Park and reach William street by way of
Spruce street. avoiding Uncle Sans prop
erty altogether.
The commission still has a faint hope
OF coming to terms with the Government
but has made up its mind not to permit
the subway to be held up much longer
and has prepared the alternative route to
use in case the easement In not obtained
soon.
1t was learned yesterday that Mr.. Nc
Adoo is figuring on $1,000,0O0 as the sum
