Referring to his own lines. he said
that there could be no squeezing of its

o-cent fare issue vanished before their

Governor Miller dealt specifically
with question which had caused con-
siderable speculation in replying to q
query as to whether there would be a
eadJustment of the contract between
tne Manhattan Elevated Railway and
tne !nterborough company under which
tne latter paid per cent dividend
on the $4,000, 900 stock of the former.
The Governor made no enthusiastic
promises concerning the immediate re-
suits to be expected from the plan
offered by his Transit Commission. A
sick person could not expect to start
walking his first day out of bed. the
Iovernor pointed out. He spoke hope
1ully. however, of the possibility of the
o-cent fare surviving.
The margin between the earnings to
be expected from an economical. co.
ordlnated system and what would be
necessary to keep the fare at 5 cents
was not large, he said and there was
ground to hope that it woald be over

Negotiations With Lines
To Take 4 or 5 Months

The plan of the Transit Commission
was described yesterday as being
self supporting and self-regulating
without adjustment of fares"
1t is estimated that negotiations with
the companies. including the series of
puollc hearings that will be held, will
take at least four or five months. EN-
phasis was placed yesterday on that
part of the plan that called for public
olscussions' The commission and the
companies representatives will spend
month in going over the plans "to
discuss in public with the companies
the terms of the plan and to obtain
thelr opinion of it and their attitude
toward it,"
These hearings will probably start
before then end of October. Thev viii
not await the completion of the valua-
tion Of the roads, which may not be
finished until the first of the year.
III there is any increase in fares be-
yond five cents there will be a CORE
sponding decrease in the percentage
ployees, the additional 3 per cent Of in
terest decreasing l per cent with each
cent raise in fares. An 9 cent fare
would wipe out the additional interest
entirely.
Chairman McAneny said that interest
on new construction would be paid out
OF the present earning plans, as there
was no probability that the new sys-
TENS will add materially to the burden
to be carried. The new lines SO far
established had produced more revenue
than had been contemplated when the
dual contracts were made, although
profits had been kept down by general
conditions
Mr.. McAneny said that the present
outline had been sent to the railroad
companies and the members of the
Board Of Estimate informallv. and tina
he did not know the attitude of the
railway heads with sufficient definite
ness to comment on it, Different
phases of the commissions plan will
be published from time to time, the
chairman said. the next one probably
being the building Of new lines.

fourth adjournment in the matter
,f the order that the marlborough
Panid Transit Corporation show cause
whv receiver should not be appointed
vas granted yesterday, when Judge
Julius n. Mayer, in the Federal Dis
.r;ct Court. postponed argument until
October o. The action was taken de-
snite the admission by james l.. Quack-
enbush, general counsel for the I. r. T.,
that the company. though unable to
meet the notes which have been pre-
sented for payment since their expira-
ton September I, expects to pay the
s1,So0,0OO rental payment on the Man
haitian Elevated lease, which falls due
to-day.
Both Mr. ,Quackenbush and Elijah N.
zoine. attorney for the Continental
Securities Company. the more active
of the two plaintiffs against the In
terborough. pointed to the report of
the Transit Commission to support
their respective pleas for and against
the adjournment.
THAT plan means the practial con-
fscaton of ali the rights of the stock
holders" Nj. Zolne declared. "Great
reliance has been placed on the COM
mission, and now it comes forward with
municipal ownership and various plans
which would mean. as they call it,
Squeezing out the stockholders.' You
cannot avoid a receiver under those
conditions; somebody will have to
straghten this matter out"
Mr.. Quackenbush pointed to the COM
missions intention o. basing its plans
upon a valuation as proof that the
noteholiers will be secured
mo valuation" he said, "can by any
possibility fail to find that the proceeds
OF these notes and of the per cent
bonds are at the service of the public
Every dollar has been put there unde er
the supervision of this commission or
It's predecessors. Consequently, the
plan does take care of the noteholders. "
In support Of his motion for an ad-
journment Mr.. Quackenbush said that
between the last postponement and the
opening OF business yesterday notes to
the amount of s372,500 have been de-
posted for extension, raising the total
SO deposited to s35,056,oO0 This is
ELL per cent of the total issue Of SSS,-
144,4O0
Furthermore. he said, "the holders
Of s2,214.600 OF the notes which have
not been turned in for extension have
failed to collect the interest which fell
due September /. This shows that
they are not in touch with their
brokers and have not had a chance to
deposit their notes.
Clarence H. Venner and his two con,
panies, the Continental Securities Com
pany and the General Investment Com
pany, are the only noteholders which
have gone to court to recover, and
notes for only s439.5oO have been pre-
sented for payment.
As for the Manhattan Elevated lease
ne pointed out that its cancellation
would involve long litigation, as tn.
Peterborough has spent about s23, 900,
goo for the construction OF third tracks

to the judgment OF certain bankers
the holders of the underlying bonds
of the traction properties would likely
come out OF their Investments intac.

the stocks would not fare we'll. and

reasoned that the weight it
gained every day would be
so small he could easily lift
that along with what he

But there came a day when
he couldn't lift the calf. The
