Nor was this all. While Marcus

he was ordering his second cup Of
black coffee, Frank Schwartz, who has

the southeast corner Of Thirty-seventh

City Bus System Is Expected
To Doom Surface Car Lines

If the hopes Of Mayor Hylan are
realized, the day is coming when sur
face cars in New York City will follow
the horsecar into oblivion.
With tie declaration that It was only
the beginning of city operation of
busses, Mayor Hylan yesterday led the
members of the Board of Estimate in
voting for Al appropriation Of $1,14o,-
900 to purchase two hundred motor
busses for the city to be run on routes
to be determined later.
The present municipal bus limos, es-
tablished primarily to take tho place
Of abandoned surface lines, are under
the supervision Of Commissioner
Grover A. Whalen, Of the Department
of Plant and Structures, but are pri-
vately operated. The new lines when
installed will place the city in direct
competition with the surface lines in
Manhattan, as we'll as in the other bor-
oughs, and as they increase and multi
ply are expected to spell the doom OF
the already embarrassed surface lines.
Mayor Hylan, as recently as the last
nearing VII tHc CIdCtAOu SlCudtIVu DC.
fore the Board of Estimate, Wednes-
day, declared the solution of the transit
problem lay in operating city busses
Instead Of surface cars, in conjunction
with the subway and elevated lines.
Statement by Whalen
Commissioner whalen. in a state

"When the buses arc placed in op-

car tracks arc eliminated from the
roadways It will completely revolution

"The policy Of the city in connection
with the operation of the bus system
by the Department Of Plant and Struc-
lures will be one Of courtesy and eff
cient service. It will also afford to the
City of New York an additional source
Of revenue which is much needed.

Mayor Asks Contractors,
Union Leaders and Real

Together on Big Program

Builders, real estate fnanciers, con-
tractors, building material dealers and
labor union officials will be invited by
Mayor Hylan to attend conference
to be held at City Hall on Monday to
discuss plans to solve the housing
problem
Aroused by the scarcity of houses
and apartments and by threats of land
lords to demand still higher rents, the
Mayor conferred yesterday with Ed
ward P. Doyle, representing the Real
Estate Board. Later the Mayor said
Mr.. Doyle had informed him that real
estate financiers were ready to put up
$5o,ooo,ooo to s1OO,o0o,ooO to start at
once building program to relieve the
situation. All the builders want. the
Mayor said, was assurance from the
building trades unions that strikes OF
other labor troubles would not interfere
with construction when it had been
begun.
Il hope to bring together all the
labor leaders, builders and others vi
tally interested in the program" said
the Mayor. II will ask them to como
to some agreement. However great
the difficulties, there must be some
solution. People must be housed.
Fixed Prices Sought
Il understand that the builders ask
that the building trades shall agree to
a fixed wage for stated period, prob
ably g. year or eighteen months, and
that in that period they will perform
100 per cent work. haven't the slight
est doubt that the union men will do
everything they can to relieve the
situation. s'
Great emergencies demand action,
1t would be futile to nave any more
protracted hearings on the housing
problem. Next Monday we ought to
emerge from our conference with n
fixed plan in mind"
The Mayor said he had not decided
who would be asked to the conference
Contractors are not doing any build
ing simply because Of uncertain con-
ditions ahead, including labor unrest

"If real estate investors can obtain
assurances that prices and wages will
remain fixed for a stated period we
will have the biggest building boom
in history" he said. "Within a wear
the tension will be relieved The city
needs 10000 new apartments every
year. The shortage now amounts to
several times that much"

to work wit hare facts which speak
plainly to the effect that in Turkey
alone there are IL million Mohamme.
dams to two million nominal Chris.
tians. In some of the foreign coun-
tries Christians are punished by death
and It requires much in the way OF
aid Of all sorts to enable missionaries
to get to these people. In the Malay
sian Island two million pagans will be-
come either Mohammedans or Chris
tians in two generations. Java has
about $4,000 converts.
Not only foreign missionary work
is imperative but home work also Is
needed. New York is said to be the
greatest mission field in the world and
all cities require Christian aid. Some
oyer-churching and under-churching
statistics show that: Thirty-six church
es within six miles were found in one
part of the country but no religious
advance was noticeable. Townships
adjoining were uncared for and 1000
were without religious influence. One
town of 1000 had only an occasional
service in ten years. Hundreds OF
towns lack churches and hundreds
lack regular preachers. All sorts OF
conditions over the world have been
reported and lists compiled by intel.
ligent people who understand the ur-
gent need for help at this period OF
the worlds career. 1t is felt by every
one connected with putting over the
campaign in this city that Fairmont
and surrounding towns will aid glad
ly. An excellent outline Of the worn
and how it shall be done is ready to
be put into practical application on
the morning of April 25th. Marion
county's share to be collected is $780,
