The members OF the Rapid Transit Commission
were eli happy yesterday and disposed to congiftu

mnicative frame Of mind with the exception OF Mr.
Spencer who said to Tribune reporter =" am
happy because have got what l started ont 10

commission will be accepted by the Manhattan Com

not know what the Manhattan people would do about
the provision that they pay per cent OF the net
receipts OF the road into the city treasury. "1hat'
said he as a matter with which the commission
has nothing to do. DO not care to say anything
more. except that believe tie proposition Is A rca
Sensible one."
Mr. Stann said that he stlll In favor OF the

Hamilton Place, appeared before the Rapid Transit
Commission weeks ago and protested in the names
Of all except Of the propertyOwncrs In iamii-
ton Place against the proposed extension there Mr.
Dolly said yesterday: There must be politics In
this scheme when beautiful little residential street

against this piece OF vandalism"
Richard " Hornctt, OF the Real Estate EXCHANGE
said "The extensions granted TO the Manhattan
Company are not what We real estate men wanted
but win try to be satisfied with what we nave
These extensions do not solve the rapid TRANSIT
problem by any means. ana believe that New-forH
will yet have underground railroad Furthermore
I believe that II will be built by the city. These
extensions of the present system will be only tem-
porary renef-a makeshift."
r. r. Wilson, who offered to build the underground
railroad II the city would help him, said mat he
had always favored proper extensions Of the Man
haitian system When asked if he considered the
extensions granted Wednesday as proper eA-
