SUBWAY REPORT FINISHED
Committee May Make Findings
Public at Thursdays Meeting.

Negotiations and conferences I'm regard
TO the extension Of rapid transit lines in
this city. which began by the appointment
of the conference committee of the Board
of Estimate on January %. ended after a
two hour conference at the Bar Association
last night.
Chairman Wilcox. Of the Public Service
Commission and President McAneny, Of
the conference committee. both said that
the report would he unanimous. As 10 Civ
ing any hint of the nature of the report
both said that their lips and those of the
other members of the conference were
sealed by a pledge that nothing should be
divulged until the report is made public.
N is expected that Il will be in the hands
OF the Board OF Estimate at the meeting
on Thursday. but the plan now is TO put
the consideration of the document over for
a week. in order that all members of the
board may have the opportunity TO IA
miliarize themselves with its contents.
I'VE have finished our deliberations" said
President McAneny after the conferrees had
come down from the upper room. 1--WE
have gone over every point and now all
that remains is the physical work OF whip
ping the report into shape 1t will be
unanimous.
President McAneny expressed himself as
satisfied with the result of the delibera-
tions and Chairman Wilcox seemed
equally pleased. Other members of the
conference. had nothing whatever TO say.
1t is believed that while the report Of
the committee Of the Board of Estimate,
which will be concurred I'm by every MEM
Der Of the Public Service Commission. will
say that the proposition OF the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company in its general
features is acceptable. there are things
needed in the transit situation for which
Il fails 10 provide
There Is a suggestion that while the re-
port will say that terms offered by the
Interborough company in their latest offer
are not such as the city should accept II
will state terms on which the extension of
certain lines by the marlborough would be
acceptable 10 the city.
Such a suggestion in the report would
OF course, give the Interborough another
chance TO modify its offer, but IL is under
'tood that some of the conferrees believed
that such a final opportunity should he
given 10 that company. 1t would be neces-
sary. however, for the marlborough 10 act
quickly on such d suggestion. az the con-
ferrees are pretty well agreed that the pub
lie will not tolerate longer delay I'm actua
subway digging.
II is not improbable IN II the report vii
state that the InteTborCugh should extend
its present line down Seventh avenue AND
by the PENNSYLVANIA station, and that il
might with advantage 10 itself and the
public have route going all the way tc
Tho CITY line i'm Tho RrOrx
The report VIII probably lay down tho
doctrine that 10 shut one company out OF
Rand plade by the Interborough in regard
TO the Brooklyn Rapid Transit's proposed
occupancy OF Broadway. is entirely con-
Uary TO public policy.
- order 10 pacify the lnterboroush II is
not 'mprohsble that the report will recon-
mend that that company he allowed tc
third track and extend it's elevated lines
u has been much more anxious 10 do this
than to build more subways. and in return
for the privilege which il has sought 50
long may be willing TO waive its opposi-
ton TO the Brooklyn' Rapid Transit and
Broadway.
Those present at the final conference las,
night were Chairman Wilcox and Com
missioners McCarrell. Maltbie Eustis and
Basseft, Of the Public Service Commission
and President McAneny and Presiden,
Miller Of The Bronx.
The drawing up OF the final report Was
delegated 20 Chairman Wilcox and Presi-
dent McAneny.
