City officials’ have not responded, but Mr. Nixon says that if the city is not re-) Presented he will endeavor to have the railroad men put tn concrete form what “sacrifices” they will make tn exchange for a greater fare than five | cents, \ At a meeting of the Bronx Demo- cratic Committee last night Mr Nixon declared that he was not in favor of higher fares, but ghat he! didn’t want to discourage scapitay! from coming to New York, ‘Then he) said that the people couldn't be bun- coed into thinking that they can get | an eight-cent ser five cents, | “In three ye he, “we can | get the entire system on a basis of flexible fares, and I dict that if we can put traction compawes on| their feet the day will not be far off when we will have one than five cents and free transfe; While Mr. Nixon is endeavor- ing to discover, throngh Hylan, who owns the bus lines which are taking the place of the lines which have declared th are compelled to go out of busine because they can't high fares, another bus line will begin of at 8 o'clock to-morr ne} * ing to take the place of the Brooklyn | and North Kiver \oad Company | which bas announced that it will dis- continue service at midnight. This statement was made by Com- missioner of Plant and ‘Structures Grover Whalen, was given a fare of less Lew charge | « who permit yesterday by the Board Estimate to operate the line, Mr. Nixon, in his third letter to, the Mayor, advises him that he is violat- ing the law in permitting the buses to run. Positive denial was made to-day of recent rumors to the effect that Frank Hedley had ‘been offered ‘the Presidency of ghe Interborough Rail- road to succeed the late Theodore P, Soonts, A member of the Board of, Direc- tors, denying the recent report, said: “Mr. Hedley, whose able railroad management is. universally acknowl- edged, will remain right where he is to-day. No offer was made to him of the Presidency and none will be made. James L. Quackenbush, the attorney of the company, was offered the post but di d the offer.’ “Now the yacancy caused by Mr Shoats's death will not be filled for some time because the avuilable man has not matertalized. No realy bir} man would care to assume tie reins | of a& company which, it has been lutely forecasted, is on the brink of & receivership. ° aan BOY'S DEATH QUE TO RABIES.
