Mr.. MeAneny followed the matter up
BY giving details of the cost OF the
Mayors paper plan for subways
THE first element of cost the Mayor
would encounter IL his plan we're pos
aible," said Chairman McAneny, would
be the purchase of the Interborough
and B. r. T. companies interest in the
subway lines that would be subject to
recapture in 1926 and 1927. Under the
terms of the contracts, if and when
these lines are taken over by the city,
or by any other operator, the compa-
nies sre entitled to payment Of the
total amounts of private capital i'm
vested through them for both construc-
tion and equipment, plus an additional
allowance fixed by law of 15 per cent.
For each year beyond the first ten this
fgure would be reduced, but the COM
MISSIONS accounts show shat if taken
in 1925 and 1927 the amounts to be
paid over wosld be as follows:
