clared: "Tho city can provide moneys
for new construction as fast as the
work can be DONE"
He ridiculed the barometer fund and
other aspects OF the Transit Commfs-
sion's tentative plan Of rehabilitation.
or these Mr.. Craig said: THE transit
act purports to authorize the Transit
Commission to consent to notifications
of contracts demanded by the traction
companies. and. in the case Of the sur
face lines. to acquire title to the various
properties In the name OF the City OF
New York. and thereupon lease them
to their present owners. or their sue
cessors, tax exempt, for operation for
an indefinite period OF time.
"Under any plan. private operation.
with all of the vices and disgraces. with
the fragrant disregard of contract and
franchise obligations and indecent defi-
snce of public opinion. will be confirmed
and continued for at least two genera
tions, with the continuation of receiver
ships and judicial operation Of transit
lines"
The Comptroller closed with the sug-
gestion that the Board of Estimate s
future policy might be to refuse appro-
priations except for new subways built
for municipal ownership and operation.
Gov Miller, when informed of the
Comptroller's language. said:
"Of course the credit of the city can
not be pledged without the consent OF
the Board of Estimate. That Is true. |
suppose IL the board saw tit 1t could
block any extension OF service in so far
as the pledging OF the credit Of the
city should be required. That is re-
sponsibiIity which the gentlemen must
decide for themselves whether they de-
| sire to assume II or not
Nixon Urged Flexible Fare.
Senator Meyer declared that Lewis
Nixon, a perfectly good Tammany Dem
ocrat. when he was Transit Commits
sioner recommended in 1920 flexible
fare based on service for the transit
| lines and urged that fuller and more
definite powers be granted to the Transi
Commission. Senator Meyer said thu
plan submitted by Gov. Miller in 1872
differed little from that proposed by Mr.
Nixon in 1920. Either Gov. Smith die
not believe in 1t or did not have th'
courage to act on It," said he. "Bu
Gov Miller did have the courag ge to fac
the situation and I am glad to say thu
Legislature followed him."
Mr.. Turner described the urgent neet
! for new subway construction. He rec
commended his cooperative plan for dis
tributing the peak of the load durinI
rush hours by changing slightly hours
Of employment, and suggested tha
women should refrain from shopping
tours except between A. M. and 4:3
p. M. The engineer said much unneces
sary congestion was caused also b,
abuse Of the transfer privilege from
local to express service, the excessiv,
crowds at transfer stations impeding
| schedules.

seeks Broadened Powers.

"The correct way for Governor Miller
to break the deadlock would be by
legislation comforting upon the Board of
Estimate and Apportonment the rights
and powers properly belonging to it. IN
stead of comforting such powers upon
the Transit Commission and authoriz-
ing 1t In every manner possible to super
sede the Board of Estimate in the per-
formance Of purely local and municipal
duties. Has the deadlock been broken
by such legislation? Time will tell.
ut is not yet too late for Gov. Miller
to show his craftsmanship and at the
present session transfer all the powers
of the Transit Commission to the Board
Of Estimate and Apportionment"

new construction Comptroller Craig de-
