Smith, upproved by the Publlo Service Commission ut Its meeting yesterday, was mudo publlo by tho Commission toduy. The letter wus signed by Acting Chairman Travis 11.

Whitney and was transmitted to the Governor last night and received at his office today. It describes in detail the serious effort which the failure of the Board of Estimate to appropriate a sufficient sum to progress the-rapld transit will have upon that work as a whole. The letter also summarizes the difficulties with tho Controller's office In respect to tho settlement of claims of contractors. Tho letter then goes on to enumerate the duties of the P. S.

Tho Commission has completed and Is operating, It is stated, construction costing and there are outstanding contracts aggregating 180,000.000 undci which about one-fourth of tho work remains to bo done. In addition there is work aggregating over $25,000,000 not yet contracted fur but which Is eonstriictual obligation uf the dual contracts.

"Thero has." the letter continues, "been such a failure and a neglect of duty by tho Hoard of Estimate and Apportionment to recognize the good faith, credit and obligations controlling tho entire situation and to act in rc.sponso thereto or to advise or confer with the Commission In respect thereto, that the Commission considers tho present status so serious as to necessitate inviting thereto the attention of the Governor." The letter goes on to detail the various efforts of the Commission to get action by the Board of Estimate on tho Commission's requests for appro Celebration Committee, -which is arranging a monster welcome to the home-coming Brooklyn boys, wero strongly in favor of the idea. When the 27th Division went away it contained nearly 12,000 Brooklyn boys, including the 106th Brooklyn's Victory regiment, which led the entire division in the victorious smash against the Hindenburg line; the 106th F.

The proposition to close the Brooklyn Publlo Library and all nf lis branches on Sundays and holidays and give the trust ecs tlio right to nay at what hours during week days the pub-Ho shall have accesB to them, rauHed a rumpus at today's meeting of the Board of Estimate. Theodore Frothingham, chairman of the administration committee of the Public Library, offended Mayor Hylan by stating that the Mayor was not familiar with the subject. "You also have something to learn," retorted the Mayor, "There have been many complaints from the public library employees as to the treatment accorded them. I suppose you don't know anything about that?" "I do not," replied Mr. Frothingham.

"Don't you read the papers?" put in Borough President Dowling of Man-hattan. "I have read about It." "I don't pay much attention to what the newspupers say," responded Mr. Frothingham. "Not even the Brooklyn papers?" queried Mr, Dow-ling. "I have not Been a Brooklyn paper Tor three months," said Mr, Frothingham.

Mayor Boosts Brooklyn Papers. 'That shows that you have a great deal to learn." remarked the Mayor. President Dowling wanted to be informed If Mr. Frothingham really did not know that among the employees of the Brooklyn Public Library there was "a general kick about low salaries, unfair treatment and favoritism." "I have no knowledge of It," repeated Mr. Frothingham.

Miss T. Squires, representing the Library Employees Union, undertook to enlighten the Board on this point. "The reason Mr. Frothingham does not know anything about the complaints," she said, "is that they are made to the director. That is as far as they get.

The trustees are kept In ignorance of the grievances of their employees." "If I understand your'request correctly," said Controller Craig to Mr. Frothingham, "you want authority to open and close the libraries under the Jurisdiction of the Brooklyn Public Library as you see fit?" 'Would Have Trustees Decide. "Yes," said Mr. Frothingham, "that is the proposition. Under the Carnegie contract we were compelled to keep the libraries open from 9 a.m.

Mayor Hylan, who during the discussion had kept a watchful eyo on Mr. Frothingham, said: "The treatment of tho employees of the library is the sore spot." "Well," returned Mr. Frothingham, "I haven't heard of any sore spot." "You Hare Much to Learn." "You told mo a while ago that I had something to learn," tho Mayor went on. "It strikes me that you have a great deal to learn." A delegation of Brooklyn women, headed by Mrs. Gertrude B.

"They are very fond of books and regular visitors at tho branch library in our neighborhood. To close that library on Sundays would be a hardship to them as to thousands of others who have to work for a living."
