publicly has denied any such intent on
the part OF that body. A board member
familiar with the status OF marlborough
and Manhattan Il" affairs said;
When our representatives 60 before
the commission next Wednesday they
will say to the Transit Commission in
substance, Gentlemen. IL you will aid
us and help to keep us out of the hands
OF a receiver, if you will be patient and
permit us to operate these roads as we'll
as we can within the limits of their
earning capacity, then we promise you
that within two and half years the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
will be in a position to pay to the city
the interest on its $300.000.000 invest
ment.'
Result Would BE ReceivershIp.. !.
But IL the commission. on the other
hand. should attempt to force us to a
standard of train and car service that
will cost more money than we have
got, il it tries to force us to spend
money for painting and cleaning and
lighting before we can afford to do it,
and they know very well we cannot af-
ford to-then we will simply go before
Judge Julius NJ. Mayer of the Federal
Circuit Court, throw up our hands and
ask the protection of a receivership.
There are not many things that
would be worse for the Interborough
than a receivership. But there are a
few, and one of the things that would
be worse would be to continue in
definitely mortgaging it's future under
the extortionate terms of the. Manhat-
tan Elevated lease. Another would be
to permit the company to be coerced
into participation in a municipalization
plan on terms that might be alike un-
profitable to the Interborough and to
the city.
Under the dual contract the city,
if it desires to. may take over title
to the roads in 1929 on certain prescribed
terms. Give us a chance and by 1923

the city will have something worth
| taking over. But press US too hard now
| and the commission can ruin u.s."
| Counsel to the Transit Commission
| have expressed the opinion that an
| Interborough receivership might involve
| years of tedious litigation. They do not
believe, however, thas It would be neces-
sarily q mortal wound to me commits
| sion's plan. OF reorganization All the
chairman, Mr.. McAneny. would say was
this
I'm it's present stage this Is an inter
company matter, and until the Tego-
tiations reported to have been ulnder-
taken (for the dissolution OF the Man
haitian Elevated lease) have beeh con
cluded and the results presented to- it
officially the Transit Commission
naturally will have. no conhment to
make"
How Pusiic wnI Befnent.
In an address before the Transporta-
tion Club Major-Gen. John +. O'Ryan.
member, Of the Transit Commission,
said. .bs .lsif W.
1T might as well be known now AS
at any other time that the plan is not
likely to go through unless lthe victims
CT present conditions, who constitute
he mass OF the. travelling public. rally
to it's support. This is true because the
plan. or some one or more ofsits feat
ures, is opposed both by the traction
interests and by the politicians of the
city.
Getting right down to brass tacks,
the great shortcomng of the plan Ia
that there is nothing in it for anybody
except the suffering public, and tho
suffering public is not organized-yet
The fundamental evil is this: The IN
terests OF the public demand safe and
comfortable service. The interests or
the company demand that the roads he
operated so that dividends shall he
paid. Their duty is to their stockhold-
ers and not to the public.
Here lies the fundamental evil which
the Transit Commission seeks to remove.
and the intent to eradicate this evil 10
the foundation stone OF our plan.
Tn q word, our plan proposes to take
over from the railroad companies al Of
their properties and to vest title to them
in the city, paying for them their honest
valuation as fixed by the Transit Com
mission, by the issue of bonds bearing
8 per cent. interest
1.-The roads are then to be operated in
the interests of the public by three
operating agencies. supervised by the
board of control OF the public corpora
ton. In this way we eliminate stock
speculation, also the incentive TO cur
tail service for gain. because there viii
be no stock upon which dividends are 10
be paid.
This is the fundamental principle of
the plan and one which, if made clear
to the public, am sure will win their
support.
