HYLAN LINKS BUSES,
WATER POWER AND COAL
Sees Lessons to Be DroUn as
Result Of Mine Strike.

Mayor Hylan In statement last night
was minded to link up the coal strike
with water development and buses.
The interests" he said. the very
same men who control the coal mines
and the railroads. are developing the
substitute for fuel and already have
acquired most of the water power rights
In this country" In this State IL was
made easy by the Gibbs bill and the
Ferris constitutional amendment passed
last winter. If the State had developed
its water power rights as Ontario. Can
ada, has, there would be no emergency
from the coal and railroad strikes.
The Mayor drew another lesson, too.
Calling attention to the statement that
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
had only about five days supply OF fuel,
he said the emergency would not have
been as serious II a, Republican Legis-
lature had permitted the Hylan admin
istration to purchase motor buses. He
expressed the hope that the Legislature
would learn a lesson and accede to the
desire Of the city to be equipped against
such emergencies. tft

Receipt Of the letters. following village
election In which the designated candi-
date was defeated. and subsequent
movement for disincorporation literally
has set the villagers by their ears.
Things have been happening fast and
furious since the election two weeks
ago. Fred Ross. a brother Of George
Ross, Deputy Battalion Chief of the
New York city Fire Department. was
slated for election. The 500 citizens
went to the polls. and when the votes
were counted it was discovered C. l..
Potts. an unbidden candidate. had been
elected by eight votes. His name had
been written on the ballot
Hardly had the surprise OF Mr.. Potts's
election abated when from mysterious
sources there arose q demand for dis
irlcorporat ton of the village. Charges
were made that sthe $4,000 collected an
nually for taxes was not being properly
expended and that Mrs. De Peyster
Martin of $50 Park avenue. New York
city. the village president, was spending
entirely too much time at her home
in Newport. The movement grew to
such a point that a mass meeting was
held wednesday night and the trustees
were served with a demand for village
election on the question OF disincorpora-
tion. This they refused. Then along
came the letters which were signed
in red ink Imperial officer of
the Red Signal. X. X. K" The hand
writing of all the letters was identical
and the signature possessed such busi-
ncssllke appearance that shivers began
to run up and down the spines OF certain
prominent citizens.
The letter stated the village trustees.

and c. M. Otis, village clerk, think too
little and talk too much" No reference
was made to the demand for a special
election, but the letter went on to say !:
"Oh happy days. One more who would
rot be a citizen of -Tivoli in 1924"
Other sentences culled from the letter
were:
