Mayor Uses Influence at
Albany for Office to SUI

Contracts if Bill Passes

Stat Correspondence
ALBANY, Feb. 2.-Mayor Hylan has
abandoned all thoughts of obtaining
municipal ownership legislation and is
row bending his energies to ,obtain the
passage Of a bill creating a Rapid
Transit Commissioner. The Mayor has
the leaders of his own party here to
put through this bill. He wants it so
drawn that the $5O0O0,0o0 of work yet
to be done on New York City's subways
will be taken from the hands of the
Public Service Commission and turned
over TO the Rapid Transit Commits
sioner.
James A. Foley, minority leader Of
the Senate, and other Tammany men
have been buttonhoing Republicans
here to tell them that the Mayo is
simply pestering the life out of them
to ct such bill trough
Mayor Vans to Appoint Man
eth Mayor of New York iCty has
abandoned all intentions of getting rid
of the Public Service Commission" :"
said oae Republican leader to whom
Senator Foley appealed, "Why, | don't
know. His only concern now is to get
the control of the contracts taken from
the Public Service Commission and
lodged in the Rapid Transit Commits
sloner which he wants this Legislature
to create. And the Mayor, I am in
formed by his emissaries, would like to
see the bill SO drafted as to enable him
instead Of the Governor to appoint the
Rapid Transit Commissioner His ar
gument is that the Office is purely d
local one and not concerned with any
work of the state at large"
If such a bill would be put through
the Rapid Transit Commissioner would
have control over uncompleted work on
the subways, the letting of the con-
tracts on these undertakings, and
would also have the complete handling
OF OF the contracts for the proposed West
Side freight subway and terminal i'm
provement. Although proposed nearly
two months ago, as yet not a single
estimate as to the present cost Of this
project has been furnished by either
Controller Craig or Mayor Hyan.
Those who are watching the porceed-
i4gs have heard that it will cost be
tween $150000,000 and quarAer of a
billion dollars.
S50,000,O00 Still Heeld Up
1t was recalled by Republican legis-
lators here that on December 6 last
the New York City Board of Estimate
refused to grant request of the Pub
lie Service Commission for $50, ,0OO, 900
to complete the dual subways That
money has not as yet been awarded
The belief here is that nothing will be
done on it until Mayor Hylan sees
what chance he has of .iamming
through the proposed legislation.
Governor Smith IS backing a meas
ure which provides 70 the creation of
d single headed Public Service Com
mission in New York City which will
discharge all the duties Of the present
commission except that of construction
work. This, by the bill, is placed in
the hands of Rapid Transit Commits
sioner.
Their are some legislators here-men
who control legislation-who are in
clined to give Governor Smith this bill

JACK FROST APPROACHES

BY giving attention to facts estab-
lished by the weather bureau of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, farmers and gardeners often may
save crops and money by protecting
their paintings from frost.
For instance, a valley or depression
may be regular catch -all for frosts,
while a hill beside It may be visited
much less frequently. There is a we'll
recognized tendency for the air near
the surface in depressions or more or
less inclosed valleys TO become denser
and colder than that on nearby hill
sides. which increases the frost risk
in the lowlands The lesson from these
facts is that early and tender crops
should, so far as practicable, be con-
fined to crests, hillsides and mountain
sides, and later and harder crops
should be planted in lowlands and val
leys.
Notes on Frosts." which is Farmers
Bulletin 1O4 of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, discusses this
subject in detail, and may be obtained
free on application to the department.
The weather bureau Is preparing to is
sue another popular bulletin on this
subject.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
IN TWO BUILDINGS
Overtaxed Accommodations in
College Street Structure Ne
cessitates Removal of Part of
Pupils to Old Grammar Annex
Building

Crowded conditions in the junior
high school in this city have neces-
Stated the removal Of part Of this de-
partment to another building. 1t was
announced Thursday that arrange
ments have been made to move part
of the first and second year pupils to
the three rooms which have been &C.
cupied by the Red Cross in the build
ing on the northwest corner of Main
and South Union streets, diagonally OPP
posite the Edmunds high school. 1t is
thought that these rooms will be suffl-
Client to accommodate the overflow.
With 1914 pupils enrolled in the Junior
high school the first day of school, and
the building fitted to accommodate not
more than $50. conditions were very
crowded at that time. Now the en-
rollment has reached 412. with posi-
bilities of other pupils coming in, so
that 1t is out Of the question to take
care of them all In the old building
on College street. It Is possible that
more room may be required later to
seat all of the pupils comfortably, as
the present arrangements will leave
the College street building crowded to
capacity.
Thrse new teachers will be required
for the pupils of the Junior high school
who will be transferred to the new build
ing. These teachers have not vet been
selected. as the plans for the removal are
still in the process Of formation, but It
lie expected. according to a statement
from Superintendent NJ. d. Chittenden
last evening, the plans will be completed
for transfer in about 10 days, so that
the new rooms can be occupied by Mon
day, September %.
The Red Cross organization. which has
occupied the rooms to be taken over by
the Junior high school, will remove its
activities to the Howard Relief hall.
where it will have rooms on the side ito
ward Clarke street. The work of the
Red Cross has grown 80 much lighter
since the close of the war, and now that
rehabilitation is nearly complete it can
we'll afford to move into smaller quarters.
Much of the equipment which the Red
Gross has on hand at its rooms on Main
street will be disposed of, and the rooms
will be vacated at once.

NO CASES READY
Jurymen in County Court Excused
Until October

1t looked something like a general strike
of the honored gentlemen nf the YER
mont bar in Chittenden county court Tues
day, when Judge Zed s. Stanton, OPEN
ing court Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock. after the recess from last week,
and with the petit Jurymen on hand
ready for business. was unable to find
a single one of the 90 cases on the jury
calendar which the lawyers were ready
to try.
After the jurymen had been sworn in and
were waiting for business to commence.
Judge Stanton called for the case of Cora
e. Ryan against Orient Insurance COM
pany. ct al, the first contest set for trial.
The attorneys in the case, V. A. Billiard
and r. e. Brown. asked that 1t lose it's
place on the calendar. Judge Stanton pro-
ceeded through the entire calendar with
no better results. and finally told the
jurymen that those who could get to
their homes last night might go at once.
and that they need not report back for
duty until Tuesday, October 7, at two
o'clock in the afternoon. as no jury cases
were likely to be ready before that time.
The trouble with the postponement of
cases began when Attorney Rufus T..
Brown and Vernon A. Billiard announced
that they would not be able to bring up
for trial the jury cases in which they
we're concerned until week after next.
as. they were too busy this week to at
tend to the matter, and next week they
have to be in Grand Isle to take part in
a contested will case. AS these attorneys
figure prominently in several of the cases
which were near the head Of the Jury
docket. and as they asked that these
cases be passed. the court came to the
other cases. which were scheduled for
trial later much before the attorneys
in these cases had expected. and nobody
was ready. Attorney Martin s. Villas also
had several cases on the docket. and
since he was out of town yesterday,
nothing could be done about these cases.
During the course of the short session
OF court Tuesday. it was announced
| that the following cases had been settled
and discontinued F. S. Marvin VS.. r. f.
Thomas, tort: Henry Bellrose We. Elijah
T. Brewster, tort; and Paul Robinson vs..

ment was given the defendant at the re-
quest Of his counsel. NJ. G.. Leary.
