The most complete analysis of the defects of the present City Admin- istration which the Republicans so far have been able to make was made Public last night at the regular meet- ing of the Republican Club in the form of a report by the Committee on City Affairs, of which Courtlandt Nicoll is Chairman. The report was received with prolonged applause and adopted by the club. Election of F. H. La Guardia as President of the Board of Aldermen and of Henry H. Curran as President of the Borough of Manhattan was urged by the committees as @ means of breaking up the solid Tammany) make-up of the Board of Estimate, and it was asserted that a moral issue had been raised by those who “would traffic jn judicial positions for purposes that wili not bear examination and use the judicial office to pay political, obligations.” As to the Board of Fsti-| mate as now constituted the report! stated: “Projects that cannot bear the light of day are passed by unanimous consent without examination—with- out public knowledge of their pur- pose or effect. This condition is fraught with danger to the city and cannot be permitted to continue without lasting harm to Its interests.” “INABILITY TO COPE WITH MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS.” Mayor Hylan deserves a rebuke at the polls, the report continues, because “he and his associates have shown total inability to cope with any mu- nicipal problem,” no move having been made with reference to the west side | Fatty flushed with a tiny flood of wreleg ict Pearls rey tracks, Jamaica Bay improvement mist Lort a and other important matters, As tu ey Ben 1 da lac halle pak tad Wey traction, “the plan would seem to be the tight-closed bud that half veils, half discloses its promised rosiness, to force all local railway companies into bankruptcy and to acquire and operate these ruined properties at the expense of the public. It has remained for Mayor Hylan and his associates to raise insolvency to the dignity of a settled municipal policy. “He has endeavored to use securt- ties for current expenses, and legal proceedings were necessary to re- strain this conversion in the effort to reward political adherents and personal retainers. He has violated the Cicil Service Law, with the en- forcement of which he ‘s charged.
