Coler and Metz Clash Over Transfers at Board Meeting
Borough President Coler and Controller Metz traded sharp remarks at the Board of Estimate and Apportionment meeting. Coler protested ungranted transfer requests that led to suspensions in sewer and public building offices, and disputed a statement from Metz's office as political. Metz denied authorship while Coler pressed that the statement still reflected on his office. Metz’s preliminary report criticized the transfers as extravagance and warned the Board against overextending a single account, placing responsibility on Coler for exhausting a year’s appropriation in ten months.

Winter Defines Through Route At Public Service Inquiry
Winter of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company testifies at the Public Service Commission inquiry on restoring transfers between the Metropolitan system and the Fifty-ninth Street Crosstown line. He says a through route requires a single car, and multi-car trips are not through routes, supporting the receivers’ strict interpretation. He calls transfer abuse a fraud and a burden on the carrier. General George H Harries of Washington Railway & Electric also testifies, noting past transfer abuse and questioning the practicality of the commission’s proposed zone system.

Old Brooklyn records reveal $67,407 paid to eight on Banker Street
Brooklyn officials uncovered three large cases of ancient city records showing that $67,407 was paid as awards to eight Banker Street residents for property never received or used by the city. Efforts will be made to recover the money if the recipients’ claim that the statute of limitations blocks the action fails. The records trace to a 1872 move to reroute Banker Street between Franklin and Union avenues, a plan that would have required cutting through several buildings. although the changes were authorized, they were not carried out and the property owners later obtained judgments.
