Altho the report comes out for a two cent boost in fares, no mention is made of the underpaid and overwork- ed subway workers who have struck a number of times the last few years for higher pay. The payment of a $25,000 fee to Smith was severely criticized in a statement issued by former Mayor John F, Hylan, who declared that it} is a “criminal waste of public funds” to pay an “expert” from the west or! any other place $25,000 to make a report on the transit situation in an intent to put over an increased fare. “Berry comes out frankly for an increased fare,” he declared. “On the other hand Untermyer’s plan is lay- ing the foundation for an increased fare by an application to the federal courts.” Hylan continued: “This is all in keeping with the in- crease in car fare by the Smith Public} Service Commission in Buffalo, Al- bany, Cohoes, Rensselaer and Water- ville. Increased fares in those cities were put over while the newspapers were filled with the Lindbergh recep- tion. “Every other office during this re- ception was abandoned except the office of the Smith Public Service} Commission, which found it necessary to work at that time to decide a case for increased car fare that had been! before the commissioners for five months.” Wants Buses for 8th Ave. The board of estimate has been asked by officials of the Eighth Ave- nue Association to consent to the re- placement of the present 8th Ave. trolley line with modern buses.
