be sufficient in the aggregate to retire the bonds
the original lease 10 he then terminated The
immensely valuable property thus brought with
out cost 10 the city into its possession would
thereafter br leased to the highest bidder for
successive periods not exceeding thirty years
and presumably become the source Of large
permanent revenue. Certainly this is an at
tractivc prospect. and Mr.. Hewitt. Knowing
already of AT least one responsible corporation
which would bid for such franchise. does not
doubt the entire feasibility Of his plan. Its
chief advantage over Mr.. Wilson's original prof
&C., is that a simple legislative enactment is all
that is needed to establish its legality.
As we have said repeatedly during the last
few years. since il became practically certain
that the Rapid Transit Commission would iail
TO bring any valuable result ont of its long
cogtationS the direct Intervention of the munic-
ipaliy in this business would be new expert
mcnt which only an imperative necessity could
warrant. But the situation being what it is. we
believe that this wide departure from estab-
lShc1 practice ought TO be made. 80 far as
anybody can see. there is no other nope OF OBJ
tanning the relief which is absolutely essential
10 the common welfare. Moreover. If all posi-
bility Of reckless and corrupt employment OF
city funds can he avoided. rs 1t apparently can
be- by Mr.. IIcWitts plan, there is double ad-
vantage dervable from the use Of the citys
credit In the first place the interest on It's
bonds would be little more than onc-half what
private capital If ii could be procured for the
PURPOSE would exact, and consequently the
public might justly demand and expect 10 get
transportation at Il corrcspondingly low rate.
In the second place the city would acquire in a
comparatively short time in return for its fran
chsc great and productive property. Whether
or not an equal revenue might be derived from
n similar franchise under different conditions
IS n matter of speculation, but the experience
of the city in this line has been generally dis
appointing.
II is often easier to say that public opinion
demands a certain course Of action than To
prove it, but in this ease the fact is at least
extremely suggestive that no opposition of any
importance has thus far appeared 10 The pro-
poSal that the city shall utilize lis credit to
provide the people with what they so sorcly
need We think the time has come for repre-
sentative citizens 10 draft a bill cmbdyng Mr.
Hcwitt'S scheme for submission to the Lcgis-
lature Then we should soon know whether
there is any reasonable and intelligent hostility
to the project which has not yet found expires
sion Such a first step could N least do no
harm. and we should hope that il might prove

The adoption by the Chamber Of Commerce
Of Mr.. HewittS views on the subject Of rapid
transit is significant and encouraging for It
seems 10 indicate strong public sentiment in
favor Of the proposal that the city shall inter
vene in behalf Of the people and employ its
credit 10 relieve their urgent needs Since the
deficiency Of transportation facilities increases
rapidly, and time Is therefore Il consideration
cheerful acceptance of Mr.. Hcwitts plan in
place of his own is helpful. for it really leaves
only that one proposition before the community,
and public opinion is likely. therefore, to be
solidatcd in its support. Nobody outside Of the
Manhattan Company is now committed 10 the
idea that the elevated railroads can meet the
requirements Of the future by any possible Sys-
TEN of extensions. and ii is a great advantage
10 get that untcnable theory out Of the field Of
discussion.
Mr.. Hewitts proposal is that the city shall
furnish from the sale of bonds the entire
amount Of money required for the construction
OF an adequate ard expansive system Of under
ground railroads in general conformity with the
scheme outlined by Mr.. Wilson some weeks ago.
BY his plan the construction and operation of
these roads are 10 be- ntrustcd 10 some re-
sponsible corporation which will contract I'M
der suitable guarantees. to pay the interest on
the bonds and In addition thereto an annual
