NO BIDS RECEIVED FOR
 BUILDING NEW SUBWAYS
NEW YORK TRANSIT COMMIS- SHOWS PROPOSITION FINAN-
 CIALLY IMPOSSIBLE.


 Company Sends Statement to the
 BOard-Lines Would Cost, According
 to the Terms Laid Down, SSS,OO0,00O
 --Enormous Increase Over Cost of
 Present Subway, Which Has Great
 CT Trackage-ProposaI to Build at
 Actual Cost.
 New York, April 25.-Bids for the construction of the proposed new sub way under Lexington, Seventh and Eighth avenues were to have been opened to-day by the Rapid Transit commission but none was received. In stead the commission received from President Theodore P. Shonts of the Interborough company, which operates the present subway, statement to the effect that that company is prepared to build two proposed extensions of the present subway, one down the west side of Manhattan from 42d street to tte battery and the other up Lexington avenue from 42d street into the borough of the Bronx provided the terms were such as to yield fair return on the money to be invested. Mir. Shonts of fered to cooperate with the comn1is- sion in planning for the proposed exten- sions.
 President Shorts informed the Rapid Transit commission that the building of the subways proposed by and under the terms of the commission would be financially impossible William Bar clay Parsons, John B. Mcdonald and MT. Shonts' engineers agreed, he said, that the extensions as proposed under the terms of the commission would cost $SS, ,O0O00O to build and equip and would provide only thirty-nine miles of single track, This he compared to the cost of the present subway, which cost $71,O00,- 900 for sixty-three miles of single track. He said it would be impossible under the onerous provisions required to ob- tain net earnings above operating and maintenance expenses and to pay inter- est on the bonds which the city would issue to build the lines The Inter- borough company was prepared how ever, to contract for building the two extensions at actual cost provided this was inside the city's borrowing capac- Eity and provided that the terms were made such as to ensure earnings sutfi- cient to pay the interest and maintain the sinking fund on the eity's bonds
