Forced to Take out Policies.

The order requiring bus owners to
take out So 900 insurance policies against
accidents was Of recent date and is the
outgrowth of court rulings to the effect
that persons hurt b. the buses cannot
recover damages from the city. The
premiums charged by the private lnsur-
ance companies amount to 5000 a year
for each bus or about 100000 in ALL
and the bus owners contend that by
forming mutual insurance plan tlfey
can save $4,000. but this is said TO be
meeting with the strongest kind of op-
position from officials of the Depart
ment OF Plant and Structures.
Mr.. Shepard said that he intended to
visit Mr.. Chilvers in company with a
number OF the bus owners whose COM
plants are OF the most serious charac-
ter and that these men would be pre-
pared to furnish names and specific in
stances to the special prosecutors staff
and to go before the Grand Jury AT any
time that II should desire to hear them.

Result of Meeting OF Owners.

The decision 10 lay these matters be-
fore the special prosecuting staff is said
to have originated Friday night at a
meeting of municipal bus owners in Mr..
Shepard's office at 154 Nassau street.
This meeting, according to Mr.. Shepard.
was called on the suggestion of bus own
ers that they would like to affiliate them
selves with the New York Auto Owners
Protective Association.
According to Mr.. Shepard about $50
bus owners signified their intention Of
attending this meeting and of bringing
others with them but news OF the meet
ing leaked to city officials, with the re-
suit that many persons were advised
unofficially to remain away from the
gathering.
Despite this, the lawyer says, more
than fifty showed up at the meeting and
told their tales of alleged graft and other
grievances The following day the bus
owners were questioned by city EN-
ployees as to whether they had been
present at this meeting. and all are un-
derstood to have denied having been
there. One man who was known to
have attended. however. was promptly
laid off.

GRIEVANCES NUMEROUS

Announcement was made yesterday py
BENJAMIN Shepard. counsel to the New
York Auto Owners Protective Associa-
zion that charges of graft and high
handed tactics in connection with the
operation of municipal buses will be laid
to-day before William Chilvers, one OF
the prosecutors assisting Charles ,.
Whitman in. his investigation into cases
of misconduct in public office.
The charges, according to Mr.. Shepard,
are largely to the effect that city en-
plovees have been extorting money from
owners of buses with promise to see
ing 10 II that they are assigned to prof
table routes and that owners after being
informed they were to be dispensed
with have succeeded in retaining their
privileges by payment Of graft
The bus owners are also said to COM
plain vigorously about the opposition OF
officials of the Department Of Plant and
Structures, which supervises the opera
tions of the bus lines, to an arrange
ment whereby they would be able to
form their own insurance system and
thereby save about 900 a year on the
premiums which they are now required
to pay for outside insurance against ac-
cident.
