Mayor Hylan Contends Con-
Struction Price Should Have
Been Paid For Long Ago.

In Cross examination of Edward T.
J. Gaynor auditor of the INTERIOR
ough, at to-day's inquiry by the
Estimate Board OF the city traction
situation, Mayor Hylan contended
that the Interborough's own figures
prove its cost of subway construction
has long ago been paid for and that
ITS $S5, 900 900 Of stock and $2lO, 900, OOO
Of bonds is therefore pure velvet
and nothing more or less than water.
Corporation Counsel Burr obtained
the admission from Auditor Gaynor
that despite its plea for an Scent
fare on the grounds of poverty, the
Interborough now has Il surplus OF
SlU,OOOO 900 or $12 900, 900 which is in
vested in the New York and Queens
Company and that it would have had

Gaynor admitted that on a capital
stock Of $35, ,OOO,O 900 the Interborough
mas paid sos, ,G2J, 600 in dividends from
June 30, 1904, to date. lie also ad-
ntted that S6J, 100000 has been turned

Mayor Hylan asked Gaynor II il
wasn't true that since the Inter
borough took over the Manhattan
hallway Company in 1903 it had paid
over to that company $95,OOOOOO.
Il wouldn't put it that way" was
the answer He finally admitted that
interest and dividends amounted to
about $95 100000.

S. Attorney.

Profteering druggists who avail
themselves Of the opportunity given
them by the Prohibition Law O.
charge their patrons an eXorbitant
price for whiskey have come under
the eyes of United States Attorney
Leroy w. Ross OF Brooklyn, and 1t Is
likely that prosecutions will follow.
Mr.. Ross said complaint had been
made that some druggists were charg-
ing Sc a pint for whiskey on a regu-
lar doctors prescription, filled out in
duplicate as required by law.
'T am looking into the matter" said
Mr.. Ross ut strikes me that IS
and Sc a pint for an article the in
gradients Of which cost less than so
cents a gallon is an unconscionable
price, and II there is any way to stop
it I will apply the remedy.
"It is possible that druggist might
which forbids any one overcharging
for necessaries. This law has been
considered IN relation to food and
clothing. but in the case OF a person
who has reached climax in a case
OF pneumonia, or some other dis
ease, liquor becomes Of greater
necessity for the time being than
either food or clothes. Moreover.
charging such an exorbitant price
only encourages the poorer people to
buy liquor surreptitiously, and every
body ought to know by this time the
kind Of stuff that is for sale"
An Evening World reporter made
inquiries of a number OF druggists
in all sections of Brooklyn and ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Ross's informant had
not exaggerated the price charged.
Druggists in Flatbush, Williams
burg and Coney Island insisted that
the prescription should be in dupli-
cate and said their price was s. n
pint. ono druggist in the Bedford
district said Sc was his price or all
the druggists VINO were quered one,
! found in Bensonhurst offered to fill
a prescription with 100 proof whiskey
at 81 a pint and a druggist close to
! the old border line between East New
York and Woodhaven declared he
would supply fine grade, more than
100 proof, at $2.25.
Men formerly in the liquor bust
ness declared there was no excuse
for charging such exorbltant prices.
An Evening World reporter talked to
one who yesterday sold his bonded
warehouse certificates for 35 barrels
of high grade whiskey of well known
brands and more than 100 proof at
$3.50 a gallon. The stuff is in ware
houses in this city and vicinity, and
the buyer, n well-known wholesale
drug firm, will have to pay an inter
nal revenue tax. This, in the case OF
Ilfuuor to be dispensed as medicine,
is S22O a gallon. The cost Of transfer
from the warehouse to his establish
ment will be few cents a gallon
more. but the total cost to the buyer
will not exceed So a gallon, IL was
said. OF course the wholesaler has
to nav an annual license fee Of 500.
in the case Of the retail druggist he
has to pay an annual tax of $25 to
the Federal Government and $40 tu
