COBWEB TRANSIT
Is CURRAN'S IDEA
Borough President Believes
Belt I6pes Are City's
Transportation Need.

cobweb system of transportation
facilities was advocated yesterday by
Henry II. Curran. Borough President of
Manhattan. in an address at joint
luncheon OF several civic societies in the
Hotel Astor. arranged TO discuss city
planning. port development, housing and
other municipal problems. Mr.. Curran
contended that a sane solution of the
transportation problem also would solve
many Of the other city problems.
Mr. Curran was introduced as our
next best bet by Joseph Rowland Hunt.
president of the Municipal Art Society,
who acted as chairman. Tho Borough
President said he apologized for being
a member Of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment.
IF the burglars union could only
begin operating in the City Hall and
abstract the present Board of Estimate. -
he said, I'VE should give great thanks
to the burglars
Mr.. curran said that the city's transit
arteries have been for years mainly
north and south ''fhe result is" he
added. "a transportation system tina;
consists Of the hub of wheel--that Is,
lower Manhattan--withs pokes radiating

the Federal courts The result Is that
the companies affected are left free TO
impose any rate, subject only TO the re-
quirement OF rcasonableness. That con-
dition requires Immediate remedy.
Either the Legislature must pre-
scribe new rates or confer jurisdiction
over the subject on the commission re-
gardless of any statutory rate. If we
are to have a Public Service Commission
at all it should have complete jurisdic-
tlon over that subject Likewise it

Fix Their own Rates.
The eighty cent gas rate prescribed IN
New York by the Public Service Com
mission was held to be unconstitutional
AS a result the gas and lighting conf
panies have gone ahead fixing their new
rates and schedules and prescribing new
meter charges without restriction. In
Brooklyn. Queens and Tho Bronx these
higher rates have been charged without
any kind OF regulation or determination
by an Official body regarding their fair
ness. The people have to pay and have
no recourse
Under the Governors plan the new
Public Service Commission will take up
these rates and will have the authority
to force the companies to make rAduc-
tons. The bills now being prepared
win recommend specifically that the
upstate commission, which will handle
this problem. have full power 10 sus-
pend any rate believed to be extortlon-
ate.
1t is understood that the bills arc
being whipped rapidly into form. The
Governor. his counsel the bill drafting
bureau and stats of experts on every
question involved are working on the
measures. The Governor is going thor
oughly into every question which may
offer a possibility of litigation. When
Mr.. Miller gets through the leaders here
believe there will be no loopholes
through which the corporations can
climb into the courts.

COUNTY LEGISLATORS
DEBATE TRANSIT ISSUE
No Action to Be Taken Until
Bills Are knoun.

Although the members OF the Leglsla-
ture from New York county at their
weekly conference yesterday discussed
and made note of the growing sentiment
in favor OF Gov. Millers solution OF the
traction difficulties. they stuck TO their
determination to take no definite stand
or the matter until the bills have been
made public.
Thre three Senator'S and all the As
semblymen except Miss Marguerite l.,
Smith of the Nineteenth district were
present with their district leaders, and
for two hours discussed the traction and
other proposed legislation with Samuel
S. Koenig. the county leader.
The understanding. as expressed at
the conference. was that the bills. which
probably would be ready this week
would so clarity the Governors views
as to entirely disarm much OF the criti-
cisin directed against his plan.

scend upon Albany this week 10 make

peculiarly affected by the proposed

of New York are exerting every effort TO
procure the earliest possible completion
and operation of such rapid transit rail-

ton.

yesterday. On Friday night the Presi-
dent OF the Board of Aldermen in "A

The bomb" came from La Guardia's

1918 had approved the loan of $16.566, SEQ
TO the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company

was made through the War Finance Cor

special DcSpdtch 10 TIE NEW JOHN HEhhp'
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Feb. ).
Gov Miler's plan for reorsanizing
the Public Service Commission both
in New YorlA and the upstate dis
trict, provides not only for dealing
with the transit situation but also for
regulation Of gas. electric light and
telephone rates for the protection of
the public.
The far reaching Importance OF this
recommendations was overlooked in the
excitement which followed the first
discussion Of the traction problem, but
its consideration in the last day or
two has been a strong factor in the
reaction which has been brought about
in favor of the Governors plan.
There is no doubt a decided change
of sentiment has developed in the
last week both in Albany and New
York in connection with the Gov
errors policy. The survey of the sit
uation in the. Legislature made one
week ago by THE NEW YORK HERALD
indicated that the New York delega
ton of Senators and Assemblymcn
was lined up almost solidly against
the up State delegation. the latter be-
ing a unit in backing the administra-
ton programme With such a divi-
sion, 1t was indicated that the OPP
ponents of the plan might get some
thing like 20 votes of the 81 in the
Senate and 81 OF the $50 votes in the
Assembly.
HyIan-Tamm many Alone.
The break which has come in New
York in the last week as the Governors
plan has become clear TO the public
indicates that the Tamnany-Hylan COM
bination is left practically alone in the
oprosition Action taken By the NIngs
county. New York county and Queens
county members means that from six to
ten votes have gone over TO the majority
IN the senate and from fifteen TO twenty
in the Assembly.
The outlook now is that the public
service and transit bills Will pass both
houses by a clean cut two-thirds ma
jority. That figure is the estimate now
being made by the majority leaders IL
Is subject to revision. OF course. None
IS presumng to try to count noses before
the bills are presented for the actual
terms OF the measures may bring about
further shift in tho alignment. But X
the bills when offered next week comply
generally with the policy laid down by
the Governor in his MESA &c to the Leg
islature. the belief here is that the two
third majority estimate viii stand pretty
close to the final vote.
The New York members are particu-
larly interested in the Governors recon-
nncndations dealing with gas rates--the
thing they overlooked for many days.
They have found that to be fully 'as
important an issue with the voters in
their districts as tho transit question.
