the entire population ol 'iedt
Neck, the writer has consented
TO run on an independent
ticket for the mayor Of y. y. city at
the coming election in November. NO
idea of any such a proposition had
entered my mind up to last Thursday
inclusive but on Thursday evening
the door bell rung for the 1st time in
mos and mos. and you VIII never guest
who was at the door il was Mr.. l.. Nj.
Graham one of our most prominent
citizens and chairman OF the house
holders welfare assn.
Mr.. l.. was Mr.. Graham's opening
remarks. on behalf Of the household
ers of Great Neck I hereupon ask and
demand that you allow the usages OF
your name as independent capdt-
date for the mayor Of New York.
appreciate the honor Mr.. Graham
was my reply. but person that don't
1.-Two in New York amt eligible for the
mayor of New York and in order for
me to become eligible it would be nee
essary for me to move TO New York
or in other wds. give up my residents
in Great Neck.
That suits us was Mr. Graham's
surprising reply. palpable slip OF
the tongue.
Well to make a short story out OF
it here l am a candidate for the mayor
Of the largest city in the world and
my campaign committee have asked
me to come out fiat footed at this time
and state my standing in regards to
the various civic problems which now
affronts us and which my rivals has
made the principal issue or the I'M
pending mayoralty.
To begin with leave us take the
question Of the subways. For the
benefit of out ot town readers l would
better eXclaim that New York is
mess Of tunnels in which is laid sub
ways in which to carry people to and
from their work and back. On acct. OF
all these tunnels being burrowed in
the ground. why, instead of naming
the different parts of town depart
ments or sections like in Paris, Lon
don and etc., why in New York they
call them burrows like the Burrow of
Manhattan and the Burrow Of the
Bronx. Out in the Far West they
have got a little animal which they.
call 1t q burrow, and when / first
come to New York though that the
Burrow Of Brooklyn was a nickname
for Mayor Hylan. but come to find out
it is Just what you half to go through
to get to Coney Island. Now my rivals
has made the promise that II elected.
they will start right in and burrow
some more SuDWayS. IerSonly am
VS.. the addition of any more subways
as 1t Is tough enough to find your
way around on the ones they have
all ready got.
have thought up a counter
scheme which 1t looks to me like
1t would kill two birds with one stone.
1t seems that another Of the ques-
tions before us Is the question of gar
bage disposal. My scheme would be
to stop running trains on two or three
of the present subway routes and you
would have plenty of room to store
garbage in the tunnels thus vacated.
AS far as the scent fare Is con-
cerned think it is probably o. X. to
charge a person that amt. the first
time they ride on the subway but
after all they amt much you can see
down there and after you have rode
on it once you have saw everything
they Is to see so would issue but
tons to be presented to people that
has took their first subway ride and
il 1t was nessary for them to ride on
the subway a second time they would
just half to show their button and
