A Sensible, Hopeful Course MAYBE Supsrvisor -George

Burchell of Mamaroneck Town was right—very likely it was "an historic meeting."

We refer to Thursday's 160-min-ute session involving Westchest­er's top -officials "and representa­tives of the New York Central Railroad.

In one sense, it marked the end of an era - and for that we believe we can thank County Executive Edwin G. Michaelian.

He has bet the tempo for future relations between Westchester and the forms of transportation upon which it is so dependent.

No more fighting. No more ex­pensive lawsuits. No more screams of "robbers," "gougers" when the railroads yell for help to the Pub­lic Service Commission.

Already Mr. Michaelian's tem­perate handling of a vital probr lem confronting the county has paid off. Yesterday, the New York Central agreed to give Westchest­er added time to prepare its plea for a re-hearing of the PSC order permitting a close-down of Put­nam Division passenger operations on June 1.

In other words, the Central which has expended some §400,000 to s e c u r e higher commutation rates and to abandon the Putnam, is willing to give us more time to convince the PCS that the Cen­tral is wrong, that perhaps some way can be found to Nceep the trains operating through the cen­tral portions of Westchester.

WE CAN ASK no more at this point. That small foot-in-the-door was brought about by cooperation. And we need more of it.

The Central's vice president in charge of passenger service, Er­n e s t C. Nickerson, said yesterday's long session was "a healthy thing; refreshing after all the years of accusations."

Mr. Nickerson was frank; as matters stand right now, the Put­nam Division should be discontin­ued, he said. Westchester couldn't

disagree more with that state­ment, but it no longer screams shrilly that discontinuance is a dark plot calculated to bar serv­ice to hundreds of commuters.

Mr. Nickerson also admitted that the Central with its new 7 per cent increase, "will make a small return" on its Harlem and Hudson Divisions, which each day carry some 43,000 people into New York City centers of employment.

Mr. Michaelian is intent on se­curing the best possible transpor­tation facilities for a county badly in need of them now and in the years ahead when Westchester reaches a population of a million in 1975.

He admits that he cannot or would not support "government operation" of a transportation fa­cility in Westchester.

"THE ULTIMATE THING, the last resort" he says Westchester would try would be some form of transportation authority to main­tain commutation.

But he is willing to join the rail­roads and the supervisors who represent Westchester's citizens in talks that would study such forms of relief as direct subsidies or tax forgiveness or tax abatement. >

At this point, there are no "guar­antees from either side. But there is an intentness on cooperation, on study, and on seeking a way out that would provide the Central a return on its investment and West­chester with the kind of rail trans­portation it needs.

Supervisor Burchell says the meeting was "historic" in the sense that for once, a great com­munity has sat down and hashed out mutual problems with a rail­road.

We think he's right, ft is now possible that Westchester and the New York Central — respectively first among the nation's commu­nities and the nation's great rail­roads—will find the answer to the problems that beset fast, good su­burban transportation in these United States.

Coming Events

The first celebration announced In Mount Kisco for the return of beer early in April was made to­day by the Veterans, of Foreign Wars when Edwin W. McCall, commander of the Mount Kisco Post 2721 stated that they will hold an old fashioned beefsteak dinner at Kisco Lodge the day that beer first becomes legal again. To that effect the Vets are advertising the celebration on the first page of the North Westchest­er Times today. Other parties have been scheduled and old beer drinkers as well as new ones are planning to start at midnight of that first day to celebrate. Already English ales and beers are on their way overseas with 10 per cent alcoholic content,

Mrs. Nathan Elman, president of the Mount Kisco Hebrew Sister­hood stated yesterday that what­ever action is taken by the Ortho dox Rabbinical Associations of America in connection with the Jewish protest against Hitlerite outrages in Germany will be strongly endorsed by the Sister­hood which is a member of one of the associations.

New York City's gangland car­

ried its warfare into this section last Sunday when the bodies of two "ride" victims were dumped at the foot of a tree behind a stonewall on county owned proper­ty along Green Lane, Bedford Hills, about a mile from Monte-fiore Home. The dead men were later identified as Joseph Calle-gari, ex-convict of 71 Concord Street, Brooklyn and Frank Russo, plumber of Ozone Park, L. I.

The first of the new noiseless police tele-type machines to be put into operation in Northern Westchester County was installed in Mount Kisco police headquar­ters in the Municipal Building last Tuesday morning by the New York Telephone Co.

Robert E. Harrison of McLain Street, who has been quite anx­ious for the past week concerning the whereabouts and condition of his brother-in-law, sister and fam ily who are residents of Long Beach, Calif, where the recent earthquake occurred, was much relieved on Monday when he re ceived a card from his sister, in­forming him of their safety, al though having lost their home and all their belongings.

To the Editor: The Women's Society of the First

Congregational Church of Chappa­qua had arranged for the Read­er's Digest Choristers to appear at the regular monthly meeting, which was scheduled for Thursday, March 20th.

Unfortunately, the heavy snow­fall blocked roads and driveways, made the church parking lot un­usable and closed the schools, which would have kept many women home with their children.

In spite of all these difficulties, the Choristers were more than will-

,ing to appear, and since a large gathering had been expected under more favorable conditions to hear this splendid organization, it was with great regret that we found

WEEKEND JAIL TERM YONKERS—Robert Cramer, for­

ty-one, is a model husband five days a week. His trouble is week­ends, his wife told the court yes­terday; police reported he had had a series of "lost weekends." Arrested on his wife's charge, Cramer appeared before Judge Albert L. Fiorillo March 24. He was sentenced to 15 days in the City Jail — but the sentence will be served only on weekends. Fio­rillo said it was one way to "help a good- man get rid of a bad habit."

SPRING FEVER? YONKERS — Maybe it was a

touch of spring fever. A car failed to stop at the Thruway tollgate, kept on despite the calls of an attendant. A State Police car dis­patched from Tarrytown finally halted the vehicle several miles north of the tollgate, after what police described as a difficult time in getting the driver's attention. They ticketed Rosario Lonibardi Of 370. E. 159th St., the Bronx Lombard! said he'd never noticed the toll gate or the pursuing police car. Was talking to a companion, he said.

A quarter of a century ago the joyous news in Chappaqua was the reopening of the Chappaqua Na­tional Bank after having been closed by presidential proclama­tion for nine days. With' the lifting of restrictions, banks in Northern Westchester and business contin­ued from the point wher£ it had left off when the banks were closed. The cashier of »the bank, in discussing business during the •first day of the reopening, pointed out that the deposits far exceeded the withdrawals and the withdraw­als were not 6f an unusual nature.

The. hamlet of Chappaqua found its tax rate for the year of 1933 in­creased slightly over the rate for 1932. Cuts in the town budget re­sulting in .4751 saving, was offset by-the costs.of carrying the water system. Millwood and Mt Kisco benefitted by the decreases in the rate. The local' rate was announced as $16. 1059 per thousand for all districts. Increased costs of poor relief were noted as contributing to. the rise in tax rates.
