City Government
Scored by Young
Republican Club
Conduct of the Majority of
Estimate Board Called
Scandal; Waste and Lack
of Improvement Charged

The government of the city has fall
len to the lowest estate that it has
known since the Van Wyck administra-
ton, in the opinion of the committee
of the New York Young Republican
Club, which has been investigating city
affairs. 1t presented a preliminary re-
port to the club last night at a meeting
in Hotel Pennsylvania.
"The conduct of the majority Of the
members of the Board of Estimate at
its meetings. says the report, "has
been scandal of ever-increasing mag
nitude. Each meeting witnesses insults
heaped on representatives of the pub
lie who are unfortunate enough to have
business before the board.
zone may we'll inquire whether a
proper conception of public decency and
duty does not require that such charges
and counter charges as arc made in the
board should not be submitted to the
appropriate authorities for investiga
tlon and prosecution.
"Thc development of ihc port has
been arrested to a point where there is
actual danger of the loss of it's primacy.
The problem of garbage disposition
remains unsolved, while the cXtrava-
gance of waste and incompetency con-
tinues. Though appropriations for the
building of schools have been blatantly
proclaimed, the actual building thereof
remains still a mere promise. Thous-
ands of school children continue to be
denied the opportunity of an education.

House Action on Bonus
Is Expected Thursday
Republican Leaders Seek to
Break Combination of Demo
Gratis and Insurgents i'm Parry


WASHINGTON, May 25.-House
leaders were cup in the air" to-day
over the question of soldier relief leg
lslation.
With Democrats and about fifty Of
their own number attempting to block
immediate consideration, Republican
leaders started new move in the hone
OF breaking the combination.
Although Chairman Fordney of the
Ways and Means Committee announced
that he planned to call up the measure
thursday, there were indications Of a
possible change in the program
Instead of the effort to give the re-
lief bill the right of way by special
rule, Republicans fighting for the
bonus decided on other parliamentary
tactics and announced they would en-
deavor to get it before the House by
suspension of the rules
Democrats asserted they would put
up a solid front, and with the help Of
"insurgent' Republicans defeat the big
tax measure. They claimed that sup
porters of the bonus had failed to
obtain sufficient votes to give it the
right of way
While House leaders were fighting
behind the scenes Senator Sherman.
Republican, of Illinois. speaking in the
Senate, denounced the proposed legis-
lation cas- an attempt by the American
Legion to loot the Federal treasury"
New-York tribune., 1920-05-26

'The Tammany administration of
city government has shown decided
deterioration, notably in the Police De-
partment. While the rank and file Of
the force generally remains of the same
high character, it's direction has been
such as to destroy morale, to invite
inefticiency and political interference
and merit the forfeiture of public con-
fdence.
"Politics and personal pull appear to
be the guiding principles of the present
police administration. While the Mayor
and Police Commissioner prate of un-
precedented efficiency, violent crime is
rampant and goes unpunished.
your committee believes that it is
time there should be thorough re-
vision of the charter, with View to
cutting out useless positions and over
tapping authority, with their attendant
waste and expense to the public"
Schuyler NJ. Meyer, former Assembly
man, is chairman of the investigating
committee. He and his committee have
found that the two encourag ging fea-
lures Of the present city administra
tion are the presence of F. II. La
Guarda, as President of the Board Of
Alderman. and H. H. Curran, as Pres-
dent of the Borough of Manhattan.
