being used for political purposes ware
made by Mayor Hylan and Comptroller
Cralg yesterday at the hearing on 1929
puogetary requests before the com
mittee of the whole of the Board of
Estlmate. Representatives of the library
declared that the institution had been
disseminated against in past appro-
prlauons and that residents of the citv
were denied positions in the library
system in favor of non-residents, who
were given preferred positions with
high salaries.
Among the library requests was
S2oo,ooo for the purchase of $4,000
books by the New York Public Library
and also a request for 100000 to re-
pair 10000 books.
The New York Public Library ~
comptroller Craig said, "sent out false
ana deceltful circulars last year at
tacklng the city administration at
budget making time. 1t was done for
used now"
When Miss Maude Malone, of the
library Employees Union, Informed
the board that New Workers were be-
ing dlscrlminated against in obtaining
positions in the library, Mayor Hylan
hlgh-class politics."
Comptroller Craig declared that the
question might resolve itself to
whether day laborers should be laid
oil or whether the funds asked for bv
the library should be granted. The
Comptroller said that the city could
strike from the pay rolls for thirty
days large number of per diem la
borers IN the city departments to raise
money to buy more books. 1t would
mean throwing out of employment such
men as plumbers, engineers, steam fit
ters, machinists and laborers, he said
Charles Stelzie, of the New York Fed
Grafton of Churches and a member of
the international Machinists' Union.
said the books were more important
If money was being wasted on per diem
employees.
Frank L. Polk, a trustee of the
library, denied that the library was
being used for political purposes. He
sald there was great need for more
books in the circulation departments.
He pointed out that the city of Chicago
had appropriated $240,O00 for the pur-
chase of books.
"The Illinois Legislature has not de-
pleted Chicago's treasury as ours did
without giving US an opportunity to
protest" commented the Mayor. "You
can't get money out of q stone. Man
datory legis lation is to blame"
Murray Hubert, President of the
Board of Aldermen, declared that re-
ductions would have to be made to
meet the requirements of mandatory
/ legislation. He said that the time may
come when the city will have to cut
hospital, charity institutions and
library funds for mandatory legisla-
| tion.
"We must see that the poor are fed"
interjected Mayor Hylan.
The Mayor ended the library hearing
by having the 1928 appropriations re-
quested for other than personal serv-
| ice granted. All other items, including
Miss Malone's charges, he said would
be investigated by the Commissioner of
Accounts. The budget hearings were
/ adjourned until next week.

SenseIess in Shaft
Enters Building Searching for
Fire and StumbIes Into
Elevator lift

Moaning with the pain of broken
leg and possible internal injuries, Pa
tro!man John j. Finnegan, thirty two
years old, of 229 Beach Eighty-third
Street, Hammels, L. l., attached to the
West Thirtieth Street station, was
found at the bottom of an elevator
shaft in the twelve-story loft building
at 1877 West Twenty sixth Street, BY
an employee Of the building, early yes
terday
The policeman at first could not ex-
plain how he had fallen down the
shaft, except to say that he had been
called 20 the building by man Sunday
afternoon, to hunt for a supposed fire.
Later, at the New York Hospital, to
which he was taken, Finnegan told
Detective Behan, of the West Thirtieth
Street station, that he had been told
of smoke issuing from the building.
He found one section Of a door lcadinr
to the elevator shaft open, apl stepped
through it without hesitation, believ-
ing that the elevator was at that floor.
He fell down the shaft and struck his
head on one of the concrete columns on
which the elevator bumper rests. he
said. After that he lost consciousness
until yesterday.
At the station it was said that Fin
negan's absence was not noticed be-
cause of the confusion arising from
murder on Tenth Avenue and Twenty
fourth Street on Sunday afternoon.
No record could be found of Finnegans
failure to report after for duty. 1t
was pointed out by other policemen
that he could have been murdered on
his post and his absence not noted.
An Investigation will be made to de-
termine whether any one was guilty of
negligence in not checking off Fin
negan. No call was received at the
station house from his home, although
he was off sixteen hours from p. m.
Sunday.
