CITY HALL WRECKS
TRANSIT SYSTEM
Administration Makes No Eff
fort at Cooperation, Says
DR.. Brush.
TAXPAYER IS SUFFERER
Most 'Heinous Sim Is Failure
to Permit an Increased
Fare.

The city administration in its transit
policy is "out-ShyIocking Shylock" at
the expense of the taxpayers and is
doing everything it can to wreck our
transit lines instead of cooperating to
make them successful" in the opinion
c5 Or. George W. Brush, chairman of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Conference
when that organization was in exist
ence. writing in the current issue of the
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Bulletin.
The Administrations most heinous sin,
according TO Dr. Brush, is failure TO
modify the city's contracts with the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company and
the New York Municipal Railway in or
der to allow an increased fare to place
the lines on a sound business basis and
provide an income sufficient to pay the
interest on the city's transit bonds. A
contributing offence, ne says, is the
Mayors bus lines competing with the
transit lines.
Under the dual contracts, he explains,
the city was Obligated to put up about
$3.50. 900, 900 for transit lines. and under
the same contract deductions from re-
CENTS to cover the interest on the city's
bonds and to provide q sinking fund
come last on the list OF deductions pro-
vided for. The result, DR.. Brush points
out, is that receipts failing to meet the
interest on the bonds, the taxpayers are
called upon to pay annually some $12,-
900, 900 or $4,000 that higher fare
would provide. and the 5000. 00C of
bonds stand as a charge against the
debt limit of the city. blocking the
financing Of school houses and other
public improvements. In addition. there
are approximately 5000 citizens who,
thinking whatever the city went into
must be d good investment. bought Sc
curities from which they do not receive
u return.
