drifted to tae possibility of improving

Then Judge Shoarn said:

you in your negotiations with the
Manhattan Elevated people if it was
understood that the surplus that the

voted primarily to improving the SER

Mr.. Hedlcy replied: Il don't un-
dcrstand that all of that surplus has
got to be used. understand after
adequate service has been rendered
by the Intcrborough on the subway
division. if there is any money left
the company is entitled to it up to

cannot ue scparatcd-ono must he
considered in the same thought with
