he went on. and graft IN it can be
smelled in London even by "A man VINO

After the hearing Mayor GaynCr was
asked whether any definite proposition
mad been made to use the Steinway' tun-
mel He replied that he understood such
a proposition wouls be made within a
short time and that the InterbOrough
would operate cars through the tube and
up to Times Square He also understood
that a five-cent fare would be charged.
Chairman W r. Wilcox Of the Public
Service Commission said he did not know
what the InterborOugh would propose.
The offer OF the Interborough TO sell
the Steinway tunnel to the city for
s7.239.476 was refused on December 81.
1908. after the engineers of the Public
Service Commission had figured that the
local fares would involve a deficit of
S352,500 a year 10 the city. IL would
cost 100000 To make the Steinway tun
mel available at AID street, and even
then that would not mean a physical con-
tinuation Of the line. as the tunnel is on
the fourth level and may continue at
that level 70 Tenth avenue. The exten-
sion 70 Times Square would mean the
establishment Of a double deck station
at that point. Another impediment TO
physical connection is the fact that the
Steinway tunnel is not large enough for
standard subway cars. and il would cost
a million and half to nj it for such cars.
II is expected that the Steinway and
Seventh avenue proposals referred 10 by
the Mayor will be included in the next
offer Of the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company. which will it is said, be made
10 the Public Service Commission within
a few days.

Where figures lie.

1t is said that figures do not lie, but
Liston McAfillen cites an exception to
the rule. A puzzled High sdao3l stu

is the problem: "A agreed to do some
work for $50, which he estimated he
could do in 9 days and thus earn $40
per day. He took in B as a partner
and uhey supposed they could do the
work in five days. They did 1t in four
days. What in justice is BIS share?''
The answer as recorded is $50, attain.

equals 1910 equals so. This over

partners are equal unless by agree.
