SUBWAY PROTESTS HEARD
William Street Taxpayers Go
Before Commission.

Property owners along the william
street stretch OF tho Seventh avenue.
Brooklyn. subway route protested yester-
day against the use OF that street az part
OF the new subway at the hearing held
before David Levcntritt. former Supreme
Court Justice; Austen g. Fox and Robert
G. Morris. who comprise the commission
recently al pointed by the Appellate Di-
vision to consider the William street sub
way question.
The protest was based on the contention
that the unstable condition Of the soil.
particularly the presence OF quicksand,
would make excavating dangerous TO
abutting Office buildings.
William r. Wilcox, chairman Of the
Public Service Commission. and George
McAnery. president o. Manhattan, warm
ly defended the route, and the latter
called attention To the fact that at the
hearing before the Board Of Estimate
none Of the William street property own
ers objected TO the route.
Chairman Wilcox told the commission
the Public Service engineers said the
William street route was feasible. and he
added that it was preferable TO the LIB
erty street route once proposed, but aban-
doned because Of the numerous sharp
curves and because the soil in some sec
tons was made ground
