Company has paid in contracts on this
work S275,000. The company will supply
power to the marlborough Rapid Transit
Company and it's own subsidiaries by con-
tracts which II Is estimated will save
several millions for the New York NUM-
cipal Railway Corporation.
The sum of s1.10O.o00 is specified as
needed for the payment OF damages to
Malone street wreck claimants. The
recommendation Is made that all claims
In this connection be paid so far az
settlements can be made as soon as
possible
The receiver hxes s,92S.9S2 as neces-
sary to meet the needs OF the New York
Municipal Railway Corporation for con-
struction and equipment work on rapid
transit lines under the contract with the
city. OF this sum s3,TS2S12 is in the
form of outstanding obligations covered
by existing contracts. The remainder
represents purchasing agents orders.
The receiver recommends that provision
to meet these items be made at the rate
of 100000 A month.
The receiver says that additional con-
tracts to be entered into within ninety
days for construction, equipment ard
miscellaneous expenditure make ncces-
sary provision for $1,000 900 If tho con-
tract with the city is to he fulfilled.
The receiver asserts that failure to
make payments on construction con-
tracts and on purchasing agents orders
as they become due may cause the
claimants to repudiatc contracts and
cause a cessation of work. If this hap
pens, he says. the city may attempt IN
set aside the SUBWAY contract on the
ground that the Municipal Company had
defaulted.
The receiver urges that provision he
made TO pay interest charges of $500,
175 due February I and asserts that q
default might cause the bond holders
to foreclose and force the separation
Of existing lines of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company from tho system that
includes the rapid transit lines being
built by the city. This situation would
also jeopardize the subway contract, he

He knows the Answers.

He replies: "The city admits ii would
have to increase fares at once. 1t could
not be cheaper" and adds: The sub
way is the safest passenger railroad in
the world"
He asks again: Would it Stay safe
with
81 Jobs for political reasons instead

20. Political discipline instead Of bust
ness discipline?'
80 New management after every cleo
tom
And again he answers: LAS 1t could
not be cheaper-and probably would be
much dearer. Why Gamble with Human
Lives?'
Col Woof-who was bred in old Ken
lucky, where the meadow grass is blue
picks no quarrel with gambling per Sc.
but on the score OF subway riders lives
he holds views SO conservative that to
him the mere notion OF a passenger $
llfe being gambled wth-at, say. :
cents. and by n heartless city. is "a
thought too intolerable to ind express
sion in words. lie gave this in his edi-
torial sanctum yesterday as the reason
why after putting his problem before the
public he had left It with them instead
Of experimenting 1t with snappy
article. Like other great opponents OF
MODERN eultorlal writing ne mas THIS
maxim:
Put your question clearly before the
public. but never spoon feed your public
Make II think. II will always find the
answer. And It is always right"
He Tackles FIN Again.
Another side OF MS mary f4cc,cd
genius is seen in the pages OF the Green
Car Traveller, issued Yesterday in one
edition with the subway sun. He calls
attention to the net rentals paid by the
marlborough for its subsidiary lines
! and says:
They average only per cent. OF the
present value OF thesS lines. Note care
fully. Because the stock OF the Eigh tn
avenue line is 81. 600, 900 and the rental
| $4,000 It is often misrepresented as a
/ 21La per cent. lease But millions OF
dollars have been spent since the lease
| was made to electrify the line, and the
present value Of the property in service
is $5.970.+l3. The true rental therefore
| Is only $50 per cent. Similarly with
many other OF the lines"
BUT. II they were returned to their
| owners , cent fare could be charged
on each line with no obligation TO give
| free transfers"
And once again. having so we'll trained
his public to THINK, Col. Woof docs
not ask them whether they would like
| to pay extra nickels rather than receive
| free transfers, but leaves them To
! THINK 1T OVER.

The receiver suggests that he will
find it necessary this year TO apply to
the court to raise an additional So
600. 900 This is dependent upon the
progress of the city toward completing
the Fourteenth street Eastern Dis
trict line and on the city arriving at
a definite plan for the third tracking
Of the Fulton street line. The sum fixed

 "On Annette Island fish-trappine privileges and permission to erect and operate a fish cannery have beer granted to the Annette Island Pack ing Company of Seattle, by lease. Ii is expected that the revenue accruine from this lease will make it possible to take over, for the Metlakahtlans the property of the lessee within the Annette Island Fishery Reserve and to arrange for the operation of the cannery by the Natives.
 In May, 1916, representatives oi the Bureau of Education succeeded in organizing among the Natives the Metlakatla Commercial Co.,, with g capital of $2,255 and 30 shareholders to conduct the mercantile business of the settlement. The auditing o1 the affairs of the company in Jan uary, 1918, showed capital of $14, 9S5 at that date and net profit of $4,033.30 for the year. The mum Der of stockholders had increased tc 110. In addition, the company hac rehabiliated and operated the saw mill and had furnished lumber fol the cannery buildings and for other buildings in the village.
 "The income and wages resulting through five successive years, and the prosperity of it's commercial com pany, assure the economic restOra tion of the Metlakatla colony.
 "The honor of taking the first step in assuming a part of the ex penses of their medical service be longs to the Natives at Hoonah, who during the latter part of the year paid the salary of physician ant started a fund for the erection of 2 hospital in their village.
