Commission to-day On account of the growing
budget expenditures now reaching to more thah

To add to the embarrassment OF the toh'roliei'
two three experts. John r. Mcdonald among liie
others have told the Controller that no prac''Cai
railroad is likely to come forward as an op-
orator Of the new Fourth avenue subway II ne mas

on the cost of construction, The opinion OF THESE
men that the Fourth avenue subway never VIII
a good paying proposition. as it does not tap a
section that ever will be thckly populated
Under the law the Public Service Commission
said the Controller stsTday. "can go ahead ana
let contract for building the various sections or
the tunnel The Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment must provide the money. if we've got the
money We, of course. will provide 1t. but ii we
haven't got it, or If other improvements are more
needed than the subway that we decide to give
them the right Of way. then there will not be
enough money for all of the subway sections No
tell what will happen before the contracts
for all the six sections are awarded
After the Public Service Commission awards the
bids for the various sections Il doubtless will ask
the Board of Estimate and Apportonment for
money. In the regular course OF business the board
Will ask Controller about the state of the city >
finances, and he probably will ask the Corporation
Counsel for advice. Doing that will carry the tun-
mel project into midsummer, and perhaps over unti
fall.
The city's debt incurring capacity will be IN
creased on July by the addition Of the assessed
valuations giving the city additional feeway Of
at least $40 10000 over and above the margin at
the present time. The Controller Is on record as
favoring the building of two sections OF the new
subway so as TO bring it up to a junction with the
present subway at Fulton street and Flatbush ave-
aIso early completion of the
bridge loon subway now under way The La
Broadway section of the system has not yet
been financed.
Mayor Mcclellan is determined, no matter what
happens TO leave his successor with from Slo1o"O
to s20.ooooo leeway when he retires from once at
the end of next year
The Public Service Commission informed con-
tractors yesterday that all the certified checks OF
unsuccessful bidders would be returned to them as
soon as the successful bidder is decided upon
