"The objection has been based upon
the fact that they have been both spend
ing and appropriating oficers too prone
TO combine their appropriating strength
for mutual advantage at the expense OF
the city. That Is true. But the same
objection attaches to the Mayors MEM
bership in the appropriating body, as
has been already indicated. The COM
mittee's proposal Is but the impartial
and logical application OF the principle
that would exclude the Borough Presi-
dents from the appropriating body. On
the other hand. 1t cannot justly be said
to disregard borough autonomy be-
cause the boroughs will continue TO elect
their presidents as executive officers and
in addition the members of the new
board are required to have a borough

1T has been said, however that the
plan would diffuse responsibility. Not
so. On the one hand 1t would withdraw
power from the State Legislature and
concentrate 1t and the accompanying re-
sponssbiiity in the new Board of Finance.
On the other hand, the plan would con-
centrate administrative responsibility on

CRITICISM ANSWERED

CENTERS RESPONSIBILITY
Proposed Board Of Finance
Would Receive Powers Taken
From Legislature.

Leonard Wallstein, associate counsel
of the Meyer committee, which last
week made its first Of a series Of re-
ports to the Charter Revision Commit
tee recommending an end to manda-
tory legislation in local affairs and a
separation of appropriating and spend
ing powers in the city government,
gave to THE NEW York HERALD yes
terday a statement answering criti-
cisms which have been advanced
against the committees suggestions.
Mr. Wallstein declared that nothing
like the Meyer committees report
ever emanated from an ''up-State"
committee, and that the program out
lined, which he predicted the Legis-
lature is ready to adopt, will give the
city the real home rule to which 1t is
entitled. He argued. however, that
the city government is not now in
position to take full advantage OF such
step. and said that for that reason
the reorganization Of the Board of
Estimate into an elective board of
control. with power TO appropriate
only, and the provision for consolida-
ton of departments was recommended.
Concession to Social Pride.
"The separation of powers proposed
by the committee has been questioned by
some as radical and by some as reac-
tionary," said Mr.. Wallstein. 1T IS
neither. For a long time 1t has hcen
recognized that the membership of the
Borough Presidents on the Board OF Es-
innate was indefensible in principle but
necessary concession to the local pride
OF the previously independent communal
ties that compose the greater city.
