The subway with my oldest son Bob Jr. Present City Council plus. Deputy Mayor Edward Kavanagh four of us. Subway for about two hours. Quite a few dead. Talk with me and express their appreciation for the police protection road from twelve to two am and. Told them to that this was not just a one day wonder that this protection will continue and that. Step up protection on the streets and pox so that this city will be the safest city. In the world. One of your. I thought considering the fact that this was the first night of operation that. Six hundred regular policemen who normally do not. Have a plethora of to an extent patrolled the subway system that it went very well. It was good saturation in the terminal points that I saw. The saturation that we'd hoped to in the way of some of the supervisory force the sergeants lieutenants captains and we checked on each station as we went by found them all covered wanted to. See the policeman immediately got out communicated with headquarters but while we were doing that policeman came because he had been on the other side of the tracks the other station and I may say too that. Time. People using the subway. Quite some time. Out. On the street. Some of the cars were concentrated in the area. Make sure that any crimes. Not that I saw though. As I said. This is an emergency. At this time with. Six hundred extra police. And. Hundred fifty to two hundred. Police being paid overtime. Eight hundred. Take the physical examination and get that training anomaly this takes quite a long period of time. Every means possible to expedite it and the eight hundred men will all be in one class in the police academy and will be assigned permanent positions a lot of pot of July time and then be able to relieve those who are now doing emergency duty. Transit police. Paid by the city by the transit. Whether they have more men and does not affect the financial position of the transit. By the police. By the police there were no felony arrests major crimes. Indicate clearly with. Saturation the police. Greater protection was given to the people. The ten arrests comprised of. Eleven conduct one and exposure and one arrest for possession of narcotics. That can always be. Program. War on Crime we have the largest police. We have the greatest coverage. On a per capita than any other city in the United States. And we're going to do it how much it's going to cost because I think. Eight hundred thousand dollars a month. Nothing to do with. The city police does not come out of the transit authority. The process of trying to arrive at a budget. Very clearly until we find out what is happening in Albany. On a number of the. Expense. Of what happens in. Taxes will have to. Pay. The cost of this protection and I'm sure that the people of the City of God willing to make that sacrifice. Well I am not a member of the state legislature within my province I read the papers I get some reports and I think that having some discussion along that line I read in the papers today that the problem seems to be among the Republicans. Well I don't think it should be thought of as a campaign issue too important to try to political purposes. Has to do with the safety of people. Who have no idea what they're going to talk about or who the potential opponents. Haven't. As a candidate. And. As matter of fact I met him in the subway. At fourteenth Street. And again expressed his deep appreciation for what. I don't know how much. Well. Everybody in this. Country I suppose has the right to support or oppose anybody in public office or any group has the right and. Privilege. As I'm concerned. Bob I'm a. Continuing. To all of the people particularly people in the so-called minority groups greater opportunities in housing and education and job opportunities and. Some of these things are. Not spectacular at times the progress that has been made. Sometimes it doesn't move as fast as some would like but I'll be glad to match the record of this administration in this area with any previous administration in the history of. Any administration throughout. This country. This is a matter of. Police. And. Police. As I know the transit authority has not come out. Of the dog. Handler. And. Who. Signed at the subways are not. Working. Over time. When they were. Taken away from. Any other part of the work. We have the report. The same report. Them out I said before I think they deserve. Credit because I know I was up to. The work of. Getting the. Time. Out into the campaign. Time I ran in the time I ran. The newspapers with all due respect. Well. Posed by the administration point in a falling off. The rail estate value. Increase. Encreased over the property values. The cost of operating the government has decreased. The amount that they can tax. Roughly eighty five percent of the cost of the government. Now it's down below fifty percent because governments cost over the years of increased and. Real estate taxes hasn't increased that rapidly. That eighty percent of. The constitutional provisions should be. Taxing a real estate. Friend of mine fact talked on the telephone. One of. The nomination. Meet any political friend. That is a member of the tides. And I certainly will. And in the same way as we did last night. Not even the police department the Transit Authority had any idea that I was. Part of the subway system I'll do the same thing again. By anybody gods or anything. At this point is the unification of the. City police with the police this is been under consideration and discussions on it back and forth over a number of years and there are a lot of problems involved here. Everybody members of the. Transit Authority or anybody else have the right to express their. Last night. Eight o'clock eight P.M. to four A.M.. Period. And one made by the city police five were made by the presence of police there were no. Arrests for any felonies a major crime. Had to the night before we had the saturation of police we had the police in every station and controlling every train. Means that. The. Number of police there are greater protection given to the riders personally. I did two hours last night. To my son and. The deputy mayor Kavanagh. A lot of the people. To help. I think there's no question about it. The point is that. Many of the people in. This canal of the fans of. An increase in the number. Of. Cars here in.
