They were: 1. That the ramp which would connect the subway with the be built east of City Line so that the present Grant Ave. station on the would be put underground. 2. That when the Fulton St.

elevated is demolished the portion along Pitkin Ave, from Manhattan Junction to Grant Ave, be left standing, rebuilt to carry steel car trains and with the pillars transplanted from the center of the street to the curb line. Otherwise the East New York men approved the board's plan heartily. City Court Justice Charies E. Russell led the speaking list, appearing for the 22d A. D.

Democratic Club. Judge Russell said that the end of Liberty Ave. where the ramp would be built under the present plan has been developed as a business section and that property is high, It would be more economical to remain under ground further east, he said, and come up on land beyond Grant Ave. He said his club approved a spur through Conduit Boulevard in a southeasterly direction and urged that the station on the new Liberty Ave. line which would be nearest Jamaica "L'-probably in the vicinity of Pennsylvania connected to the Alabama Ave.

Delaney explained that the board has not determined just where the Fulton St. trunk would cross Atlantic Ave. He said the latest thought had been to lay out the line to leave Fulton St. at Truxton, run along Norman St. and under private property to intersect Liberty Ave.

Will Notify Owners He said the board had learned that last ummer a real estate deal had claimed to have a map showing just what land and buildings were to be condemned and vas seeking to sell his claimed knowledge for fees. "Don't be misguided," said Delaney. "The route is not settled, and until we notify owners officially that propose to take their property there will be nothing definite." A.

W. Harrigan of the East End Community League and Judge Russell emphasized the need of retaining the Pitkin Avenue saying that it connects with the 14th St.Eastern line and should be continued for that service. Harrigan said that the pillars now in the street are a menace to traffic and that in the reconstruction they should be located at the curb line. Others who spoke were E. Becker, president of the Liberty Avenue Chamber of Commerce; Solomon Kochman, also of that body, and James McCue of the Highland Park Civic Association.

At the close of the hearing Chairman Delaney assured the delegation that their suggestions would be seriously considered by the board and its engineering staff.

London Brides Avoid Month Of February May Also Unpopular in England for Weddings -Few Dare Friday 13th London February 1930 proved extremely unpopular as a wedding month among London brides. The number of entries the registers of the chief register offices in London shows a great decline during the last two or three weeks, both in the number of people obtaining special licenses and those who publis. marriage The weeks immediately preceding Ash Wednesday (which falls this year on March 5) usually prove a busy time for registrars, for there is a widespread dislike Lent weddings even among people who do not arrange for a religious ceremony. May, too, is a month almost invariably spurned by bridal couples, for superstition probably clings more tenaciously to marriage celebrations than to any other institution. It is kept alive no less by those who defy it than by those who submit to it.

If the 13th of the month should chance to fall on a Friday, there are always certain fearless brides who insist on being married on that day. Others avoid it with equal care, and will not even give notice that day of their intention to marry. If Friday falls on any other date, the bride will often spend it in idleness rather than do trousseau shopping or make any other preparations on which Friday might have an evil influence. Perhaps the modern girl is inventing a new superstition regarding February. Grand Jury to Hear 20 on Pathe Blaze District Attorney Thomas C.

Mohammedans Protest Anti-Polygamy Law Belgrade--Mohammedans in Jugoslavia are protesting against the Government's decision to punish polygamy with prison.

Plan to Change Ruling Body of Unified Tubes To Give Private Interests More Directors to Ward Off 'Politics' In view of the criticisms of the proposed composition of the Board of Control set up by the Untermyer Unification bill for operation of the unified subways, a compromise plan has worked out which is designed beep, lessen the possibility of political The daminationid to have been evolved by lawyers connected with the interests involved, and is expected to be presented for consideration either during hearing on the measure before the Legislative committees at Albany tomorrow or immediately afterward, when Mayor Walker and advisors are scheduled to confer with the Republican Icaders. The plan provides for increasing the number of directors who shall represent private interests to a point where they will has numerically strong enough to act an effective balance against the inroads of politics. Under the present plan the directors representing private ital can never total more can than onethird of the number of directors appointed by the Mayor. Not a Vote Balance The new plan would provide that the proportion be increased to "not more than one-half." This does not mean, that there would be an equal of votes between those repI resenting the city and those sitting for the company. The bill provides that the Mayor, Controller, Aldermanic President and Chairman of the Board of Transportation shall be ex officno members with votes.

It is not proposed to change this, so the city would always have a majority of five, but the big increase in the number of men representing private capital, it is declared, would serve as a check upon any tendencies that might develop in the future for appointed directors to manage more in the interest of politics than service and economy. It is declared if the private capital representation is left as an extreme minority, the city will also And that the nominees of those interests will not be of the caliber that would be sent if their voices would be more effective. Private capital, it is declared, would tend to send men whose sole object would be to watch financial interests of their principals. On the other hand, if the private directors were to constitute a large group, it is declared, men of greater capacity who would take an interest in the administration of the job general, sent and the city would profit by a higher type of director. Would Act as Brake This sort of representation, it is asserted, would act as a brake on any drift toward politics in the administration of the lines, while it would not take away from the city the majority voice held to be due it because of the enormous preponderance of public money represented in the subways in comparison with the private investments involved.

The makeup of the Board of Control and the clause permitting the city to use tax moneys to meet deficits are the two points in the bill open to serious attack now. It is practically conceded that the tax clause must come out if the bill is to be successful and the city is not expected to fight its deletion. It is largely a matter of getting it out without any one "losing face." The Republicans don't want to touch it on the ground that it is a Democratic bill and they desire to avoid responsibility. The Democrats don't want to take it out for fear lic to which the 5-cent fare is a that portion of the New York pubwill cry that the city is deserting the nickel rate. Settlement of who shall bell this particular cat and a makeup of the Board of Control less open to criticism will be attempted at the conferences tomorrow after the hearing.

James L. Quackenbush, attorney for the I. R. has issued a statement in which he seeks two more years of delay in solving the New York transit muddle by a proposition that everything be held pending the passage of a constitutional amendment that would allow the city to place its credit behind the Board of Control.

"He is an excellent partner, and he could easily pass as a university graduate, for his vocabulary of approbation is limited to the adjectives and Any of the buds, with whom he has danced will you that he has a snappy line and is a swell dancer. "Meet him among the intellectuals and you encounter a different young man. He arrives at cocktail parties late and somewhat limp.

After two cocktails he is sufficiently revived to complain that there are too many parties; one never has 9 chance to see the people one cares for. "He circulates rapidly among the available celebrities. He is effusive, flattering and fluent. He is frivolous and amiably impudent.

Should the conversation take a serious turn, he listens politely for a few moments and slips off to another group. If absolutely necessary, he can utter a few words about Stravinsky, Picasso, Modigliani, or Proust. A very few words but enough to get by with." Woman Fails in Suit Over Gasoline Burns Riverhead, L.
