New York Aug. 28—The New York traction situation involving hundreds cf millions, which for several vears has held the front of the stage in local fi- nasee and poiitics, today appeared to e appruaching s climax. A second suit seeking a recelvership for the Interborough Rapid Transit Cofn- pany was filed this afternoon in federal court, while the stock market was show- ng lll effcts of a prior suit of similar nature brought last Saturday. The sacond suit was filed by Clarence H. Vennsr, president of the Continental Securities Company, who aiso seeks a receivership for the Manbattan Railway Company, which operates elevated lines and is leased by the Interborough, op- erator of most of the city's subways. Saturday’s suit was brought by the Am- erican Brake, Shoe and Foundry Com pany. which in presenting its claim of $57.074.90 for supplies contended that the Interborough owed more than $3,000,000 i various concerns for equipment and materials which it was unable to pay The complaint today alleged that charges against the company exceeded curnings by $4.464.000 during the vear ended last June 30. The lease of the Manhattan Railway Company was large- Iv responsible for the Interborough’s fi- nameial plght. it said, advocating its abregation through receivership to pre- vent irretrievable disaster. The complaint declared the Interborough was carrying as assets aggregating $50,000,000 worth- Jess ftems sich as the stocks of defunct companies. Federal Judge Maver or- déred the company and the tity to ¥how cause next Thursday why a receiver should not- be appointed. Lue present city administration, which has fought all efforts of local traction companies (o obtain more than a five cent. fare, professed fo-see political sig- nificance in the receivership applications, Mayor Hylan said he believed there was some scheme behind the receiversaip actiens_to raise car fares to eight and possibly” ten cents.. He added that_the city was ready to take over the Tines and operate them for a five cent' fara. Municipal ownership he maintained, was the only solution of the problem. The five cent fare will be a plank in’ his platform for re-election and his oppo nents also have adopted the same stand. Bamkers conversant with Interborough affairs ‘announced that ‘more than half of the investors in the !$38,706,000 in notes of ‘the Interborough due Septem- ber 1 had agreed to extend them, in- creasing the interest from 7°to 3 per cent. The traction company stated st Sat- urday it hopes to avert receivership through extension of these notes. George A. McAneny, chairman' of the transit commission created by the legis- lature 1o study transportation here and | recommend means of rebabilitating the companies, said the commission had de- cided to take no action regarding the receivership applications. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company operating surface elevated and subway lines in Brooklyn with exterisions through Manhattan to. Queensborough, went in receivership in 1919, and that same year a receiver was appointed for the Wew York Railways Company operators - of trolleys in Manhattan, COUNCIL OF L. OF X.
