"Nobody knows my position in
traction better than Mayor Hylan, uu
"frilj appear from our correspondence
toegtnning January, 1919," said Mr.
Untermyer.' "He knows that I hnvo
always been a consistent champion of
the S-cent fare, and I havo at all
times oponly and bittorly opposed the
traction interests." i
Mr. Untermyer referred to tn bar- 1
ometer fund as tho . "sliding: f-calo
fore" plan. In other .cities, such n
boston, where tho fare ia 10 cents, the
barometer plan Is a failure, life mild.
He 'nought the city should lend
any temporary deficits to tho com
panies rather than to exact higher
fares. He Bald It would be wlsur
to pay deficits out of general taxa
tion than to burden the faro payer
and' discourage him from moving to
traburbs and there building his own
.house.
Mr. Untermyer sustained the ex
isting contracts between the V R. T.
Company and the city which provido
tor A S-cent fare, and ho thought
cnftt was no good reason why those
contracts should be abrogated. The
Caw should be amended so as to per
mit the commission to take the
properties over by right of eminent
'lomalo. and If the present owners do
not consent to a fair price the trac
tion properties could be acquired by
coMcmnatlon.
Tbo municipal Government should
lio- independently represented for the
City's protection, Mr. Untermyer do
olared. and It should kbuvo tho right
to be beard and appeal to tbo courU
on ell questions of valuation. Four
questions to be considered are, ac
cording to Mr. Untermyer, these;
. Mow and by whom shall tho
properties be controlled and oper
ated T
"J. In what way shalU.tho new
maaoya, which will bo required for
extensions and ore naid to amount to
SE0.OOO.OOO or over, which tho city Is

"S. How Is the city's pretont Invest
meat of about $300,000,000 to be se
