One hundred and thirty-hve plain
feople and forty-nine plain Office
holders, including Mayor Hylan and
members Of the Board of Estimate, at
ended the second hearing in City Hall
yesterday afternoon on the Mayors
s6oo,o0oooO transit plan.
The attending representatives Of or
ganizations were unanimous in prais-
ing the Mayors plans, but many of
mem protested against proposed de-
tcrring OF subway building compre-
tended by the Mayors "order of con-
sfruction," which puts of the building
81 certain lines beyond the first five
year period
When the Ivy Republican Club, Of
ske 18th Assembly District, went on
sccord as indorsing the Mayors East
,sside subway plan, the Mayor broke in
With:
''There's one Republican organization
hat that little what s-his-name -
"Kurtz," said voice.
"Yes," resumed the Mayor, there's
one Republican organization that that
title auburn-haired pettifogger Kurtz,
who was here last week, does not rep
resent"
Whereat the audience gave the au-
yurn-haired ex-pettitogger from Bush
lex hand.
AssembEynaan Bloch Is Heard
Then along came Assemblyman
Maurice Bloch, member Of the Meyer
Investigating committee. who was in
.etrupted in his remarks by the Mayor,
asno wanted to know if Bloch had seen
,lything of Meyer (meaning Senator
sfeyer). .
Gle does not interest me-" said MT.
Bloch.
WELL" remarked the Mayor, wall
stein got $4,000 for his services, and I
vas wondering. what Meyer got for
ais."
Another ripple was caused when AS
5embiyman Bloch asserted that there
was small chance of relief for the peo-
PIE "as long as the Legislature of this
Late is going to be controlled by three
or four interests which control the gas,
the electric light and the streetcar cor
5orations of this city,,
You made a good statement, but 7
"iil bet" (and here the Mayor bent his
gaze on the Tribune reporter in the
Dull PEN in front of him) "that there
%iil not be one of the subsidized papers
hat will carry that statement"
ine Mayor redeemed and seemed sur
prised when he was informed bv the
tribune representative that The Trib
ale was unsubsidized and would print
Assemblyman Bloch's statement.
DO you represent subsidized news
paperT' demanded the Mayor,
NO. represent The New York
tribune" was the reply.
Il merely said no subsidized raner
will carry it."
\ assure you that what that gentle
man said will get into The Tribune -
said the Tribune man.
Wants Editorial Written
And hope The Tribune writes an
editorial on 1T; and If the people are
behind the City of New York the PEG
PIE VIII write an editorial on it," said
Assemblyman Bloch.
Just prior to this the nroceed;r,,s
were halted sufficiently for the Mayor
ana his associates to adopt resolution
authorizing the issuance of $4,000 in
revenue bonds TO pay the salaries Of
supervisors of Public Markets. The
tribune in series of articles recently
exposed the oppression OF pushcart
pvuolers by collectors who collected
81 week from each and turned mo
money into the city treasury.
