Addressing the chairman, Milo R. Maltie, Robert Moore, chairman of the of Delaware Democratic Jackson Heights, "You months ago, at the beginnig of present hear- There hope of any relief Why finding yet. make where the biggest number of consumers are concerned instead of prolonging this hearing into the Queens BorGas and Electric which mand the 2,000,000 serves 35,485 canNumers, I deconsumers that A temporary rate schedule be established now." McCoy Apologizes The chairman's reply was that every one sought action on the company that he himself particularly interested in and that the hearing would proceed along the present line when it is continued next Thursday.

Marked by a special plea on behalf of the Merchants' Association of New York for a reduction in rates to wholesale users of electricthe hearing opened with an spology to Mr. Maltbie by James J. McCoy of the Democratic Service League of Queens. At the previous hearing Mr. McCoy had charged the commission with accepting reports of the utility companies on their face value and without an independent check.

He was barred from further examination of witnesses, but after his apology was granted the right of cross-examination. During the inquiry into the affairs of the Queens Borough Gas and Electric with its vice president, James W. Carpenter, on the stand, Assistant Corporation Counsel Frank E. Carstarphen developed evidence showing that the company reduced rates two cents a thousand feet of gas to its affiliates in 1932 but made no reductions to its consumers. Affiliated companies, serving communities in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, 50 cents a thousand cubic feet, while consumers paid $1.30.

Demanding the reason for this, the Assistant Corporation Counsel said: "Is it not by any possible chance in order that the might show profits at the expense of the Queens Borough Gas and Electric Co. consumers?" "No, sir," Mr. Carpenter responded. "There are many elements involved, such as quantity purchased." The Assistant Corporation Counsel had already brought out that during the first four months of 1933 the Queens Borough Gas and Electric Co. had obtained only 31.5 percent of its revenue from the sale of 56 percent of its gas to other companies.

"It is evident," Mr. Carstarphen "that a large part of the concluded, Queens Gas and Electric property 1s used for the purpose of manufacturing gas for other companies and not, for consumers." Earlier in the questioning, Carstarphen quizzed Carpenter about the salary of E. L. Phillips, chairman of the board of the Queens Borough Gas and Electric Company. Carpenter said Phillips' had been $20,000 annually a sof Dec.

31, 1932, and on April 30 was at the same rate. Phillips' salary as of July 1, however, was $16,000 annualJy, the witness said. Carpenter declared he did not know the relation of the company and the E. L. Phillips, Company, headed by Phillips.

said he knew there was a contract between the two companies but was not familiar with the terms.

BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 1933 MI Urged Library Be Housed in Public School Nottingham Civics in Past Year Laid Groundwork for Novel Plan In sponsoring a plan to establish public library branches within the buildings or on the property of schools in semi-suburban areas, the Nottingham Association probably laid the groundwork in the civic season just closed for a general civic drive for needed library facilities on that basis, The organization's efforts have been directed chiefly toward securing such a library branch in Public School 193, Bedford Ave, and Avenue L. The community about this school has as its nearest library facilities the overtaxed, cramped branch at E. 17th St. and Kings Highway and the Flatbush branch at Linden Boulevard and Flatbush Ave.

Coolness from officials of the Brooklyn Public Library and general spirit of pessimism over the proposed amalgamation of school and library services has not reduced the Nottingham group's enthusiasm over the idea. To Resume Drive President William Kimberly of the association and President George Dyson Friou of the parents club in the local school are planning to resume their campaign in the Fall for either space in the school for library purposes or one of the Department of Education's portable school buildings to house the branch in a corner of the school grounds, Expectations are that a half dozen other borough communities complaining about insufficient library facilities will indorse the Nottingham plan, funds for new branch buildings not being available. Another important phase of the association's activity during the past Spring, Winter and Fall was its work to improve transit in the section, The service provided by the Ocean Ave. trolley came in for strong criticism, the line being described as "the ride to nowhere." Asked for Buses A proposal was made that the B. M.

T. be asked to consider replacing with buses the cars which operate on Rongers Ave. between Bergen St. and Farragut Road and on Ocean Ave. between Farragut Road and Emmons Ave.

No definite progress has been made in pushing this plan, but the association is still interested in seeing the trolleys removed to clear the center of the road of stanchions and improve it as a vehicular route to Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island. As a means of reducing noise and increasing street safety, the association has sought police aid in educating the average motorist to abandon the horn and accelerator and use his brakes more on approaching intersections. Urge Education Harry Weisberg, chairman of the special committee fighting the noise nuisance, has pointed out to the police in requesting their aid that education was responsible for the erection of "railroad crossing" signs so the engineer wouldn't have to blow his whistle at every intersection. Likewise, he pointed out, the police themselves have stopped directing traffic with whistles where they the shrill blasts are not necessary. The association issued a warning to local legislators to make provision for the protection of residential sections from an invasion of "modern saloons" in the guise of social clubs as soon as prohibition is repealed.

Springing up in purely residential districts under a zoning law weakness which permits the establishment of incorporated not operated for gain, these clubs are wont to sail liquor to all comers, regardless of their "club" status in the eyes of the law, it was charged. Prohibition agents, through periodic raids on such places, either wiped them out or kept them on the move, but the return of liquor will make necessary the provision of a substitute police body to protect the home districts, the legislators were told. Mineola Weighs Highway Safety Mineola, July 22-As a result of 20 accidents in two months, two of them fatal, the village night considered means of affording added protection along the Jericho Turnpike in the west en dof the village. A letter was read from Capt. Vincent Chimenti, ranking officer of the Third Precinct, commenting upon the situation of the street lamps in that section, Of the 29 telephone poles available along that stretch of highway, according to Captain Chimenti, only eight are provided with lights.

The board deferred action upon his proposal to equip every other pole with a street lamp, making a total of 15. Village Clerk J. Dwight Hunt was authorized to write home owners in that district to construct sidewalks within 30 days or have the village build them and levyq 8 tax owners of the property, on upon tain Clementi's suggestion, A report by Village Treasurer Vincent Horan showed that 63 percent of the years' taxes had already been received by the village.

Protested Changes Proposals made almost two years ago that the Avenue bus be rerouted east to either Utica Ave. or Knigs Highway were vigorously opposed by owners of property in the highly residential area east of Ocean Ave. The protests, voiced' at a referendum conducted by the Nottingham Association to gauge local opinion on the subject, came frob blocks on either side of Avenue M.

It was contended that bus traffic would have a detrimental effect on the home community and would give Avenue in particular a commercial thoroughfare aspect. Reports made to the Gravesend Chamber during the past few months concerning the effect of the recent renaming of Gravesend Ave. as McDonald Ave, indicate, according to Ambrose, that considerable embarrasment, if not actual damage to business and incomes, followed the redesignation of the historic thoroughfare. "Lawyers and doctors have suffered inconvenience and real estate people have been at a loss to rent thir properties. They can't even get people to come out to the place.

Why, people two block away from the street haven't even found out that it's been renamed and to most of us it's still Gravesend Ave. desptie the new street signs."
