Hedley Fights to Keep 10 R. T. Lines in City Control
Interborough president Frank Hedley tells the Board of Estimate that municipal ownership of the subway and elevated lines will not happen unless he can block it. He warns he will urge directors to hold on to control, arguing the city would impose on the people if the system is run by the city.
