under my plan, will capitalize the net
earnings of the city's subways after re-
capture 70 issue bonds for new subway
construction and equipment and also to
pay for 'recapture.' In addition to this
the city's assessed valuation will be in
creased as result of new subway con-
struction at least s4O0, 000.0 a year.

sessed value of about $4,000, 600, 900 and
an aggregate increase in the city's bor-
rowing capacity through these and otAcr
improvements OF about $500. 100000. The
city's assessed value and borrowing ca
paclty increased more than this since the
first subway was built less than twenty
years ago.
Mr. McAneny says that the plan is
silly. especially with reference to its
financing. Subways. particularly the re-
captured portion included in the city's
plan, are the most profitable parts OF
the city's transportation system. They
are more profitable than surface OF

Commission. If the comparatively un
profitable. wornout surface and elevated
lines. which make up the bulk Of the
State Transit Commissions plan. will
sustain a s500.000.0OO public expendi-
trre as matter of financing, then. to
apply Mr.. McAneny's own language. IL
is 'idiotc' for him to say that the more
profitable subway lines and extensions
Incorporated in the city plan will not
sustain and finance 60O,O00,OO0 ex-
penditure.
The financing Of any subway plan Is
matter for the Board of Estimate, not
for the State Transit Commission. and
the fact that the Board of Estimate COM
mits itself to the financing of the city's
plan closes that question.

Of the routes proposed in the city's plan.
