We have | Publicly expressed our regret that f Your board did not seo fit to confer ; with us” Members of the Estimate Board F received quite a shock and a decided damper was put on the proceedings when it was learned from a reliable source that former Gov. Alfred B. Smith will present the chief argument fin favor of the Port Authority plan at the legislative hearing In Albany g next Tuosday. It was said that the = former Governor has been intrusted g With the all-important task of explain- ing the financial side’ of the Port © Authority scheme and that when he! has done so many of the Estimate) ; ‘Board claims that the Port Authority | ' will ruin New York City’s commerce | and industry and tax the people un- necessarily will be exploded. It 4s aiso believed that the former Gover- r will have a few words to say Tabout the Hylan administration's # claims that British interests are back | f of the Port Authority. | £ Great political significance is given { in City Hall to the announcement of | the Alfred E. Smith defense of the ' State terminal plan, It is interpreted f in several ways, One is that it will p cause a serious political break in Democratic ranks, with Hylan and) £ Hearst on one side and Smith and! Tammany forces on the other. An- other is that it means the scrapping fof whatever plans may have been afact for a coalition of Hearst and Tammany forces intended for the nomination of Hearst for United & States Senator and Smith for Gover- nor. Friends of the Governor say, | however, that he has not consulted | f Charlies FP. Murphy” the Tammany # leader concerning the.port fight, and § that Tammany is not taking sides. * Out of about a hundred attendants { at to-day’s hearing of the Board of * Estimate, but four persons ippe,red § as proponents. Three of them, only fone of whom would give @ name or 4 uddress, were subjected to sharp 4 cross-fires of questions by members ¢ of the Estimate Board as soon as they ; stood up to express their views. Dr. William H. Allen, representing a civic organization, and Dr. Henry W. Berg, representing a taxpayers’ or- ganization, although against the Tor: Authority, were heard. Dr. Alien said the city's plan should be ex- Plained more fully. Dr. Berg said it was the duty of the Estimate Board to show the public “the absolute horvor of the State's plan.” Mayor Hylan for the second time # asked if there were any persons in the ® chamber who favored the Port Au } thority. Three men and a woman # wtood up, C. L. Riker, who said he f Mved at No. 2555 Marion Avenue, } Fordham, was the first to be heard § He didn’t have an opportunity to say § much, many of his explanations being interrupted by rapid fire questions y shot at him by Estimate Board mem- } bers. But Mr. Riker held his own, He said be would rather see Jama- fica Bay converted into a great marine and summer playground for boating and yachting than developed solely as a port. The south shore of Staten Island was the proper site for @ port and terminal, he said. Mr. Riker did not favor the Port Author- its plan in its entirety, but thought the scheme too big for the city alone to handle. A man who refused to give his mame and a woman who said she represented the Women's Municpal League spoke in favor of the Port Authority. She also left without giv- ing her name. he fourth member of the quartet was not heard from. Mayor Hylan said there was a “Joker” in the Port Authority which ‘ gives that boty the power to acquire privately owned piers, water rn front with Edge Clamp that| holds the edge firma and vents sag; id | Breaking doamont the | spring.

He said the Port Authority legisiation will pass and be signed forthwith by Gov, Miller. “But the city can oppose the Port Authority's perpetuation by electing next year a Governor who will repre- | sent the city,” added the Comptroller. “The first duty of this new Goveenor would be to reduce the powers of the Authority— ‘t scrap it—because | it is an irremovable body.” | It was finally decided that the) Board of Estimate go to Albany In a! vody next Tuesday and oppose the Port Authority legislation at the pub- lic hearing. ‘The board will be ac- companied by staffs of engineers as| advisers. | a | FARMER'S SHOTGUN !
