Mr.. Garrison declined to comment.
The Mayors letter said:
IT am informed that from the last of
August. 1920. to the last day of March,
1891. the total disbursements for strike
expenses made by the receivership on

203,778.67 were allocated as charged
against the New York Connecting Rail-
road Company, which Is the corporation
operating the system Of subway lines to
the New York Municipal Railway Cor
poration under subway contract No. 4.
Included in this total strike expense
is the sum OF s535,949.99 allocated to
the Brooklyn City Railroad Company,
which at the time of the strike (Sep-
tember and October. 1920. and since
those months) has not been in the hands
OF the receiver, but has been operating

The principal witnesses of the day
were Walter I. Edgerton. assistant SUI
pervising inspector; William III. Free
man, engineer of the bureau of equip
ment and operations and Fred w. Lin
ders chief accountant. all employees of
the Transit Commission. With these
men in the witness chair Mr.. Shearn de-
veloped the fact that the u. r. T. sub
way and elevated service will need 311
more steel cars to enable it to meet the
standard Of comfortable travel in nom

the rush periods as set up by Daniel l..

mission.
1t was the unqualified opinion OF the
experts examined that the present ac-
commodations are consistently made
quate" during the non-rush hours and
during the rush hours are not up to
maximum capacity.
Mr.. Edgerton testified that the COM

pany's 900 steel cars-the complete
equipment which II expects to have
within the next thirty days, including 26
new ones-should be increased to 1,211
to enable It to meet Mr.. Turner's stand
ard. Mr.. Shearn then, through reports
compiled by Mr.. Freeman, established
the fact that on the b. r. T. lines the
percentage Of cars temporarily out OF
service and in the shops has been run
ming as high as from 10 to 13 per cent
in certain months. This was In marked
contrast with the A per cent. average
claimed by the Interborough system.
1t was explained by Mr.. Menden, gen.
eral manager for the b. r. T. receiver,
that the high percentage of cars in the
shops had been due not to breakdowns
hut to the fact that new equipment was
being installed in many Of them. The
company last Monday owned 874 steel
cars and by June / this number was ex-
pected to be increased to 900.
Mr.. Edgerton explained his estimates
were based upon the assumption that
the 259 wooden cars which now operate
over certain of the lines running through
the Centre street loop are to be replaced
by steel cars. Additional daily car trips
requisite to realize the Turner stand
ards of service, the witness said. would
be 946 in the subway division and l93

Mr.. OBrien was present at Transit

sion, referred to the letter from the
Mayor. Mr.. O'Brien said:
I'VE all know the receiver Is respon-
sible to the court, but he is not beyond
criticism and IL this money has been
spent and issued to strikebreaker con-
Germs, detective agencies and all OF the
other things that go with the hiring OF

HYLAN BOARD AGAIN BLOCKS
WORKONSUBWAYCONTRACT

/ the Joslin contract, which Is for the
construction OF a section of the line
| from Meserole street to White street IN
Brooklyn, the last two blocks of which
would be an incline to what has been
planned as an elevator extension. The
Hylan administration Is against this
elevated construction and has peen
trying to have 1t changed. although the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company mas
declined to agree. The Joslin contrac'
was not before the board for considera-
ton, but it was brought in repeatedly
together with the fact that there did not
exist any means of getting the cars into
the Fourteenth street subway unless the
road went to the surface.
William c.. Fullen, assistant counse
of the commission, explained that plans
| would be ready within short time for
/ a ramp to take the cars in. but the
Mayor and the others continued to taiR
\ about 1t.
One member OF the delegation from
Williamsburg told of visit TO Chair
man McAneny to learn how the cars
were to get into the subway unless the
elevated extension was built. The
| Mayor replied
| That's part of their scheme part OF
their propaganda. You cant get any
thing out of that crowd. They run
| things their own way, in order to please
| some favorite contractor. We're going
/ TO give you a chance to get cars into
| the subway. We are going to put II
squarely up to the Transit Commission
| The Comptroller asked Mr.. Fullen
why various contracts had not been re-
advertised and then interrupted him In
his explanation by saying:
I'm not seeking political propaganda.
7 want hard, cold facts. Why didn't
| they readvertise these contracts?"
II know why" observed the Mayor
| TT was because they wanted to worl,
out their political ends"
Promises to Place Blame.
The Mayor got up and. addressing the
| audience. continued:
But you won't have any trouble
We're going to put the burden right
4 back where 1t belongs"
The Mayor read list of the contracts
| showing that several had been read
vertised by the commission. and pointed
out that not single one was on the
Fourteenth street line.
Edward Riegelmann, President OF
Brooklyn, began talking about the ele.
waited extension. saying:
I'VE want to observe the situation
well. The contracts can't be revised
/ if the people want relief. But, If the
railroad wants relief. they can be re-
yised."
1t was pointed out last night by man
conversant with rapid transit history
that on June 2S. 1920. the Mayor as a
member Of the Board of Estimate had
approved the rerouting of the Four
teenth street line in Brooklyn. which in.
cluded a description OF the proposed
elevated extension. and that ten days
later he had signed the document In
his individual capacity as Mayor, ac.
cording to law. Now he is insisting or
making the extension a subway, al.
though the B. r. 7. refuses to agree.

Mayor Hylan directed John p. O'Brien.
Corporation Counsel. yesterday, to make
"a special and exhaustive" investigation
Of certain expenditures by Lindley M.
Garrison. receiver of the b. r. T., In
connection with the strike on the Brook
iyn lines last year.
The investigation is to delve into the
receivers payments for strike protec-
tion. which, said the Mayor in letter
TO Mr.. O'Brien, aggregated s2,43s, ,307.0 .05
between August, 1927. al March, 1921.
Mr.. Hylan stated that the investigation
Is requested I'm connection with Mr.. Gar
rison's 30,000,000 suit against the city
and the inquiry into B. r. T. service.
The Mayor instructed Mr.. OBrien TO
report what steps. II any. the present
Transit Commission has taken to oppose
the enormous expenses OF Receiver Ga:-
rison"
At the office OF the Transit Commits
sion 1t was pointed out that that body
had nothing whatever to do with the
expenses of the receiver OF the b. r. T.
Mr. Garrison's bills are approved by the
Federal Court and, according to the
legal experts of the commission. the
only circumstance in which his expenses
might be a subject for its considera-
ton would be IL the B. r. T. went before
II pleading poverty as an excuse for
failure to obey orders of the commits
sion.
1t was noted that Mayor Hylan makes
no request for an investigation of the
amount paid to the detective agency OF

spector and friend Of Commissioner En-
right, whose agency specializes In tha,

fare. We are tired paying ten cents to
go two miles. It's game Of political
shuttlecock between the Mayor and the
Governor. We want action and we
want it quick"
The hot flush Of anger spread over
the Mayors brow. He stood up. shak-
ing finger at Donnelly.
"You were a Public Service Commits
sioner. weren't your he doomed.
IT was deputy under a most hon.
orable gentleman" replied Mr.. Donnelly

the Mayor.
1t was explained later by an expert
that this line had been laid aside by

When the Transit Commission re-
eltnled yesterday its investigation into
inadequate service on the subway and
elevated lines of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company. Clarence J. Shearn.
chief counsel for the commission, in
troduced in evidence startling figures
taken from the corporations own re-
ports to the commission.
1t was shown that for the last six
months Of the calendar year 1921 the
met corporate income Of the company
was s8.767.75s in excess of the re-
celpts for the corresponding period OF
the preceding year. For the six
months ended June 80. 1921, while
there was an increase In the number
of revenue passengers carried amount
ing to 11,191,757, as compared with
that period OF the preceding year,
there was a decrease Of 837,S35 in the
number OF car miles operated, and
during much Of tie time the company
was running from fifty to sixty fewer
cars daily than it ran the year before.
81 last there was an increase of about
27.000, 900 in the number of revenue pas
sengers carried and an increase OF abort
100000 in the number OF car miles
operated as compared with the Ike
period Of 1920.
In the month Of last July alone. IN
cuding the midsummer Coney Island
rush, there was an increase of 2,73S,1Oo
passengers carried as compared with the
preceding July, but the company for that
same month reported to the Transit
Commission that it was operating fif.y-
two fewer cars as its average daily
maximum as compared with July OF the
gear before.
Earnings Gain Steadily. !.
TO show that this deterioration OF
service was coincident with marked and
continuous improvement in The financ. al
condition OF the company. Mr.. Shearn
piaced in evidence a letter written under
