For these reasons | hope that YOU
will agree with me to cooperate with
the Corporation Counsel to secure ar
immediate and complete adjudication
of the validity Of the acs Of 1921"
Mr.. M'Aneny's Reply
In response Mr.. McAneny wrote
"Your letter of the 22d inst, ad
dressed jointly to General O'Ryan, Mr.
Harkncss and myself, has been re
ceived.
"You may be assured that we are in
full agreement with your view that i,
any attack be made upon the constitu.
tonality of the act under which the
members of the Transit Commission
have been appointed, the issues raised
should be determined without unneces-
sary embarrassment to any one and
with the least possible delay"
Mr.. McAneny said last night that il
had definitely been decided that he
would be sworn in to-day with Leroy
T. Hardness and Major General John

Manhattan the instant the commits.

Corporation Counsel O'Brien said yes
terday. At the same time Comptroller
Craig is prepared to refuse to pay
out any of the city's money in response
to orders from the commission. The
Board of Estimate likewise will decline
to sanction any appropriation for trac-
ton purposes, thus forcing the new
commission to resort to mandamus.
The City's Purpose
"Our purpose in taking the case into
the court without an instant's delay is
to forestall any action by the new com
mlssloners that might bring irrctriev-
able hardship on the millions of pas
sengers carried on the various trans
portation systems" said Mr.. O'Br;en.
The commission has power. should il
care to exercise it, to order an in
crease in fares to eight or ten cents.
we mean to prevent a surprise at
tack, such as having the public awake
some morning without previous warn
ing to lace Increased fares Our suit
will contest the constitutionality of the
act under which the commission was
appointed. Meantime, we hope to OBJ

The revival or growth Of municipal

Lindsay He pointed to the diving ont
OF meaning in state boundaries and cited
the municipality as the one workable
unit for balancing what he called the
"over-Federalization" in the govern
ment of the United States.
