The Public Service Commission insists on obedience while the New York City and Metropolitan Street Railway receivers seek court permission to cut the Twenty eighth and Twenty ninth Street lines and the Central Park North and East River line from the system. If approved, transfers end across Fifty-ninth Street and major crosstown routes would be eliminated, reshaping Sixth Avenue to Fifty-third Street and Ninth Avenue bound services. The commission and receivers clash over obligations under franchise and public help, with potential court action looming.
