As TO 4 SUBWAY COMPROMISE.

not do 10 dismiss il lightly. But on
what basis is compromise practicable
Official criticisms of the interborouGh
proposal have declared its terms To oe
unacceptable, and they certainly do fan
far short of the demands made by the
committee of the Board of Estimate ana
Apportionment.
If n compromise is effected and III"
territory in this city is divided between
the TWO companies. will the Interborough
company abandon its demand Of per
