I'll make this agreement with you and
your companions. Let the fruit re-
main on the trees till it becomes ripe,
and promise to give you half"
The boy coolly replied. Il can say
nothing to the proposition. sir, myself,

MAYOR HITS REAL ESTATE MEN
Also Says Subway Shouters Don t
Know What They Are Talking About

Most OF the noise is being made by
real estate men who want subways to go
through their own land Most ofs%he peo-
ple who are shouting do not know what
they are shouting about" This IS what
Mayor Gayror said yesterday morning to A
group Of business and professional men
from brownsville. according to Alderman
Alexander s Drescher who headed the
delegation.
The alderman said the Mayor told them
he was trying to get capitalists to cooper
ate with the city and put Up s50,0oo."0, IN
addition 10 a like amount by the city SO
that the needed transit facilities might be
obtained The Mayor was also quoted as
Saving that he thought arrangements might
he made to build the proposed Eastern
parkway subway TO Buffalo avenue, which
would help Brownsville, II the properly
owners were willing TO have 1t built as
an assessment proposition.
Mayor Gaynor went home yesterday soon
after noon and It is believed he spent the
remainder Of the DAY studying the transit
situation.

CALL SUBWAY STATION BAD
West Siders Demand Change Of
Conditions at I'D Street.

The West End Association calls the I'D
street subway station ''intolerable" ana
will appeal TO the Public Service Comms-
sion to have conditions changed.
'T saw Commissioner John Z. Eustis, of
the commission" said Warren c. Crane, of
No. 121 West 10th street. at the monthly
meeting at the Hotel ST. Andrew last night.
land asked him If we couldn't have the
south doors as we'll as the north entrance
opened. and If we couldn't have another
stairway in the station. He replied that the
Interborough people said the demand, ex-
cept for short time In the day, was not
sufficient for alterations. He told me- how
ever. that if this assoclat ton could show
that conditions were bad the changes could
probably be made
Practically all the members agreed In one
breath that conditions were bad and
many of them used stronger language. The
chief criticisms were that the ticket booth
was so near the north entrance that on
rainy days crowds stood outside getting
wet. that the congestion was insufferable
in the rush hours and that the swinging
doors hammered the people behind in their
faces.
The south doors might well he open, y
said one man. People come through them
anyway when they are opened from the IN
side And then they board the trains with
out paying any fare.
s resolution was passed describing the
condition of the station in strong language
and this will be sent to the Public Service
Commission.
The West End Association thinks that
people coming out of the subway station
and going ST are in danger from the sur
face cars. and has called the matter to the
attention OF the Third Avenue Railroad.
The association will also try to cure the
habit many chauffeurs have of driving with
out anv warning out of garages and across
the sidewalks, endanGerinG the lives OF
pedestrians.

Can the city afford to intrust its fut-

nopoy Is to maintain congested condi-
lions regardless OF the comfort of the
people," asked Mr.. McAdoo-
Says City Must Look Ahead.
I'VE have tried unregulated and then
regulated monopoly" he continued. win
the result that conditions have become
intolerable There has been an utter
failure to provide adequate facilities OF
to make necessary extensions during the
last five years. If the city should permit
the PETERBOROUGH to make such extern
sions now as to destroy the integrity OF
the triborough system. which is the only
practicable route for an independent sys-
tenn, and thereby eliminate forever the
possibility of competition, viii the city
not be confronted with the same problem
as now when the traffic grows TO point
In the future where the congestion pc
comes lust as serious as now, and Will II
not then be utterly helpless to provide a
! remedy"
The PETERBOROUGH also takes up the
subject of competition in its offer. 1t
says:
If competition with the Internorough
believed that by the construction or the
proposed extensions the city viii be IN a
position to establish an independent com,
petitive. line at an earlier date than Woulo
otherwise be possible. Under recent pro
visions of Law the West Side downtown eH-
tension and West Side uptown extension n,
Manhattan. together with the Bronx ana
Brooklyn extensions, could be taken oues
after ten years from the time Wheh me
lines or any part thereof was put in opera
ton.
By the construction of a short crosstoWn
line between Seventh avenue and LexIis-
ton avenue in the vicinity OF either sas,
upon the island of Manhattan SUBWAY

ditionaI advantage of more coHpieu ~ e
extensions to parts of Brooklyn ana Ine
Bronx which, in the mean time, pE Iedoon
of these very extensions, will have deVel-
oped into profitable territory.
Then the offer goes on to say that
there are less advantages in competition
in subways than in other forms OF trans
portation. No one is likely. it Is said, to
reduce fares to less than five cents, and
no one Is likely to charge more AS to
efficiency, the Public Service Commission,
it is explained, has such power SIS to- In
