Transit Chairman Warns His

Charging that the Board of Esti-

one thing-the delay Of all new subway
construction for at least four or five
years Chairman George McAneny OF
the Transit Commission yesterday told
Mayor Hylan his present policy, If
carried out, would result in the dis
memberment of existing systems and
would earn for him the title of the
double fare Mayor"
This was only one of the countless
clashes which marked the special
meeting of the Board Of Estimate
called 20 consider the Brooklyn Cross
town subway feature Of the Transit
Commissions new subway plan, upon
which the board is required by law
to hold public hearings. The almost
four hours Of wrangling among the
members oil the Board of Estimate and
Chairman McAneny as we'll as the
Brooklyn representatives who appeared
to urge the plan resulted in no ap-
proach to an agreement and left the
city administration and the Transit
Commission as far apart as the poles
on their respective proposals for new
transit facilities.
Bitterness Manifested
Clashes between the members Of the
board and those who appeared in favor
of the Transit Commissions proposal
were almost continuous, but the ex-
changes became almost bitter when
Chairman McAneny insisted that ad-
herence to the administration's plan Of
approving only such contracts as pro-
vided for municipal operation must
necessarily delay all construction work
for four or five years. He based this
on the fact that no new line could be
operated Independently; that they must
connect somewhere with existing lines,
and that none of these could come un-

the matter. He Is alleged by the Itai-
ian, whose name police officials do
clined to divulge, to have demanded
$3.50 in exchange for immunity from
arrest and prosecution for violating
the prohibition laws.
The driver had only $50 on his per-
son, the complaint says, but agreed to
comply with the sergeant's demand
upon disposal of the wine. Noziglia
and Asklund are alleged to have accom-
panied him to an address in Coney

collected the sum they had asked.
The matter subsequently was brought
by the Italian to the attention of In
spector Daley and Commissioner Leach
and resulted in the suspension Satur-
day of the four men accused. Their
guns, shields and clubs were taken
away pending a hearing. The suspen-
sions were not made known until a

seemingly been established, was hailed
rs an augury Of peace between the two
bodies. In o very few minutes after
the session opened, however, it was evil
dent that the city administration and
the Transit Commission were as tight

himself proclaimed that the only
agreement possible between the two
was on the matter Of routes for the new
lines and did not extend to the ques-
tion of mode of operation or any Of the
other phases of the transit problem.

Several representatives Of Brooklyn
and Queens civic and business mems
organizations appeared to discuss the
route under consideration, and Of each
of these in turn the Mayor or Comp
troller Craig or some other member Of
the board demanded TO know where
they stood on municipal operation and
whether they would be content to see
the city pay for the construction of
these subways and permit private
corporation to take the profits of
operating them.
Robert Higbee, president of the
Queens Chamber of Commerce, declared
that municipal operation, in his opin-
ion, would prove to be the costliest
thing the city has ever gone into and
pointed to the handling of the Street
