CITY MAY DO THE WORK
Mayor Seems to FaUOr Building
Sub1cays IN Sections.

Mayor Mcclellan will make no further move
in the direction of building new subways until
The fate of the public utilities bill is known If
the bill should fail to pass, probably at an early
day the Mayor and others in the Rapid Transit
Commissionwillt take up anew the project of build
ing one of the proposed new subways. and it is
believed that the Mayor will favor the building
Of a section at time. going as far each year
as the citys purse will permit. rather than a
surrender to the dctation OF the Interborough-
Metropolitan interests.
The subway situation resolves itself into a
question of money. The city at the present time
has debt mourning margin of less than $4,000
GO On July !. when the assessments real
estate become a fixed and legal quantity, the
margin will be increased 10 about SS5O0OOO0
BY that time there will need TO be a new bond
issue Of perhaps S25.000O00. Probably by ex-
ercising economy, the city could segregate S25.-
100000 for subway purposes this year That
does not cut much of figure in municipal con-
struction of subwavs. The chief engineer of the
Rapid Transit Commission estimates that one
subway. with four tracks. will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000 not including the equip
ment
The only thing that we could do" said the
Mayor yesterday. would be build a section of
a subway at a time. What we need TO do if we
go into municipal construction is to build both an
q
Ihat means an expenditure of S1J0oDO00U The
question may be asked, Why two? The answer
IS that If the city builds all il cannot build
extensions To the Interborough system. 1t must
'pul!d Independently, and if ii does that the peo-
pie living on either side of town have equal
claims for consideration The PETERBOROUGH peo-
pie, already controlling the existing subway,
could greatly increase their capacity by extend
ing their system north from 42d street in Lex
lngton avenue and south in Seventh avenue. The
city must build independently. if al all, OF the
marlborough. With debt margin of only $50
VktGp TO S4o000OOO it goes without saying
that could go far
It has been suggested that might build
section OF subway this year. choosing as the
first section the most difficult part to build and
thus get started on the work. Perhaps that is
the best thing that could be done l do not
see anything in the public utilities bill 10 help
out our finances. Some people seem to believe
that the millennium viii dawn at the passage of
that bill As / said before I fail TO discover
anything in il that will increase our debt in
curing capacity.
Mr.. Starin made an interesting suggestion TO
the marlborough when he said that they could
rot hope to get more elevated tracks unless they
would furnish their capital for the
sUbWays. I notice that Mr.. Shonts says the
company viii not do il. Assuming that he
means what he says, il leaves without imme-
date hope Of subways. Sixty days after the
public utilities bill becomes q law will he
empowered TO build subways."
