Syndicate Plans TO
BuyRichmond Light
And Railroad Go.
Is Formed to Purchase Com
Germ Run by Receiver for
Two Years; Sis, 900, 900
Said To Be Price Involved

j. II. Pardee, of 43 Exchange Place,
announced yesterday that syndicate
had been formed for the purchase of
the Richmond Light & Railroad Co.,
and that the deal probably would be
closed this week. Mr.. Pardee is head
Of the syndicate. The price Is said
to be $15,000,000.
The company has been In the hands
of a receiver for two years. 1t operates
twenty nine miles Of trolley lines on
Staten Island and has monopoly of
the commercial lighting and power
business there. It's main plant is on
Richmond Terrace, West New Brighton.
There is smaller one at Grassmere
Four trolley lines are operated by
the company. One connects South
Beach and Mariners Harbor. The Bulls
head line runs from Port Richmond
to Graniteville. The Castleton Avenue
line runs from the municipal ferry at
st. George through the interior Of the
island. The South Beach line con-
meets South and Midland beaches.
Two years ago, when the Mayor and
the Board Of Estimate refused to allow
the company to increase It's fare to
eight cents. it applied for a receiver,
end since then has been operated by
John Kuhn as receiver. The receiver
succeeded in getting ths sight-cent fare
by applying to Judge Chatheld, Of the
United States District Court, and since
then the trolley lines are said to have
been profitable. The power and light
business Of the company, it is said,
long has been paying proposition.
Until the controversy over fares
arose with the Mayor, the company
operated the line Of the Midland Rail
road Company. 1t discontinued service
in December, 1920, and for many
months the city has been operating
one-man trolley cars on this line. Un-
der city management the line is said
to show deficit,

Bus Monopoly
In Franchises.
halen's Fear
Commissioners Asserts That
McAneny's Suggestion Is
Part of Governors Plan
to End Control by City
Demands Relief Now
Transit Board Head Says
Court Probably Would
Grant Stay for Operation

Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of
Plant and Structures, took issue yester-
day with George McAneny, chairman Of
the Transit commission, in regard to
the latter's statement that the Board
Of Estimate had ample power to meet
ths present situation with respect to
bus lines. Chairman McAneny had
pointed out that tho board could issue
franchises to reputable bus owners and
operators, and that the Transit Com
mission would stand ready to grant
certificates Of convenience and neces-
sity, and thus tho whole proceeding and
remedy would be in compliance with
the law.
Commissioner Whalen does not say
that the board has not the power to
grant franchises, but declares that they
should not do 1t as matter of public
policy. He further says that the i'm
preston that Mr.. McAneny attempted
to convey that franchise could be
granted forthwith is in error, as 1t
would take two or three months to COM
ply with the provisions Of the city
charter In that respect.
The commissioner says that Chairman
McAneny is probably speaking for Gov
ernor Miller when he says that there
is no need either for further legislation
to permit the city to purchase and
operate busses, or for further appeals
to the courts. =
Fears Highway Monopoly
"Mr. McAneny's statement summed
up in very simple language means
this" said Commissioner Whalen, shat
Governor Miller's Transit Commission
is not In favor Of municipal ownership
and operation, but is In favor Of con-
tinuing the vicious practice of granting
to private individuals aNd corporations
monopolies Of public highways. The
people Of the City Of New York are
to-day suffering from the granting of
franchises to private corporations. The
Board Of Estimate has very properly
refused to grant bus franchises, hold
ing that this valuable source Of reve-
| nue. should at all times be retained for
the health, comfort, convenience and
profit Of the people. No matter how
favorable to the city might be the
provisions Of franchise as drawn, ex-
perience has shown that when the city
endeavors to enforce the terms, the
courts by some strange process Of rea-
soning have taken view adverse to
the city's interests.
"The municipality should not per-
nit itself through The Board Of Esti-
mate to further entangle the transit
situation by making indiscriminate
grants Of bus franchises. No public
body such. as the Transit Commission
