BUILDING SUBHATS IN SECTIONS.

BUILDING SUBWAYS IN SECTIONS.
Regarding tie utility of the newly found plan
of authorizing the construction OF subways
from year to year in such sections as the city 5
credit will permit, the chief practical question
is whether or not that is the quickest way TO
get new subways If it is, there is little DOUBT
that public opinion will demand its adoption.
If il is not, then, attractive as the idea is TO
those who believe that future transit facilities
ought to be built with municipal rather than pri-
vate capital, it should give place TO whatever
plan promises TO be quicker. The city already
needs additional lines. and it will need them
very badly before any can be constructed; SO
that whatever method promises the speeolesI
results should be employed
Whether sectional authorization will be rea-
sonably quick in its results or not depends upon
how much money the city can spare an
nually for rapid transit construction. 1t is pro
posed TO begin at once two lines, the cost or
which is estimated at about S1o0,00o.ooo If the
city can spare on average only Slo!poo.oOU Il
wear for subway building. obviously it Will
take altogether loo long to finish the lines; the
law can be amended and private capital can
probably be attracted into the field and the
lines finished in that way before the clfy' VIII
