P. For Graft Inquiry "Condition in New York Dragged Around Country in Hope of Concealing the Poverty and Inadequacy of Republican Leadership in'This State" Mayor Charges By NORMAN LUSTIG SinMng Fond Conumssion Pots Off Matter After Arguments Following the series of arguiuenU over the selection of a site to beuse'I as a central court house for the Municipal Court here, the Sinking Fund Commission to-day voted on the proposed choice of the Offerman building, but was unable to carry the resolution favoring that site. The Offerman building, at Fulton and Duffield streets, was preferred over two other sites by President-Justice Timothy A.

Leary of the Mu nicipal Court, who pointed out the several advantages obtaining there. Other Sites Urged Others pleaded that the Sinking Fund Commission select either the old Eagle building or the Ascntney building, at Willoughby and Lawrence streets, stressing the lower rent and favorab'e facilities as compared with the Offerman building. After a vote had been taken on Justice Leary's choice, Mayor Walker asked the jurist if he wished to select another building. Leary answered that he would need more time to 'inspect additional buildings before he could sjake 'another selection, se ttle meeting adjourned without a definite site being chosen at this. time.

It required four affirmative votes to carry the and three were obtained. Mayor Walker, Who declared that failure of' the-solution favoring the Ottoman building must not be held against the Sinking Fund Commission as a possibility for contributing to a continued rise in the number -of litigant eases in the Municipal Court, voted in favor of that building. Sees Waste sf Messy Comptroller Charles W. Berry and Aldermanic President Joseph Mc-Kee opposed it the latter asserting that it would be a waste of money to select the building in the face of the city's failure to provide quarters for the court in the new central court house here. Justice Leary was opposed by John Curtin, prominent lawyer, who spoke in favor of the Eagle building, and by various representatives of the Ascutney building owners.

Representatives of the Federal Bar Association and the Brooklyn Bar Association argued against the selection of the Eagle Building, with Assistant District Attorney Ralph F. Jacobs, in behalf of te latter group, urging that the Offerman Building be picked. Jacobs pointed ont that the Offer- man Building, despite its heavier rent would fully justify 'its selection and thatctbe lighting and space there would be. more ample than at either of the two other buildings.

I test Suggest Consolidation of Departments Representatives of more than a score of civic and business organizations, led by ePter Grimm, president of the Real Estate Board of New York, will appear 'at City Hall this afternoon in united opposition to the city budget of more than 5621,000,000 proposed for next year. They will submit to the Board of Estimate a table of recommendations designed te hew 120,307,622 from the 1031 figures, which, in themselves, represent the highest budget in the history of the city and an Increase of $51,000,000 over those for 1930. Their special committee, which includes civic and business representatives from all over the city, will demand that the Board of Estimate de lete the $26,000,000 from the proposed budget by consolidating various city departments that are said to be operating at too great a cost to the taxpayers any by eliminating other departments entirely. Other measures to be urged call for an increase in subway fares save during rush hours, a step calculated to make the new city "lines setf-mntaln- Ing; the private operation of city- owned ferry lines, cessation of free college education in city-owned Institu tions and that no pay Increases be allowed to city workers other than the raises that are mandatory under the civil service law.

The suggestions, which were originated by Edward P. Doyle, representing the Real Estate Board ot New York, have been approved by the various civic bodies and are considered the most drastic ever to be proferred to the Board of Estimate at budget time. They involve also the proposed abolition of the Bureau of Child Welfare, the Department of Public Markets and other city departments because of alleged waste and Inefficiency. Elimination of the Child Welfare Bureau, It is held, will result in a saving of $10,000,000 to the dtr. Urge Concentrated Buying The group, as another economical measure, will demand that the city follow tch practice of sound corporations in the purchase of supplies Together with abandoning pay increases for next year, this policy would effect an $8,000,000 saving.

Other recommendations involve the proposed reorganization of the. work of the Corporation Counsel, the Department of Sanitation and the Park Department which the civic groups would place under the direct supervi sion of a single commissioner in a central administrative office. The petitioners for a budget slash will also present to the Board of Estimate a criticism of the Delaney plan of subway financing and will demand that the $49,750,000 set aside for amortisation of the short-term bonds for rapid transit purposes be eliminated from the budget and that long-term bonds be substituted in the subway financing program.
