unanimous In its findings. as Judge
Davis fled dissenting opinion.
A temporary injunction has been
granted by the court restraining the
Public Utility Commission from enforc-
ing it's order OF July 21 last fixing the
maximum rate Of fare at z cents with
cents for each initial transfer. Under
the decision the car company must sell
four tickets for 80 cents or one ticket
for cents Transfers are / cent each.
The court provides that the company
shall give each rider O receipt for the
Increased fare. so that in the event that
the higher fare is not sustained on the
final hearing the excess may be re-
turned to the riders.
The theory of the court was that the
rate of fare allowed by the utility COM
mission actually results in confiscation
of property in violation of the fourteenth
amendment OF the Constitution. Judge
Davis maintained that the order OF the
commission was presumptively right and
should not be disturbed unless 1t clearly
appeared to be wrong.

WALLIS HEADS HYLAN
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
Ex Police Commissioner Be-

Frederick A. Wallis. an unsuccessful
candidate for the Coalition
nomination for Mayor, became chairman
of the Hylan general campaign commit
tee last night. Commissioner of Immi-
grafton at Ellis Island by appointment
of President Wilson, Mr.. Wallis will be

BUDGET DUE TO-DAY
FOR FURTHER CUTS
Estimate Board Will Face Fro
tests and Suggestions
From Public.

When the Board OF Estimate meets
to-day for a second public hearing on
the budget for 1922 it will be with sew
eral important decisions already made
as result of the protests and sugges-
tions made at the first hearing and that
is in spite of the fact. according to the
committee on non-partisan facts. that
there were present at that hearing only
one representative taxpayer and rent
payer for each 100000 in the budget
Those accomplishments are:
The $1s,o00.000 of school money ex-
pccted from the State, which at first had
not been counted in the budget total for
schools. will be placed in. and at the
same time it will be made clear that the
net for New York city's taxpayers Will
be $1S,000.000 less.
Comparisons giving total costs from
all sources, as well as from the budget.
will be issued.
Regular all year employees Of the De-
partment Of Plant and Structures. which
operates the ferries, buses and municipal
trolley lines, will be properly budgeted
instead of being Jumped together in
items for wages and temporary en-
ployees, as In the tentative budget.
The committee regards this last deci-
sion as important because the question
Of public ownership and operation OF
utilities Is central question in the cam
paign and should not be confused by
any preventable unclearness in the bud
set making"
In addition to the foregoing It was
made clear that the HyIan administra-
ton is not yet ready to risk its record

David Hirshfield. Commissioner Of Ac-
counts, who Is making some budget in
vestigations for the Mayor. announced
he has been able to find ways Of cut
ting at least s1.600.000 from the 1884,
100000 total. as now proposed. He added
that he expects to be able TO chop the
total down still further and. perhaps,
approximate the s4,500.000 which Comp
troller Charles l.. Craig said would have
to come out Of the budget before he
would approve it.
Despite the apparent determination OF
the Administration at first not to let
public education suffer in ary respect
as 1t did this year in making up the
budget. the budget as now fixed will not
be sufficient in number Of particulars,
especially as regards teaching Of Eng
lish to foreigners in evening classes,
according to a statement by Frances
Perkins, secretary Of the Council on I'm
migrant Education.
That statement points out that, while
provision is made for 76,154 sessions, or
about the same number as will have
been held by the end of this year. the
Appropriation for the remainder of this
year Is only $159.5s5, or about one-thfrd
OF the amount needed to run these
classes to the first Of next year. Further,
the statement points out. the classes have
been able to go ahead this far only
through transfer OF funds from other
evening elementary school items that
those items have been fixed in next years
budget at this years figure less the
transferred amounts, so there will re-
main no source from which to draw ad-
ditional funds to take care Of any in
crease over the anticipated 1922 at
tendance.
