~ HARKNESS SCORES Va | MAYORS “FLOP ONSIBWAY PLANS ‘Now Blocks Brooklyn Lines He Once Advocated, Tran- sit Commissioner Says.’ ‘ Transit Commissioner Leroy T. Parknoss to-day made public extracts from letters written by John I, Hyls before he became Mayor, ‘to show,’ the Commissioner sald, “that his ap- proval changed to obstruction when these same improvements were backed by the Transit Commission. “In writing on Nov. 16, 1912,"" Com- M™issioner Harkness says, ‘as Presi @ent of the Allied Board of Trade and]. Waxpayers’ Association to Chairman Wilcox of the Public Service Com- tnission, Mr. Hylan satd: “*What we want in the Eastern District is the samo treatment granted to'every other section. We intend to continue to fight until proper recogni- tlon is given, Tho Greenpolnt-Bed- ford Avenue crosstown line will pay As soon as constructed. lyn Rapid Transit ts willing to put in money for an clovated structure over this route. Why not eliminate some of those lines running through farms and woodland in the Bronx at this time, save a few millions thereby, and put it with the sum the Brooklyn Rapid Transit is willing to spend to build a crosstown subway for the Eastern District?’ “The Transit Commission has been doing its utmost to get the cross town line for Brooklyn on a route in- finitely superior to anything hereto- fore proposed. The new line means everything in the way of modern transportation to Central Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Greenpoint. But, a8 was suid over a year ago by the Corporation Counsel, ‘anything com- {ng from the Transit Commission will be opposed.’ "’ “In another letter to Chairman Willcox on Dec. 8, 1912, Mr. Hylan said: “It is admitted the aristoc tion of Brooklyn—such as the downtown sections. fairly well cared for not finding fault with, member of the Pubile mission to show to the people Eastern District or to any other fair- minded citizen that the miillo people who reside east or nort Fulton Street, to Greenpoint and the Bushwick section, have received fair treatment by the commission in this so-called “dual” plan that we hear barped po much about.’ “The Flatbush, South Brooklyn, Borgugh Park and downtown sections will doubtless bo glad to know they are ‘aristocratic’ and will appreciate Mayor Hylan’s admission that, under the dual system contracts—in which nowadays he seems to find nothing good—they are ‘no doubt fairly well cared for." “But the dual system contracts did make one important provision for the Eastern District, namely, the 14th Street line. And now the completion of that line has been obstructed and delayed by Mayor Hylan and his as- nociates. So the two lines—1ith Street and crosstown—Mayor Hylan strongly advocated in 1912 for the re- Nef of the Eastern District are held up because ‘anything coming from the Transit Commission will be op- ‘posed. our October out the slightest expense oF obligation on your rt, If you are not more than after thi ¢ trial we will cheerfully take it back. $f PER MONTH if you decide to buy on our lib- eral deterred payment plan, eats eet Girl, 19, Kept Two Years Beaten Daily by Mother, She Says\ov.’,s30". ese ere The Brook-| 4 The Grand Prize UREKA VACUUM CLEANER $ ( 5 CASH Attachments $8.50 Don’t pay more for any elec- tric cleaner or sweeper until you have taken advantage of FREE TRIAL OFFER We will gladly let you try the supe-b new model EUREKA absolutely in venr own home.

The 42,000 barrels of cement manufactured in the United States in 1880 rose to 8,482,000 barrels in 1900 and finally passed the 100,000,000 mark in 1920. Its varied and different uses now number more than twelve hundred. The Lackawanna Railroad is interested in cement both as a carrier and consumer. As a carrier, it transported in 1921 to and from points entirely on its own lines almost half a million tons of cement, both natural and Port- land. As a consumer and “mile for mile the most highly developed railroad in America,” it is constantly finding new and important uses for this valuable substance. Over 4,500,000 cubic feet of concrete (cement, sand and crushed stone) went into the gigantic Tunkhannock Viaduct 19 miles west of Scranton. Stations, train sheds, signal towers, bridges, culverts and even fence posts are only a few of many Lackawannaimprovements now being built of concrete.
