INTERBOROt On AROt w.
The Board ~ Estimate to Consider the

submitted TWO POints sNhet'ieu.
There is to he more delay before the
reports OF the conference committees OF
the hoard Of Estimate and of the Public
Service Commission on the now subway
plans are made public Borough President
McAneny. the head Of the Board Of Est
mates committee. and Chairman WILCOX
Of the Public Serv ice & commission promised
two days ago that AT yesterdays mee'-
ing of the Board Of Estimate. after i h'.d
been shown tha, 1t world ha impoh-.ne
for the committees to fnis. 'h"ir reports
in time. a resolution would le in'sodliced
calling for special meeting of tie board
on Monday and that the committees should
be empow cred TO give out their reports
to day.
Instead Of asking this Mr.. McAneny
suggested that the report should be H"r'
back until Monday His explanation was
that he and his colleagues would be unabl"
to put 1t into shape before Monday, al
though he admitted that the commit
tees had reached their conclusions ana
we're now merely trying to put them IN
type. The repor, will be volumlnous
one. but Mr. McAnenv has been az work
upon IL since last FRIDAY and he ackno~ l.
edged when he got back from his country
home a, Lake George las; Monday nigh,
tha, he practically had finished .he rough
draft. and since then he and Mr "'i'coN
have given almost their entire time 10 II.
When the announcement was mad"
Yesterday by Mr. McAu,L ~ a. the Roa'd
Of Estimate meeting tha' the report couid
not I've made ready until Monday more
than one member said that they we're in
clined TO think that the delay vas due To
a desire for further negotiations with the
marlborough company.
There are two important points that
the committees are anxious to straighten
on, before they submit their report. One
ia the threat Of the In'erborou gh company
that il will Withdraw all negotiations If
the Brool,lv RAPID Transit Company Ia
permitted TO build tunnel from the Ba. :
ie,v under Broadway TO Fnty-ninth
street and thence under that thorough
fare across greensboro Bridge 10 Queens
county
The other is that Comptroller Prender-
CAST and President Mitchell Of the Board
Of Aldermen have told Mr.. McAneny and
Chairman Wilcox that they will oppose
any report which does not provide that the
lnterborough company shall bind itself
IL it gets permission to extend it's subway
on the east side Of the city north OF Forty
second street to turn that subway over
TO the city AT the end Of a ten year term
should the city so desire.
So far the company has refused TO listen
to this suggestion and IL is known also
that the marlborough company will not
agree to the demand which MIR. Prender-
gast and Mr.. Mitchell are making that the
company shall use IA the operating ex-
pense basis in determining the c,ty's
share of the revenue the average cost per
passenger over the entire system instead
of merely over the extensions.
II is believed that MIR. Prendergast and
Mr. Mitchell have informed Mr.. McAnenv
that unless the report imposes their con-
ditions thew will vote against grantn any
new lies to the marlborough company.
II was for This reason. II was said yesrer-
dav. that the report was being held back
so that Nr. McAnenv and his collca glies
could have an opportunity OF deiing
further with the lnterborough COMPANY
At yesterdays meeting of the Roard OF
Estimate Mr.. McAnenv asked that the
report he first considered by the board az
a committee Of the whole in executive
session After listening 10 the request
the Mayor with the consent Of tn" board
issued cali for meeting Of tha board
as committee Of the whole ~ 2 p. NJ.
on Monday and for an open meeting of
the board an hour later
