Van Sicklen Group In Victory Event Work of Lengthening 76 Platforms Completed, State Is Notified. Means Great Relief Increases Carrying Capacity by One-third.

The Boatd of Transportation has notified the State Transit Commission that ail the work lequired on the contracts for the lengthening of platfoims of forty stations of the system has been eoniplettd at a total cost of $1,106 840 60 The platfoims are now 680 feet long and available for the use of eight-car trains This will increase the carrying capacity of the system 83 1-3 per cent The forty stations embrace seventy-six platforms, to which a total of 3 186 feet was added in length. The fust content was for a group of six stations at Mvrtle avenue, DeKalb avenue Pacific street, Atlantic avenue, Seventh avenue and Court street The work on this group was started in March, 1936, at the contract piice of $368,841. The second contract was for a group of ten stations, which included Union atreet, Ninth street, Prospect avenue, Twenty-fifth, Forty-fifth, Fifty-third, Fifty-ninth, Bay Kidge avenue. Seventy-seventh and Eighty-aixth streets. Work on this group was started in April, 1926.

The contract price was $345,021 50. Final Group Contracts. The final group of twelve stations waa contracted for in November, 1926, and recently completed at a cost of $100,673.50 These stations were at Ninth avenue, Fort Hamilton parkway, Fiftieth. Fifty-fifth Seventy-first and Seventy-ninth streets, Fight enth avenue, Twentieth avenue, Bay Parkway, Twenty-fifth avenue, Bav Fiftieth street, and Queensboro Plaza There are sixty-four stations on the city-owned B. rapid transit system.

The other twenty-four stations have always been of sufficient length to accommodate eight-car trains. The stations on the Culver Line were built originally to accommodate eight-car trains, and although a city-owned structure, built for the modern steel type of subway cars, the B. M. T. Corporation has operated only company-owned cars over that branch of the system.

Included In the station lengthening contracts wss the construction of a new signal tower at DeKalb avenue and the demolition of the old tower on the end of the platform where the station has been lengthened The new signal tower has been tested out and for some time has operated tandem with the old tower. The tower has fifty-six electrically operated switch and signal levers, controlling traffic as far away as the Manhattan Bridge and the Montague street tunnel. Company Demurred, The original order to the Mew York Rapid Transit Corporation (B. M. T.

Corporation) to lengthen Its stations to accommodate eight-car trains was Issued by the State Transit 4 ommisslon In September, 1923. The company demurred tp the order, and protested that It had no force or equipment with which to do the work. The State Transit Cffmmla-tion (as then constituted) relieved the M. T. Company from Complying with the order, and In 1924 suggested to the newly created Board of Transportation, that an outside contractor be engaged by the city to lengthen the station platforms.

Board Tabes Action. Recognizing the urgency of the Increased facilities to be afforded to the traveling public, the Board of Transportation prepared plans and contracts, notified the State Transit Commission of Its action, and pointed out to the Commission that during the time the management of the B. M. T. Company waa publicly criticizing the city administration for not lengthening station platforms, the company was under orders of the State Commission to start the very Improvement which the company was charging the city administration with having failed to do.

Two hundred additional cars which were assembled at the Coney Island shops, have been added to the B. M. T. system. The company recently ordered 160 more cars When delivered, these cars in combination with the 200 new cars now In service, will enable to company to take full advantage of the Increased platform facilities by extending all trains to an eight-car length.

The authors of the Remus murder trial scenario have all but decided to eliminate two of Its most gripping scenes. So much footage has been wasted, that to-day, aa the trial entered Its fourth week, It appeared likely that George Remus would not testify In his own behalf and Frank-lin L. Dodge, would be on the witness stand only briefly, It at all. For weeks, Remus has tglked ot ths day when as a witness he would tell why ha shot and killed his wife, Imogene. He promised to say his wife was unfaithful and had conspired with Dodge to rob him of that fortune that spouted from the bootleg well.

Visitors Throng Ford Show Rooms To See New Auto Crowds continued unabated at all Ford show rooms Saturday and Sunday. Ths checked attendance rose to a total ot 350,000 at the eleven metropolitan show booms on Saturday, with 130,000 visiting the Broadway Ford office at 1710 Broadway, Manhattan. The police control force was increased to eight policemen on the sidewalk In front of the Ford Broadway show room. After theatre time the crowd grew so dense that It packed ten deep In front of the windows and at midnight throngs were literally fighting their way into tho show room. Some places stayed open all night.

The rush to place orders for tho new cars continued at high speed, with eight thousand orders taken Saturday in the metropolitan district. One Ford salesman made a thousand dollars commission on Saturday. Murray Kestr, Ford dealer at 86 East Broadway took fifty-three orders, receiving deposits of from $20 to $260. Ex-Mayor Hylan paid a visit to the Broadway show room with his chauffeur and bought a two-door sedan. The ex-Mayor said he Intended driving his Ford car to Florida this winter.

The shatterproof windshield glass, whiah Is an Innovation of the new Ford, was demonstrated during the day. In the presence of a large crowd, the glass was struck repeatedly with hard blows from a hammer, but refused to splinter. Motion pictures ot the new Ford's performance were shown all day Sat. urday and Sunday before packed show rooms at the Long Island City plant, Jackson boulevard and Honeywell avenue. The motion pictures showed the Fords racing over plowed fields and railroad ties at 60 miles an hour, with very little rocking of the body.

The future development of aviation in Nsw York Stato depends entirely on the action taken by New York City in the development of its airport. In the opinion of Frank Wadsworth, manager of the Industrial department of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce If New York City provides, within a reasonably short time, facilities commensurate with its size and importance, aviation in tho Empire State will boom immediately, he says As repiesentatlve of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce at the recent State-wide meeting of mayors and commercial secretaries held in Albany for the purpose of establishing a permanent aero conference group, he observed that up-State city heads tied up their air interests completely with those of New York City. If New York City, the centre of industry and population fails to take advantage of her potentialities as an air centre, the entire State will suffer, he asserts. The most significant feature of the conference as far as New York City is ccncerned, was tho discussion of the establishments of airports In up-State cities, among the mayors of the State, he says.

It was evident in the remarks of these up-Staters that a larger development of aviation in the State cannot possibly come until New York City has a municipal airport The entire State is marking time, waiting for us to lead the way From the statements of men who have already had experience In building municipal airports it would seem that the cost of purchasing the land for the field is the greatest single cost the municipality has to bear. This argument does not apply to New York City, he continues, The Mill Basin-Barren Island site, which Is backed by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, the Civio Council of Piooklyn and a hundred smaller civic bodies, Is owned part and parcel by the city Work could be started cn it immediately "Another point in favor of the Mill Basin Fite, and an advantage which is not shared by other proposed sites in Jamaica Bay, is the fact that It has direct connection to the mainland and a broad highway (Flatbush venue) leading right to the heart of th' city There would be no bridges and viaducts connecting with the mainland necte-ary, as is the case with Lat Budget for 1928 Before Aldermen The Board of Aldermen Is due today to meet to adopt the 1928 budget of $512,000 000 It 1 confidently believed that the budget will be adopted as It was received from the Board of Estimate without any deductions being made. The Board of Aldermen is empowered to reduce the budget but cannot Increase It. According to the records, the budget has not been cut by the Aider-men since the Mltchel administration. Alderman Ruth Pratt, Republican, of Manhattan, Is expected to voice the Republican disapproval of the budget and to plead with her colleagues to make reduction.

Permanent accommodations for the law school of St. Johns College are to be erected in a central Brooklyn location within two or three years, the Very Rev. John J. Cloonan, president of the college, told the students yesterday morning at their first annual communion breakfast.

Plans are well under way, he said, for a suitable building to house classrooms, a law library, gymnasium and swimming pool. The school now occupies rented quarters near Borough Hall Justice William F. Hagarty, of the Appellate Division, also a speaker at the breakfast, urged the need of more Supreme Court Justices In Kings. "More bulges must be added to Kings coiinty couits, and ths time is near at hand when they will be, he declared It Is false economy to attempt to carry on the work of the courts In the present fashion," the speaker continued. "There are now sixteen thousand untried cases before the Kings County courts.

Judges find themselves absolutely unable to give each litigant proper consideration. Frequently up-State judges have to be asked to assist In relieving the overcrowded calendar" Justice Hagarty gave the law students a number of hints to aid them to achieve success in their chosen profession, chief of which concerned the method of cross-examining witnesses and the arguing of appeals. Few lawyers know how to argue appeals," he said. "Frequently they waste the time of tjie judge wrom they argue by not stating the case properly. "Financial returns are seldom equal to the Work done bv the lawyer," he remarked, in reference to another matter "The wealthy lawyer Is the exception and not the rule The Rev.

Edward Walsh, Vice-president of St John's College, spoke In praise of the character of the men and women who are studying there for the bar The priesthood will never be Jealous of the high character of lawyers, he said, "though the two worn in parallel professions.

Dodd, District Attorney of Kings County and an alumnus of St. John's, gave some practical advice tq the future members of ths bar and urged them to have hlgn ideals In their work.

Mayor Janies Walker was being eagerly watched at City Hall to-day to see If he would act promptly on banniel Untrrmyei hint that the Conti oiler can be mandamused and compelled to peifoim that clerical duty According to Untermyer, special counsel for the Transit Commleston, the decision ot Justice Wasservogel In the mandamus suit to hold $13,000,000 for subway construction bond amortization out of the 1928 budget. Is a mere technicality, which the Board of Estimate can easily overcome. The Justice rules that the money could not be legally appropriated because Controller Berry did not certify to the amount Untermyer maintains that certification is an automatical mathematical computation" and that the Controller can be compelled to do It. Corporation Counsel George Nicholson waa due to-day to reveal whether or not he would tpke steps to appeal the Wasservogel decision. Tho Mayor Is also expected to comment.

According to Untermyer, the decision should bo no setback to the Transit Commission's plan for unification. It has nothing to do with the flve-cent fare, unification, or the final power of the board to Issue $52,060,000 worth of bonds for subway construction. The only points decided, according to the Transit Commission special counsel, are that It would have been wasteful to sell the $52,000,000 bonds this month, instead of next month, and that the Controller's certificate of the budget appropriation should have been obtained. By the time the appeal Is argued in the Appelate Division," Untermyer said, "the first question, which to put it mildly, Is trivial, will have disappeared and become purely academic The other condition to the Issue of the bonds Is merely clerical and technical. It provides for an estimate based upon figures that the Controller Is required to present so thta the retirement of bonds shall that the retirement of bonds shall the budget.

It Is an automatic mathematical computation. There is no discretion or exercise or Judgment Involved in It. If the Controller should decline to furnish such a certificate on demand he can be mandamused and compelled to perform that clerical duty. There Is and could be nothing whatever In the decision that challenges the unquestioned power of the Board of Estimate to provide for payments from year to year out of the budget of all or such part of the aubway construction as It may see fit. The policy of the city In making the Improvements and the manner in which payment for hem shall be provided are vested by law In the Board of Estimate and In It alone.
