in various measures which afford
financial aid to the states but not to

The letter reads:
committee, organized to suggest bet

served the city, state and nation satis-
tactorily in the positions of chairman

I'VE point to Mr.. Curran as the man
for the Mayoralty because he is a
doer and not talker; fighter and not
a shirker.
I'VE urge the claims of MIR. Curran
on those who supported President
Harding, because all who voted for

consistent, vote for Mr.. Curran

More Power to Borough Chiefs
The powers and jurisdiction of the
borough presidents in all purely local
matters should be increased, the plat
form insists. The Department of Mar
kets and Weights and Measures, and
part of the functions of the License De-
partment, should be consolidated. Paw
ing and repaving of streets should be
placed In one department. Supervision
and inspection of construction of build
ings should be in one department.. All
inspection and supervision of tenement
houses should be done in one depart
ment. An legal work should be rendered
by the Corporation Counsel. with the ex-
ception of the legal adviser to the
Sheriff. All hospitals should be consol
dated under one jurisdiction, and all
street cleaning activities should be like
wise consolidated. The Department of
Finance should be limited to the work
OF auditing, paying and the work of ac-
countancy, it's various bureaus consol-
dated with the Office of City Chamber
lain; and an entire reorganization of
city financing, loans and sinking fund
methods should be made in accordance
with up-to-date business and banking
practices
"To all these principles and policies

opinion of traction experts this reduc-
tion would make it easy for the lines
not only to operate profitably on s.
cent fare, but to have sufficient sur
plus for maintenance and payment of
dividends
Tax Figures Cited
Figures on file with the Traction
Commission show that for the last
quarter of last year the companies paid
taxes aggregating S1,721 672, or at the
rate of almost $7,000,000 year. Five
kinds of tax charges are levied against
all transit lines. They are corporation
and income taxes paid to the state.
special franchise taxes paid to the
state, ordinary property taxes naid to
the city, dividend taxes paid to the
state and tolls or bridge rentals paid to
the city. The surface lines, in addition,
ray for the upkeep of pavements be-
tween and for two feet on either side
of the tracks.
In view Of the fact that the remis,
sion of these taxes would necessarily
have to be borne by taxpayers through
differences, the commission, it is
learned, will take the view that the
companies should accept the tighten
ing of their burdens to this extent as
equal to moderate increase in fares.
The term PERMISSION of taxes" is taken
to IMPLY that such an arrangement.
which could be obtained only through
Legislative action, would be temporary
in character.
Word has been received from Al
bany that the Governor desires that
the traction situation be kept out of
politics and that any announcement of
retention of the scent fare be made
with no thought Of influencing the
mayoralty election this fall. However,
it is asserted in political circles that
such an announcement would have the
effect of slencing Mayor Hylan and
his followers in their contention that
