borhood of hundred million dollars
worth OF new subways. running

these subways with private capital
rather than by the city. but as the new
law provides that the city may buy
back at the end OF brief term OF
years at a price covering the actual
outlay, plus interest. even this defect
is not fatal. The city must have more
