new SUBWAY ROUTE
CAUSED BY M ADOO
Cheaper Line Planned to
Turn Away from Costly
POstOffCe Barrier.

Because Of the tactics Of Secretary
NcAdoo Of the Treasury Department }:
holding up the city in acquiring an
easement under The Postofiice Building
for the branch of the Seventh av. sun
way that is To go 10 Brooklyn by was
of Park Place. William ST. and the old
Slip-Clark ST. tunnel, the Public Ser
vice Commission adopted another route
Yesterday. II provides for carrying tie
line between Park Place and William
st. under City Hall Park and through
Spruce ST, by the Tribune building
instead of under the postofiice AMI
through Beekman ST.
The adoption Of the route does not
mean that the commission has def
nitely abandoned its efforts to get the
former route legalized. but it wishes 10
get an alternative route in shape to
use IL necessary.
The new route would cost some 500
900 less 10 construct, because il would
do away with the expensive work of
snoring up the postoffice. However, it
would put two curves into the line
which would of necessity slow down the
running time OF trains. The city has
acquired title To the building at the
southwest corner of Beekman st. and
William St. for which it has paid
100000 and which would have TO be
sold If the route is changed.
The action Of the commission was
taken after getting letter from Sec
rotary McAdoo stating that the Horace
:. Ely Company a real estate firm enl-
ployed by him 10 appraise the value Of
the easement under the postOflice. had
reported that it ought to be worth ST.
100000.
The government paid only 100000
to the city for the entire property in
the first place.
The commission employed Joseph f..
Day and the Douglas Robinson, Charles

damages that the government would
sustain in having the subway go under

that the damage would be merely nom
