Furthermore, so long as the assem-

Something accomplished

Even as practical matter, how
ever, something has already been ac
complished. There have been cases
where property owners have claimed
damages due to the construction of a
subway through the street on which
their property Adults. The plea has
been made on behalf of the city that
there should be Offset against such
damages the enhancement in value OF
the property due to the construction OF
a subway through that neighborho od,
and this plea the courts have upheld.
Although, Of course, there are a great
many legal questions involved III a
matter such as this, it appears to be
the opinion Of lawyers who have been
connected in the recent past with the
Public Service Commission and with
the present Transit Board that the
legal difficulties are not the real OBJ
1t is the old difficulty which is APP
parently inherent in a democratic gov
eminent. Where the interests Of par
ticular community are involved and Of
particular class Of business, these
special interests are strong enough to
put through legislation favorable to
themselves at the expense of the COM
munity as a whole through the indif-
ference or log-rolling instincts of a
state legislature. The remedy for this,
if remedy there is, lies in the arous-
ing Of public opinion.
The interest on S250,000 900 at per
cent is SIT 500, 900 a year, q sum large
enough to be of interest surely to New
York taxpayers.

The two issues in which Americans
are most interested are the per cent
external consolidated gold loan of 1899
and the per cent gold bonds of 1904,
both Of which are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange and are actively
traded in st present, because of the
speculative element involved in pos
slbie recognition of the Oregon gov
eminent and reorganization of Mexi-
can finances. There are several other
issues, however, which, although not so
largely held in this country, would
have to be considered in any reorgani-
cation plan.
These include the 4 per cent gold
loan of 1910, the consolidated internal
3 per cent silver bonds of 1886, the 5
per cent internal redeemable bonds Of
1894, and the 6 per cent ten-year Treas
ury bonds OF 1918. Another group of

vHte organizations guaranteed by the

the fact that the City Club of New
York had made study of land values

the fact that the City Club of New
York had made study of land values
as affected by the extension of the
subway in New York from 135th Street
to 230th Street. The subway had cost
S7,375,O00, and after deducting what
was considered liberal amount $780,
000,0c0) as the natural increase in
property values in the district that
would have taken place without sub
way extension, it was found that the
increase in values CLEARLY brought by
other words, if the landowners bene-
fitted by this subway extension had
been taxed only one-seventh Of the
total profit which they made from the
extension of the subway the subway
would have been an asset Of the city
free and clear from debt. If it could
have been operated on ratio Of 66
per cent expenses TO gross earnings
on a scent fare there would have
been ample incentive for private
corporation to enter into a contract
with the city for its operation.
A somewhat different aspect of this
same problem was presented few
years ago when the property owners
along Sixth Avenue asked that the
Sixth Avenue Elevated be torn down
and a subway put through Sixth Ave
nue. instead. There was no doubt ex-
pressed that the increase in value of
property on Sixth Avenue would be
far and away greater than the cost of
tearing down The elevated and build
ing the new subway. What has taken
place on Park Avenue since the cleo
IRRIGATION of the New York Central
bears out this assumption. Property
owners attempted to get together and
themselves raise the money to build a
subway and so show for them selves
Il handsome profit on their land values.
even were the subway to be handed
over gratis to the city on to the Inter
boro, and eventually to the city III eX-
change for the present elevated.
AS matter of fact, the attempt fell
through, partly for lack of co-opera-
ton, partly because the property own
ers could not finance the undertaking
and did not succeed in getting any
financial institution sufficiently inter
ested. However, the study that wan
made at that time indicates the posi-
bility, at least in theory. of such a
method of handling the capital cost of
subway construction.
Theoretically, the assessment plan
of building rapid transit facilities ap-
pears to be economically sound. The
practical difficulties, however, are enor-
nous. The subject has been studied by
members of the present Transit Com
