AZ UNSATISFACTORY oEFER.

Many good reasons exist for the Pub
lie Service Commissions rejection Of the
Interboroughs Offer in its latest form.
The most important l. that its plans
tend 10 preserve unnatural dividing lines
i'm the city which it should be the aim
az traction developments TO remove.
The present system of purely north and
south rapid transit lines ON Manhattan
Island aud into The Bronx has an his
iCrc basis. but no other and the Inter
borough plans To ignore the cirCum-
stance that the historic condition no
longer exists For long time the divid-
ing line was maintained at the East
River and il took much coaxing 10 in
duce the Brooklyn traction lines to cross
the bridge. Now they are ready to ex-
t,iid a little way into Manhattan. and
the InterbOrough is prepared TO go a lit
tie way into Brooklyn. But the aim
should be a comprehensive system which
would ignore arbitrary lines Of division
having no correspondence with the flow
OF traffic. Moreover. not only does the
marlborough fail 10 provide n compre-
hensive system. but the adoption of its
pan NNAii AfnRl ~ HfFth Inv dfNtlN'l-
ment Of comprehensive facilities.
Furthermore. the terms which the
company offers are rot acceptable The
long lease which it enjoys on its present
line WAS necessary i'm the case Of an
experimental project. but if recent legis-
lation reflects public opinion il would
no intolerable in the case Of new sub
way. The public would not consent
in the case Of new line "a a seventy
year contract. yet the Intcrborough
proposes 10 build the equivalent Of a
new subway aud wants an operating
contract Of about seventy years. Mr..
McAdoO built his extensions on an agree
ment with the city running only twenty
five years. Why should the Interborough
enjoy terms which can he granted TO no
one else? II is true that such favor
able arrangement Is possible under the
law permitting operating contracts on
extensions To be made co-terminOus with
the contract on the system Of which they
form 4 part. But that law contemplated
ordinary extensions minor additions 10
routes already operated. and was never
intended to apply to tho equivalent Of 4
whole new subway Moreover. as the
Public Service Commission points cut.
the terms which the Interborough offers
for the operation Of these extensions
are more burdensome 10 the city even
than those under which the present sub
way is leased.
The rejection will probably bring a
modification Of its offer from the Inter
borough. which has been steadily i'm
proving its terms; but in any case the
city may feel independent Of its atti-
tude. for there is prospect Of a com
petitor and the passage of the consti-
tutional amendment affecting the debt
limit put the public in n position to con
struct the needed subway itself if il can I
not otherwise obtain satisfactory terms. +
