ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., Oct. 4.--Flexible

Service at cost with good board

declared Edward Dana. general man
ager Of the Boston elevated railway.
Tho system is simpler. he said, than

because "less time Is wasted in un-

Philip r. Gadsdcn, president OF the as

ing the best means OF consolidating
power and other services
The elimination of taxes and other
public charges would cut out about $5.-
100000. The s20.000.000 which the
companies together paid for power last
year may be reduced by something like
10 per cent.
Therefore deficiencies are not to be
piled on the city. as Mayor Hylan
charged. but are to be reduced TO vir-
tual vanishing point, 1t was said.
Against Mayor TIylan's idea OF the
plan, 1t was shown that instead Of guar
antecing to the Interborough profit OF
some SO, 10000 through preferentials, as
at present, the plan would eliminate
such a guarantee. The companies would
get merely the opportunity to earn i u
per cent. on their total capitalization
This would be a genuine spur to econ
omy instead of. as the Mayor charged.
creating q situation favorable to the
padding of operating expenses. II
was conceded that such earnings might
conceivaply amount to $4,000. 600 q year.
The Mayors charge that the commits
sion's recent statement was virtually q
fake" report and that another plan to
fleece the public is to be announced
later Is contradicted by the following
definite statement of the commission:
From the study and investigation al
ready made. however. 1t (the commits
sion) has reached certain definite con-
clusions as to the general form the plan
will take and as to tho principles that
will underlie It."
In addition to the denial that the COM
mission has taken the political situation
into consideration, It was pointed out
that under the law the commission can
carry out its plan regardless OF who Is
Mayor Of New York or who constitute
it's Board Of Estimate. Mayor Hylan
cannot prevent the transit adjustment
plan from going into effect just because
he has no substitute plan.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien issued
another statement which said in effect
that the only thing that can save the
city from ian eight cent fare imposed
by the Transit Commission" Ia the re-
election of Mayor Hylan. He indicated
that he will continue his present court
fight and institute others.
The Corporation Counsel added that
failure to keep Mayor Hylan and .
Democratic Board of Estimate In power
would mean also higher gas, electricity
and telephone rates at the hands Of the
Public Service Commission created by
the Republican Legislature. Tie Cor
poration Counsel did not refer to the
fact that the efforts Of the Hylan ad-
r1inistration to get such reductions
failed: that reductions have been made
only BY the Public Service Commission

that commission has increased rate.
