The project has had the almost unenimous support of the civic organi- wations which have concerned them- selves with the problem of traffic con- gestion, ‘More than 30 of them have indorsed it, while only two oppose it. It is largely through the pressure brought to bear on the Board of Estimate through the representatives of tions that the project is horization as it seems to be. The representatives of various organi- zations were insistent enough to annoy Mayor Walker, who accused Miller of ! “steaming up” propaganda in_support of his plan. Mayor Walker, however, gradually grew to like the plan, and finally committed himself rather en- thysiastically in favor of it. The combination of civie bodies ef-| fected by the Board of Trade to make a united fight for traffic relief along the lines of the famous “say-it-with- shovels” campaign, which compelled Mayor Hylan four years ago to start digging the Eighth avenue subway, has | become a new factor. The possibility | of a citizens' uprising on traffic like | the citizens’ uprising on subway is rec- ognized as one of the elements in the political situation. The chance that the traffic situation may become an overwhelmingly important issue in the coming election leaves politicians in a dilemma. It is generally admitted to| be political suicide for any office- seeker to desert the 5-cent fare. On the other hand, the city's financial | situation is such that it cannot raise money for ambitioys projects for traffic | g]iet without sacrificing the 5-cent re.
