HOLD CONFERENCE ON
QUEENS RAPID TRANSIT
Adikes Committee Seeks to Get
More Work Started.

To expedite the building OF roplo
transit lines in Queens that are part
of the dual subway system, so that
operation may be started by next Octo-
Der, the transit committee OF the
Queens Chamber Of Commerce held A
conference last week with Commi,-
sioners Straus and Hodge OF the rub
lie Service Commission. Among the
members of the Queens chamber com
mittee present at this conference were
John Adikes, chairman; George j. Ryan,
VI. ]. Dcgnon. f.. A. MscDougall, Henry
A. Kearney. James Frank, William !.
Yale, T. r. Howe and Walter !. willis,
secretary.
Commissioner Hodge said the con-
tract for the subway under the East
River at 6Oth st.. for the Brooklyn Rap
id Transit trains, would be advertised
in two weeks. The contract will pro
vide for completion IN thirty months,
but If the contractor completes same IN
twenty HOHlH0 ''i Ia" f'''''N
ages will be released. In other words,
operation Of the Brooklyn Rapid Trans
il trains TO Queens can be expected By
the summer of 1918.
"A serious situation has arisen by
the failure on the part OF the Board
Of Estimate TO approve the award OF
the contract made by the Public Scr
vice Commission last summer for the
construction Of duct lines in Saith St,
Manhattan, part of which are required
for cables for power TO operate the OK
tensions in Queens. The delay has been
due TO disagreement says the
Queens Chamber Of Commerce, "be-
tween the city and the Public Service
Commission and the lnterborough Rap
id Transit Company as to how the cost
Of this work should be charged, j. G., to
equipment and paid by the INTERIOR
ough. or as construction and paid by
the city. Nine months have passed
since the contract was awarded by the
commission but nothing has been done
toward providing the money by the
Board Of Estimate. Unless these ducts
are built at once, the elevated extern
sions in the LIST and I'd wards of Queens,
which have cost over S5000,000, will re-
main idle, with interest charges piling
up and no revenues from passenger
traffic. The interest on 100000 at 4
per cent for nine months would amount
to Sl50.000. or more than the cost OF
the contract for the construction Of
duets in Manhattan, which is only 1884,,
