SUBWAY WORK NOW
Sl,65O,OOO A MONTH
Chairman Mccall, in Citing
Figures. Fclicitatcs City
on Dual Contracts.

More than s1.65o.o 900 month is being
spent by the city and the rapid transit
companies In building the dual subway
system The number of men directly EN-
ployed is $4,000. to say nothing of those
who are busy in lumber, cement and steel
mills turning out subway materials.
These facts yesterday moved Edward Il.
Mccall. chairman OF the Public Service
Commission, to say:
AT this time of financial crisis I can
not refrain from congratulating the city
upon the wisdom and foresight of the men
who devoted their energies TO the planning
and drafting OF the dual contracts These
involve an ultimate expenditure OF nearly
$3.50, 100000 Il is to H." everlasting
credit Of the wise men Of the commission
aud OF the Board Of Estimate and par
tlcularlv Chairman wil!coN. Mr. Mean
eny and Mi Prendergast that they pers"-
vered IN their work and secured completed
agreements binding the city. the COM
panies and the bankers to this great en-
terprse.
Much was heard in those days of tho
enormous profits The bankers were to
make out OF the financing Of the plan.
Legs patriotic men would have given
way before the criticism. I cannot say
too much IN honor OF THESE men 60 whom
the city owes It's new rapid transit sys-
TEN. a system that is essential to the
future development of the city. Had the
contracts gone over for a year or a year
and half to await a referendum or to
secure better financial terms. does any one
doubt that there would be- no prospect Of
any rapid transit development for years?
| have no doubt that the bankers might
we'll wish they were now out OF the en-
terprise."
Mr.. Mccall said that up to September
I contracts for iifty-nine sections uf the

VEToEs GARAGE ORDINANCE.
Mayor Thinks IL would Increase
Dangers From GasoIrue.

Mayor Mitchell voted Yesterday an
ordinance which would relieve garage
owners OF the necessity OF having sep
arators to prevent innammable oils from
flowing into sewers
This ordinance was passed after ag-
tation and hearings In which hundreds
OF automobile owners insisted that the
law ~ 1t stood caused an Unnecessary
expense.
Mayor Mitchell says The fire and sewer
departments made out stronger case
than that of the garage people In his
veto message he refers 20 the sewer eX-
piosions In Forty-second street on Mon
day and says:
This accident leads to the conclusion
that We must guard more carefully our
city sewers from gasolene vapors and
that a rigid inspection OF garages and
other places using gasolene must he car
