Shonts Urges Regulation and Ownership in Railways
Theodore P. Shonts, president of the New York Interborough Metropolitan Railway, told a Water Transportation session that regulation should not paralyze development but guide it. He warned against purely Commission operation and urged a square deal for railroads with rate freedom and government oversight, plus a deep waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Resolutions called for rapid deep-water channel construction and government support for transport by waterways.

Central Park seeks line equipment from Metropolitan receivers
In United States Circuit Court Judge Lacombe heard Central Park request the Metropolitan Street Railway and Central Park, North & East River Railroad receivers turn over equipment to operate Central Park lines. The company seeks rent from January 1 to August 5 totaling 96750 and the return of cash advanced when Metropolitan took over in 1892. Receivers claim all Central Park property and equipment were returned and hint at a counter claim over electrification of the 58th street crosstown lines. Decision reserved.

Westchester Electric Railway seeks new Mount Vernon franchise
Mount Vernon authorities plan to refuse the Westchester Electric Railway Company franchise renewal. The old grant required service to 128th Street Manhattan for a five cent fare, but passengers now stop at 233rd Street Bronx with a second five cent fare. The proposed franchise would run from Mount Vernon center to 129th Street for five cents, but would deny transfers from the other line, a joker in the deal.
