til Nav 81 to Answer

The city's answer in the suit for
S30.000,000 damages brought by the 3
r. T. and for an order compelling the
city to proceed with the construction
of the Fourteenth reet-Eastern Dis
trict subway makes counter charges
and asks for the dismissal OF the com
plant.
The Transit Commission, which has
been made q codefendant with the
city, has not filed its answer in the
action and has obtained an extension
Of time until May 81 in which TO pre-
sent its side.
The Corporation Counsel asserts
that the B. r. T. agreed to contribute

has supplied only $12,700,000. The
city, the answer to the complaint says,

The answer asks that the complaint be
dismissed forthwith, and recites sew

answer says the company has a remedy
