The loop, which Is Included In the general franchise- granted the Brooklyn Bus Corporation for their 20 borough lines, has been assailed as unnecessary and dangerous by dwellers on three sides of the block.

Damage was Istght. Head, Attacks 4th Ave. Levy Fort Hamilton Civic PrrnifJent Aks City to Awumf Wjflfninjr Cot Hugh Napier, president of tha Fort Hamilton Community Council, today denounced the proposed 4ft percent assessment, to he levied against local property owners in connection with the widening of 4th Ave.

from 9M.h 8t. to 8hOTj Road 25 feet as "outrageous." Following the announcement yes terdny of Philip F. Farley, consulting engineer of the Borough President's of ice, that work on the 2S-year-old project would get under way this Spring, civic, leaders, whlla enthusiastic, were eager to learn how much of the abutting area would be charged with the cost of the improvement. According to Farley, gfl percent will be paid by the borough it larga and the remainder will be charged nofliriKr. tha lnral Iran "I do not see where it.

Is going to benefit the people In this seeton," Napier ssid. "It is going to benefit, auto owners all over the city, who will use 4th Ave. to reach Shore Road, and for that reason I cannot see why any of the cost should be nlaeed on their shoulders. "I feel certain that It. will not enhance values along 4th Ave.

Tha widening will ruin a great deal of property. To assess some of these people, now already sufficiently burdened with taxes and assessments, would be an outrage. Instead they should receive good valua for the property they are to lose) so that Improvements to what remains may be msde." No Clear Title A clear title tn the property along Ihe stretch In question was never given property owners, Napier added. Deeds from the old town of New Utrecht contained a provision allowing the future acquisition of 12' feet by the authorities In order lo widen the thoroughfare, he satd. "Up until some time ago I owned some property on 4lh Napier continued, "and I recall that I wag only given a clear title to 137H while tha lot was UO feet deep." Hamilton Chamber Satisfied Members of the Fort Hamilton Chamher of Commerce, of which William J.

Pape Is president, are satisfied with the assessment arrangements made by the Borough President's office. "While the matter was under consideration," Pape said, "we made It our business to find out what It was going to cost. That was a few years ago. "It was decided then that the entire amount would be charged against the local area, but that was more than we could see and so we fought the matter, with the result that an agreement was reached whereby the city would take 60 percent of the cost and property owners the remainder." Pape said the fight, wss led the late John Frost. Besides Frost, Robert Walsh and Pape carried tha fight to the Board of Estimate.

The widening Is to start at, tha Bn-year-nld St. Patrick's R. C. Church at 95th St. The church edlfire.

however, will not, be disturbed hy the work, as the structure, only recently erected. Is well within the line of the new afreet when completed. Other church property will not be affected. While a large number of old wooden dwellings, many of them very ancient, are scheduled to go with the start of work on the proj ect, most buildings on 4th Ave. be tween the points concerned are far enough back from the sidewalk to permit construction to go on without any great amount of property damage being necessary.

When asked by Lieutenant Osnato whv he had taken up robbing Ben-civcnta said he did it for "thrills." He is employed as a barker for a Coney Island concession, where police say he earns a fair, salary. He showed up for work after his morning Jaunts with his band.

Schanzer, in an address before the Kings Highway Democratic Club last night, denied rumors that he had at any time intended to split with the orthodox Democratic body on the immunity bills recently passed by the Legislature. "My attention has been called to statements that I said I would bolt the Democratic caucus on the immunity bills, and that I did not follow my original intent in actinig thereon," he said. 'Both of these statements are ab-solutly false. I never said that I would bolt the caucus.

Wtyat I did say was that I would favor the bills in caucus, but would vote with my party on them in the Assembly. "Nobody did, and nobody tried to dissuade me from this, my own considered course of conduct. I believe in the American system of party government, and I ask no one to vote for me at primary or election who expects me to bolt the caucus of my party." The practices of the Hofstader Committee making public details of local investigations, allegedly to the detriment of the target's character and the shame of his family, were assailed by Schansser as "un-American." "The committee was empowered to carry on these Investigations with the understanding that until actual guilt was discovered all sessions were to be private. Their promises to this end the members of the committee have not fulfilled. "Reputations have been blasted and live srulned merely through the publishing of stories that certain bank accounts were being checked.

No evidence of wrongdoing has been discovered, except in the case of a few pollcemn, a condition which has existed throughout the history of the city under Democratic, Republican and fusion governments. In the meanwhile cases of outright larceny go unchallenged in up-State cities." President J. Driscoll Tucker presided. Alderman Thomas O. Ryan, leader of the club, introduced Sheriff Aaron Jacoby.

That the nation in general and New York State In particular is on the eve of a fervent demonstration of dissatisfaction with the national government was the opinion of Jacoby. The need of this country today, declared the speaker, who will seek the nomination for Register next Tuesday, is aggressive leadership.

between Avenue and Banner Ave. and portions of sur rounding thoroughfares, preparatory to grading and paving the streets, will be protested today by representatives of the Brightonlawn Civic Association in an interview with Borough Engineer Philip Farley. Advices received from the Bor ough President's office, following the Initial complaint by President S.

Aslnng as a margin of one foot for a layer of earth was left between the sand and the level set for the walk Itself, the present filling ma terial is legal, Napoleon was informed.

Not Countenanced Use of sand for raising the grade of the street is not countenanced by the Bureau of Highways, however. Napoleon said yesterday: "Sand excavated from cellars and new foundations for Brighton Bach homer is being dumped, truck load after truckloud.

The hospital, which is situated at 48th St. and 10th has been handling its share of children suffering from the disease. They have been brought from Bay Ridge, Coney Island, South Brooklyn and Flatbush to receive treatment.

Prepares Serum In July, when the city was faced with a scrum shortage and the lives of many children dependent upon receiving prompt injections. Dr. Irv- Ung Sherman, blood specialist at the hospital, commenced preparation of the serum used in the war against the disease, concocting it from blood obtained from a carefully selected list of donors. About four weeks ago he deter mined to try the transfusion of whole blood from the cured infantile paralysis victims into the child suffering from the disease. Children so Injected responded much more quickly to the treatment than those receiving injections of the serum.

The hospital now has 18 cases of children so injected In its ward, with only one child out of the 18 still suffering from paralysis. Helps Bad Cases One child, brought to the hospital in a coma and suffering from hyperactive reflexes, in which the neck and spine are rigid, is now able to turn, move his body about at 'lll. and his head Is rapidly regaining its normal position. In still another case, a boy whose throat was paralyzed is now able to eat without difficulty and Is rapidly regaining the power to enunciate distinctly. With tie reticence which marks men of hie profession, Dr.

Sherman yesterday hesitated to pronounce the method which he bus evolved a success. We are delighted with the way In which these children have responded to the transfusions of blood as compared with thone receiving Injections of serum, he said, but it is Mill too early to make any forecasts about the part It will play In future treatments of poliomyelitis." Old Victims Help The blood transfusions are made (rom men and women who suffered from attacks of Infantile paralvsis during the epidemics of 1PM. 1922 and 1928. Each blood donor on the hospital's list has been carefully examined, and his blood thoroughly tested to be sure that lt Is free from other diseases. Every precaution Is taken to see that the donor keep In good health while his name remains on the hospital's list.

Boris Fingerhood, superintendent of United Isiael-Zlon Hospital, has announced that the institution can now take care of as many as 300 cases of infantile paralysis a month without any delay arising In the treatment by transfusion or the Injection of serum. Dr. Sherman believes that If serum therapy Is to be of real use In the medlral profession. It will be through use of whole blood trans fusions. The- United Israel-Zion Hospital I the only institution in the entire city using this new method.
