NE " YORK CITY
MOUNTING DEBT
IS DELVED INTO
(By The Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. 9.--Mayor Hy-
Ian was Intercepted for nearly
five hours today by the legislative
committee investigating his adj
ministration, but he disclaimed
responsibility for the enormous
increase in the city's debt since he
assumed office. He continually
reminded the committee that he
was not the financial officer of
tho city, and took the position that
he could not be expected to be
conversant with details of its fl
nancial problems.
Attacks Methods.
Prior to the interrogation, May
or Hylan read a lengthy state
ment in which he attacked the
methods of the committee, the
legislation which made 1t possible
and declared that department for

Mayor Hylan was told by form
err State Senator E. r, Brown,
committee counsel, that the citys
debt exceeded the constitutional
limit by 100000 for all pur-
poses other than docks and rapid
transit construction when he took
office New Years day. 1918, and
that this excess had swollen to
S12O,0O0,000 on January | of this
year. Over the same period,

New York City from $S42,0oO,0O0
in 1920 to s997.000,000 in 1921,
said to be the largest increase in
the city's history. Possibly, he
said. it was raised by his advice
and counsel; he did not know"
that he directed 1t.
what l want to get at is that
you advised and approved of this
valuation Mr.. Brown said.
Well, they raised it," replied
the mayor.
"In 1s21 1t was raised more than
800, 100000 over 1920,' comment
ed/Brown.

commission. the mayor was asked
many questions about the sinking
funds He said there were eight
such funds and that he got them
mixed up.

the payment of the city debit" he
was asked.

where there is some question as to
whether 1t Is sinking fund or
not" the mayor replied.
"Or whether it is sunk you

DON'T GET FORCE OF CURRENT
Simple Explanation Of Fact That Birds
Are Not Harmed by Contact With
Trolley Wire.

"If trolley wire is deadly to touch
how can the birds sit upon II and he
unharmed?' is question not lnfre-
Quently asked and much less frequent
ly answered in a satisfactory way.
1t is perfectly true that the trolley
wire carries an electric current strong
enough to kill not only small birds
hut human beings, but to do any harm
this current must pass through the
body of the bird or the person to the
ground. The connection of the body
with the ground need not be direct,
but 1t must exist in some way.
A person could sit on the trolley
wire just as safely as do the birds, but
II he should stretch out his hand and
touch another wire or an iron pipe
running directly or indirectly to the
ground, the full force of the current
would then pass through, or be ground.
ed, by the connection made by his
body. In the case of the birds there
is nothing to afford a ground connec-
ton. and they are in consequence un-
harmed, the electric current passing
through the wire under them as the
water would be passing through a
main on which person might be sit
ting.
