Curran Stands * or Fair Plav In All Boroughs Coalition Candidate Tells Women of Brooklyn, if Elected Mayor. He Will Give Time to Whole City Pledges Help to Transit Better Playgrounds a n d Home Hule Among the Reforms He Advocates Borough President Uv.-.ry :1. Cur ._,. Republican-Coalition candidate for \-_.,,,-, h an address last night before i ' Br( ?klyn women at 111" Remsen Street, Brooklyn, said thai if ! ho would be Mayor of all live borough.-, serving each to the full ex? tent of i. - power. He stressed tho need for improved transit facilities, better playgrounds and home rule. He declared that he favored some modl : form of borough government. Mr. ( urran was welcomed heartily, and hi3 speech was interrupted fre y by applause. He explained at the outset that he had been serving the city for ten years and realized that it was a city most difficult to manage. City"s Expenses Explained He called attention to the munici? pality's erpenditures. "We spend al? most 81,000,000 every twenty-four hours," he said, "and we want to get ouv money's worth. Tt means a go d deal to g< ' it, because if we do not- the result ? I be felt in every home. "If elected, I promise you all that I will be Mayor not only in the borough in which I live but will be equally Mayor of the five boroughs, and I wt-l report to you in Brooklyn as well as ?he other boroughs and te!! you of my administration." In commenting on the need for home rule in this city, the Borough Presi? dent said the city could n< '. afford to have two governments- -one in Albany and one in New York. He asserted thai the city should have greater pow? ers than it now possesses, particularly so far as transit matters are concerned The five cent fare, he declared, ia ; .::1h';< nt. Borough Unie Urged Mr. Curran declared he favored 01 i ? i form of borough government that would make the borough presidents o rectly respi nsibl ? . > to. ? bi r-'>>.< .. . Thero are fourteen city departments, he said, which in manj ways duplicate work, axid changes coul i be made to prevent such duplication. The Borough President deplored the numerous automobile accidents which ocur here, and added that increased playground facilities would reduce the number o?' such fatalities. "Wo have 100,000 children on part time in the schools, arid we have inade? quate playgrounds," he said. "All of this must be remedied." At the close of his speech Mr. Curran was adked many questions by the women. Mrs. Beatrice Stevenson, lender of the ? women, was chairman of the meetini;, and introducing Mr, Curran said that a change of city government was needed and that "we must have a man who knows the job."
