Although the city executed a con-

failed to qualify in the last bids was
charged yesterday by F. III. La
Guardia, President of the Board of
Aldermen. IN q letter to Mayor Hylan.
That policy, according to La Guardia,
is losing money for the city at rate
of approximately s750.oo0 year, Is
laying the city liable to be sued by the
new contractor for loss Of profits, and
Is continuing for Rodgers & Hagerty
a monopoly which has lasted so long
as to become a disgrace"

Hagerty have held numerous other con-
tracts from Tammany officials of the
city. among them being that for the
excavation and foundation for the New
York County Court House. which was
the only one Of the court house contracts
that escaped cancellation as result of
the Lockwood exposures.
So strongly entrenched were Rodgers
& Hagerty in the Street Cleaning De-
partment, La Guardia said, that they
forced their rate up to the "exorbitant
figure" of $3.50 scow last year.
THE situation was so desperate at
that time," La Guardia's letter to the
Mayor recited. that we both C.a Guar
dia and Mayor Hylan) agreed that it
seemed strange that every time we
sought to reduce the expense of un-
loading these scows the Street Cleaning
Department seemed to fall down entirely
and did not give us the assistance which
we required in order to liberate the city
from this particular firm of contractors.
At that time you and I agreed that it
was imperative to arrange for municipal
operation of this work"
Being unable to throw out the lower

was accomplished by ignoring the new
contract.
La Guardia said that all that is neces

Riker's Island. In that connection La
Guardia said to the Mayor II have

that he Is the victim of subordinates

RAKES STEAMSHIP
Fort Morgan Loses Superstruc
ture in Collision Southeast
of Cape Hatteras.

The Norwegian steamship Fort Nor
gan is almost complete wreck as a re-
suit Of collision Saturday night with
an unidentified sailing vessel about sixty
miles south-southeast Of Cape Hatteras
The Fort Morgan's superstructure looked
as though it had been through an ex-
plosion. Her bridge, mainmast, funne
and chart house were in a heap on deck
and according to John l.. Hall, Sandy
Hook pilot, she was the most desolate
looking craft that ever passed Ambrose
Channel lightship.
Capt. Erllng Hervig. the vessels skip
per, who with the rest of her officers
and crew escaped uninjured in the crash,
said the ship that smashed into his boat
carried no lights. He told the port au-
thorites also that she drew away imme-
diately after the smash and failed to
answer signals. Only the facts that she
was a sailing vessel and had fiddle
bow and high pointing bowsprit saved
the Fort Morgan from being sent to the
bottom. he said.
Capt. Hervig said his chief officer,
Marios Barstead, and two other men
were on watch at 8 o'clock Saturday
night when the collision occurred. The
sky was overcast. and as a storm seemed
imminent the Fort Morgan was being
pushed ahead at twelve knots to round
the Capt before 1t broke
A great black mass loomed suddenly
on the port quarter. Barstead grabbed
megaphone and yelled a warning. A
sailor could be seen running along the
sailing ships rail carrying a red lantern
apparently one that has been grabbed
up In one of the deck houses when the
steamer was seen ahead. Before Capt.
Hervlg and the others on board the Fort
Morgan could reach the deck the crash
occurred.
Almost overturned by the impact, the
Fort Morgan recovered in time to be
swept by the strangers bowsprit First
the bridge was moved down. The wheel
and chart houses went next. the men
in them narrowly missing death. The
funnel was cut Off flush with the deck
the next instant. Ventilators and all
else showing above deck was wrecked
before Capt. Hervig could come from
below.
The remainder of the trip from
Jamaica was covered with difficulty.
