FOR TWO NEW SUBWAYS
SAYS CITY SHOULD BUILD.
Mayor Says Money Could Easily
BE Raised.

NIavnr Mcclellan Is in favor OF having the
city build two new subways IL no bidders are
ch;alned az the advertising for proposals, and he
ssi6 yesterday that The city could raise the
money for tho work. Albert 3. Boardman, cf
counsel FOR the Rapid Transit Commission, at
the meeting Of the commission on Thursday.
said that there was grave doubt about there
being bidder for new subways under the terms
OF the Elsberg bin. When Mr. Boardman's
marks were repeated 90 the Mayor yesterday he
said:
The despondent Mr. Boardman is assuming
that the Eisberg bill is a law. It Is not, as the
Governor has not signed ft, so far as can dis
cover ne assumes that there wiz be no pig t.
Gers under the new law. He does not know that
there VIII not be. and the presumption IS IN
favor OF the oDinioa that there viii be. The
metropolitan subway Of Paris was built part with
public and part with private capital under
fhlrty-five year lease, and there were six bid
6ers. Il cost more 20 build than our subway.
AIr. BoardmRn assumes and states that the
Elsberg bill limits the leasing term to twenty
years Il does not Il provides practically for
forty year term. He assumes that the cltys
debts bring 1t so close to the debt limit that we
could not raise tEe money for subway building IL
there were no private bidders. Mr.. Boardman
assumed and stated all these things at the hear
ing on the Elsberg bill and he was called down
by me at the time. and he failed TO make good
his statements
much more than S5000O000. I see nothing TO
prevent the city, in case there Is no bidder for
the proposed new subways. TO go ahead with the
building.
II two tunnels were started-anG that is
much tuEnel building as is warranted at one
time-fhs city would nof need to spend more
than, say. s1O.OO9,O00 year That can be
raised from tie natural increases in taxable
valuations.
The citys borrowing capacity is greater than
ET. Boardman thinks ] am having prepared a
statement showing exactly what the citys bor-
rOWlcZ capacity is. and I think that it will be
away over $50,o00.O00. There is no sense in as
Eumjng that there will be no bidders for sub
ways. The thing for the city to do IS to go
Hhea6 and advertise for bids and see whether we
get them not.
IL the city should find II advantageous to go
ahead with the construction Of a subway or two
subways, there woLId be trouble about get
ting tenant afteFward The experience that
the engineers have gained in building the first
subway VIII enable them TO build the next one in
TorEmanlike manner, so that when it is done
81 VIII be in shape 10 earn good dividends. Traf-
&c IS increasing all the time and there will be 4
very large traffic for all the subways that can

Property Formerly Osvned by Ea-
Manor of Elmira IRUoIUed.

The supplementary proceedings started a few
weeks ago against Colonel David c. Robinson. once
Mayor Of ElnliFa and a son OF the late Governor
Lucius Robinson developed yesterday into suit
OF considerable Importance. in which the Mutual
Life Insurance Company viii be concerned 1t will
probably be brought within few days. The suit
grows out OF testimony that Robinson has given IN
the supplementary proceedings, In which he told
OF transfers or large blocks OF real estate TO the
Mutual, apparently without compensation.
Some years ago Colonel Robinson was under in
dictment for alleged criminal acts. but the ndict-
ments later dismissed. Then Robinson brought
suit against the Mutual alleging criminal persecu-
tion and conspiracy Five directors were mem
toned, but the suits were dropped when. it is al
legged property valued az about Si50.Oo9 decided

had been heavily encountered before Gilbert ".
Minor, a lawyer. who has drawn out the facts
from Robinson in supplementary proceedings in the
burger in the Supreme Court. said yesterday that
he would institute this suit against the Mutuals d.
rectors to try get this property back fraud be-
ing alleged in the transfer originally.
Robinson was az time wealthy. He was sued
by Charles H. Patrick for debt OF s27e for ma
terial supplied for the Lyceum Theatre. in ElnliFa,
which Mrs. Robinson owns. Robinson declared that
he had virtually source of income; that he owes
at least S35000O many accounts OutlaweG and
that everything in the way OF property in the fam

ITO RETIRE INSPECTORS.
Plan to Dust Smith and Dr~han
again Laid to SuIEUans.

Fresh excitement was created among the vet
erans of the police force yesterday by the an
nouncement that inspectors Elbert o. smith
and Thomas L. Druhan had been cited before
the surgeons for a new examination as 70 their
physical fitness to continue in the service and
that thirty-ave serseants. roundsmen and pa
trolmen. who have grown old in the depart
ment had received similar orders General
Bingham was out Of the city. but the report ran
through the department that he was bent on
forcing into retirement most Of the veterans to
make room for new blood"
inspectors Smith and Druhan were forced on
the pension list by Commissioner McAdoo last
year. with dozen captains and score OF SER
geants. The courts restored them TO active duty
recently. declaring that the law authorizing the
Commissioner TO retire policemen on certificates
of physical disability did not apply TO men who
were in active service and able 70 perform such
service. Both inspectors declared yesterday
that If Commissioner Bingham retired them
against their will they would get back in haste
on the strength of the Court Of Appeals de-
cisiOn
According to reports in the department yes
terday politics has much TO do with the latest
plan TO force Smith and Druhan into retirement.
Before the two inspectors were set back by the
courts, it is said. the Sulllvans, who had under
taken to run the police force in Manhattan. had
promised to have Captains HodgiuD and OCon-
made inspectors in time for the annual pO-
lice parade The story is that Hodgins and
OConnor felt so sure Of promotion that they
had their tailors make inspectors uniforms for
them, expecting to wear them in the coming
parade
1t is now hinted that the only way the Sulli-
vans could make good" was TO have Smith and
Druhan forced into temporary retirement again.
Counsel for one of the inspectors said yesterday
that the Corporation Counsel had advised
changes in the blank forms to be filed out by
the police surgeons making the physical exami-
nations. in the expectation of overcoming the
decision of the Court of Appeals that the re-
tirement law did not require an inspector Of po-
lice 60 be At physically TO perform full police
duty
It is possible that the courts may be asked TO
issue an injunction 70 prevent General Bingham
from retiring Smith and Druhan. There was
some talk yesterday also, that the attention OF
the Governor would be called to the attempted
removal of veterans of the force, and that the
Governor would be asked to remove Commits
siOner Bingham.
