John Fl. Delaney, Transit Construc-
tion Commissioner, wrote yesterday to
Lindley NJ. Garrison, receiver for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, to
enter his objections to the listing of
receivership expenses either as con-
struction or operating costs and par
ticularly to payments aggregating $780,

Commissioner Delaney's accountants
reported to him that the expenses of
the 3. II. T. receivership aggregated
S472,380 December 81 last. Of this
sum $274,035 was charged to the rapid
transit lines and the rest to the sur
face lines AS Commissioner Delaney's
jurisdiction ends with the rapid transit
lines his objections arc confined to
items in the s274035.
No objection is made by Commits
necessary and ordinary expenses Incl
dental to the construction and operat-
ing needs of the rapid transit lines of
the system. He takes the ground, how
ever, that the expenditures for the re-
ceivership are not necessary outlays
under the provisions of the operating
contract between the city and the New
York Municipal Railway Corporation,
which holds the lease for the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company and which has
turned over the operating rights to
the New York Consolidated Railroad
Company.
In the parcelling Of receivership ex-
penses charges totalling $i33,467 have
been assigned to the New York Con-
solidated Railroad Company as operat-
ing costs and $14O,567 to the New York
Municipal Railway Corporation as con-
struction costs. The city, by reason of
its rapid transit investment and it's in
terest in the revenues earned under the
provisions of Contract No. 4, is con-
cerned about these charges.
The city, as partner in the operat
ing contracts, is concerned directly
tion and operating companies, except
such as are under so-called Deduction
j. 6, which provides that the operat-
ing company shall be entitled to
preferential payment of s3,5oo,OOo per

In his letter to Receiver Garrison
Commissioner Delaney said:
"The Transit Construction Commits
sioner objects to such expenditures un-
der said Contract No. d, as unreason
able and improper, in that the said re-
ceivership expenses are not contem-
plated or provided for therein, or a
necessary part of the expenditures
Hereunder, except such part as may be
comparable with the expenditure which
would necessarily have been made had
such receivership not been established"

Bedtime Stories
Farmer Browns Boy Escapes
BY Thornton w. Burgess
When folly tbs for nc TO stay
I'm not ashamed to run nWay.
Farmer Browns Boy

Down from the tall tree in the slen-
der top of which Farmer Browns boy
was clinging climbed Mrs. Bear When
she had dropped TO the ground she
looked up and growled her deepest,
most grumbly, rumbly growl. Then
she shuffied straight over to the great
windfall, turning her head now and
then toward Farmer Browns boy and
throwing a growl of warning over her
shoulder.
When Mrs. Bear had changed her
mind up in that tree and had started
down instead of keeping on up, Old Man
trance to her bedroom under the great
windfall. But when she landed on the
ground Old Man Coyote was nowhere
to be seen. No one was to be seen.
That is, none of those who wear fur
was to be seen. Sammy.Jay and Blacky
the Grow were in nearby trees, but both
were silent. Eagerly they were watch
ing Mrs. Bear to see what she would do
next. But they were not watching any
more eagerly than was Farmer Browns
boy.
When Mrs. Bear reached the great
windfall she put her nose to the ground
where Old Man Coyote had stood When
her nose picked up the scent he had
left the hair on her shoulders and
along her back stood on end and made
her look bigger and fiercer than ever.
with a snarl of anger she rushed
around the end of the windfall as if
sne expected to find Old Man Coyote
hiding there. If she did she was dis
appointed. But he wasn't so far away
That he couldn't and didn't see all that
MIS-. MRS. Bear did, and. perhaps, after all,
this was all Mrs. Bear expected.

atterward I'll keep away from this part

Such temper!"
Mrs. Bear walked back and forth
back and forth in front of the great
windfall, growing and mutterinr to
herself, keeping an eye on the tree in
which was Farmer Browns bow. and
glaring suspiciously into the brush
where Old Man Coyote had disapneared
