Mr.. Spencer said In support OF his substitute:
MR. PRESIDENT: In Offering these resolu-
tions as a substitute for those now before the
Board ! desire to state my reasons Tor Sc
doing. The lines suggested therein embrace
every substantial advantage Of the one pro;
posed to be offered at public sale. They, afford
the same relief TO the Washington Heights
people. They will produce the same and
quicker, effect IN Increasing the assessed @
city. They supply four-track line for the
west side Of the city. and. for that distance
straighter and shorter. and therefore will SO
sure better rapid transit than the others. The
plan has the following advantages over the
proposed new line
1t provides better for the large travel tc
and from the New Jersey ferries. and conveys
It conveniently mt one fare to the hotel anl
shopping district adjacent to and along Sixth
avenue which is i'm mpossible ty the proposed
or any other new line.
