Under the Vinson bill, defeated in the House by a narrow margin by the inflationary Patman bill, veterans could Immediately cash their bonus certificates for the full face value. Its cost has estimated at more than either of the two other leading proposals.

Harrison's compromise would move the issuance date of the certificates back to the end of the war and cash their current redemption value. In the average case that would be $770 instead of $1,000.

Demand Is Met A SO percent cut In the fees it pays the city for the right to send elevated trains over the Brooklyn Bridge will be presented to the Board of Estimate tomorrow by the B.

M. T. in connection with plans for improving the Manhattan plaza of the bridge, it was learned today. If the city will make the cut, which amounts to $45,000 a year, the railroad is prepared to bear the ex pense of relocating its tracks and signal system when the elevated ex tension into City Hall Park is demolished, it has informed Plant and Structures Commissioner Frederick J. H.

Kracke. The city will have to pay the cost otherwise. The company's application for a reduction is based on a 75 percent drop in the number of elevated cars passing over the bridge since the present fee was fixed. Under its contract the company pays 10 cents for each car using the bridge, with a stipulated minimum payment of $250 a day. It proposed to continue to pay 10 cents a car but to reduce the minimum to $125 a day.

When the original contract was made the company sent upwards of 2,500 cars over the bridge daily. Now it sends less than 1.200. If the city agrees to the reduction, the elimination of the unsightly terminal which protrudes into City Hall Park will not cost the city one cent of taxpayers money. Otherwise about $200,000 would be required. Stocks Seesaw In Narrow Range Stock prices were alternately up and off today, the swings occurring in fairly rapid alternation.

Tenement House Commissioner Langdon W. Post spent some time this afternoon discussing this and three other housing proposals for New York City with Col. Horatio B.

Hackett, general manager of the Public Works Emergency Housing Corporation.
