SMASH MY SCHOOL FOES
HYLAN TELLS HIRSHFIELD

I'm view of the Shiny trail Of politics
left behind by the Governors 'Mire'
committee sent down here last spring TO
get Mayor Hylan by hook and crook,
IL would make Balaam's jackass laugh
TO listen to Gov Miller's talk about
Shiny trails of politics. and his invita-
tion to the members of the Real Estate
Board to get 10 Albany by the quickest
possible means to call halt to It,"
And. while he was at it, Commits
sioner Hirshfield threw in a few words
about some of the Mayors other pet
aversions. He said:
''Was there ever anything more Shiny
than the forcing through his automatic
ballbearing' Legislature last year the
subway ripper bill and substituting i'm
its place his transit commission, with
power to deprive the city of New York
Of its subways. costing the tax and rent
payers of the city of New York over
5000. 100000. and authorizing this same
commission TO purchase from the trac-
ton crowd with the tax and rent payers
moneys the old and dilapdated. useless
and worthless elevated and surface car
lines. and then hand over the same sub
ways. elevated and surface cars back
TO the same traction crowd. to be oper-
ated by them, free of all taxation?
"Was there ever a more Shiny game
OF politics played than Gov. Miller
Port Authority scheme. by which II Is
proposed to hand over to the Pennsyl-
vania and other railroads. free of all
taxation. the priceless waterfront OF
the city of New York, with It's docks
costing hundreds of millions of dollars,
and divert the commerce OF the city
Of New York to Newark Bay and the

sey meadows owned by these railroads.
