Walker to Move for Awards On Buses Before Jan. 15

Publication: The New York Times Date: 31 December 1926

Mayor Walker intends to make a motion for the award of the bus franchises at the second regular meeting of the Board of Estimate in January to make good his promise for definite action before Jan. 15, it was learned yesterday. His motion will be for the award of the franchise for Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens to the Equitable Coach Company and for the franchise in the Bronx to the Surface Transportation Corporation, a subsidiary of the Third Avenue Railway Company.

Although it is considered doubtful that the Mayor can get the twelve votes in the board necessary to award a franchise, his motion, it is expected, will have the effect of bringing the bus discussion into the open, if not leading to definite action.
