5 CENT FARE HINTED
WITH UNIFIED LINES
Transit Commissions Remedy
Said Also to Include Uni
versal Transfers.

A preliminary review of the Transit
Commissions study of New York's tran
sit problem and its plan for the relief
of the situation. which has been ex-
pected for several weeks. will be made
public next week-probably Thursday
it was-learned yesterday
The remedy which the commission will
propose, 1t was understood. would pro-
vide for a unif1cation of all transit
lines. the Issuance of universal transfers
and the elaboration of basis upon
which the fare will be fixed. The COM
MISSIONS declaration, It Is expected. will
not make a fiat statement of what the
fare shall be. but will lay down a
proposition the analysis of which will
Indicate that a five cent fare Is suffi-
cient.
Transit Commissioners maintained
their usual silence regarding yesterday s
reports. and Chairman George McAneny
was at pains to say that any hazard at
what the commissions statement will
contain could be nothing more than
''guesswork" He declared that only
four men know what is in the report.
and he was sure none of them had
divulged the contents
The fact that the commission prob
ANY VIII wall uIlli dltcT primary udy
10 make public Its report was looked
upon by politicians as significant.
The commission is understood to be
desirous Of keeping transit affairs as
much out of politics as the Hylan ad-
ministration will permit. particularly In
view OF the fact that the Hylan-Hearst-
Tammany combination is expected to go
to the courts with a fight against any
thing that the commission might pro-
pose In order to keep Mayor Hylan adj
vertised as championing the rights of
the people against vested interests"
AS a matter Of fact. those protesting
to be familiar with what the Transit
Commissions report will contain were
outspokenly of the opinion that "the
vested interests" aren't going to like
the Transit Commissions plan for solv-
ing the transit problem nearly so well as
''the people" will like it.
