WINS SSOO,OOO PLEA
IN BRONX PARKWAY.
Commission Must Get Money
From Estimate Board, Says
Justice Marsh.

Justice Marsh In the Supreme Court
yesterday, granted the application of the
Bronx Parkway Commission for writs
OF peremptory mandamus against the
Board of Estimates and Apportionment
directing it to appropriate about $500. 900
for work completed this year and for
that part of the estimate omitted from
the budget for 1923.
In overruling the defense of the city
that the commission was forced upon
the city without its consent. Justice
Marsh ruled 1T is now very late to raise
the objection that the approval was
given through a misunderstanding of
the exact situation"
He held that the matter is one for
legislative relief II the commission has
been extravagant or If the project is
costing more than tho city authorities
feel justified in expending.
"The city.s duty to furnish the funds
requested being mandatory" he added.
'it Is no: even defense to this pro-
ceeding that the budget has already
reached its constitutional limit. In that
event it Is the duty of the Board of
the items over which they have
discretionary control. Not even the
recently discovered liability to make
refunds for illegally collected bank taxes
can defeat the rights of the petitioner
(the connmission)."
