Decision was reserved yesterday by
the Transit Commission upon the appli-

to increase It's interest rate from Z to
per cent. The notes are held by more
than 5000 noteholders and there is

ed for conversion. The Joint protective
committee representing the holders of

the general opinion among bankers as

tension was hardly sufficient In view Of
present market conditions. The city,
through Corporation Counsel O'Brien.
entered formal objection 10 the appli-
cation being heard by the Transit Com
mission, holding that the commission
was without Jurisdiction to act on the
petition.
