
portion of the 1920 budget) will go t.
meet the pay roll Of the $4,000 cit.
employees, that nearly $7O0O,oo0 O.
the approximately $9,000,0O0 count,
budgets are spent on salaries an,
wages alone, that 70 per cent of tn
county expenditures and nearly 40 pc
cent of the city's expenditures ar
mandatory (required by Legislation
from Albany and, in that sense, no
voluntary on the city's part, and tha
in the period of twenty years sine
consolidation laws and charter amend
ments establishing new Offices an,
creating new functions have beel
added with too little regard to exist

Interborough Bonds Up
3 I-2 Points at Close
Plan to Haze City Take Orer
Rapid Transit Lines, With
Guarantee. Causes the Rise

The plan of the Public Service Com
mission for saving the local trac-
ton companies from bankruptcy by
transferring to the city all titles held
by them was reflected Yesterday in an
excited upward movement in the inter
borough Rapid Transit first and re-
funding per cent bonds. They opened
on the Stock Exchange at 81, compared
with Saturdays closing price of 81,
and on a heavy turnover finally ended
the day at 54 y, a net gain of 8 Y points.
1t was intimated in banking quarters
interested in the protection of these
bonds that the proposal of the Public
Service Commission may prove to be a
satisfactory solution of the local trac-
tion problem. In addition to transfer
ring to the city all titles of the COM
panies the plan also proposes to guar
antee payment by the city of rea-
sonable rate of interest on fair ap-
praisals and the setting aside of a
reasonable rate of interest on the prop
critics at the expiration of thirty eight
years, perhaps with sufficient in
crease in fare to meet these require
ments.
Under a program of this character
the position of the Interborough mort
gage bonds would be strongly in
trenched. Adoption of the proposed
plan, it is stated, would insure
revenue for operating expenses, dcpre-
citation and maintenance and a fair re-
turn on the proved capital invested
as we'll as l per cent for an amorti-
zation fund to purchase the lines at
the expiration of thirty-eight years.
The 1nterborough's contract with the
city provides for the acquisition of the
subway lines by the city at the end Of
forty-nne years, so the new proposal
merely involves fastening of the time
when municipal ownership would be
come effective.
