TOSAvE $4,000
Reimbursement TO Complete
Work Would Amount to
$4,000 Interest Charges.
BOARD ANSWERS HYLAN.
Commission Will Not Meet
Mayors Suggestion on l4th
Street-EaStern Line.

The Transit Commission will not
meet Mayor Hylan's suggestion of last
night, that the contracts for the COM
pletion of the 18th Street Eastern
District subway line be readvertised
before the Board of Estimate will act.
At the COMMISSIONS offices to-day IL
was stated that no advantage is to be
gained by readvertising such contracts
in the hope of lower prices, for the
reason that such Reimbursement
would entail additional interest
charges OF the city's s17, 100000 in
vestment amounting to $4,000, fllis
would far exceed what might be saved
in the difference between the original
and readvertised bids.
1t was further learned that in re-
jecting the several contracts for tn
completion of the 14th Street subway,
the Board of Estimate never men,
toned in it's communications to tho
Transit Commission that the contracts
were being returned for readvertise-
ment in the hope of lower prices. The
letter from the Board of Estimate to
the Transit Commission, dated Feb.
last, in which the contracts were re-
turned without action by the board,
gave no reason or other explanation
for the failure of the Board Of Es-
innate to take favorable action.
Mayor Hylan's statement last night
that the board rejected the contracts
and asked that they be readvertised
is regarded at the Transit Commits
sion as an "afterthought' provoked
only at this late day, in view OF the
pressure now being brought to COM
pei a "show down" by the city au-
thorities in their attitude TOWARD
more and better rapid transit facili'
ties.
The Evening World yesterday cX-
cluslvely reported the list of twenty
one contracts which the Board of Es-
innate has permitted to sleep" foi
year or more.
The interest charges piling NJ
against the city for failure Of th'
Board OF Estimate to approve thes'
contracts amounts to $4,000 a day
The Reimbursement for new bids fol
this work would in the judgment o
the commission engineers save
about 100000 at best and this is no
sufficient to warrant readvertisemen
of the contracts, when the city's de-
lay to date has cost the taxpayer
about $7OO, 900 in interest charges al
due. 1t is said, TO the attitude of thu
Board of Estimate in withholding III
approval and thus delaying compile

40 Minutes Before Body IS
Extricated.

A well dressed man of fifty, wearing
gold eyeglasses on a black silk ribbon
killed himself just before noon to-day
by leaping in front of a southbound

104th Street Station. He had been
walking about the station for half an
hour before he leaped.
His body was under the rear trucks
of the second car before Motorman
James Rogan could stop his train The
firemen of Truck No. 22 were called
to extricate it. This required twenty
five minutes and the southbound local
service Of the line was interrupted for
about forty minutes. All southbound
traffic was switched to the express
tracks at 116th Street and 66th Street
was the first stop.
There were a number of persons on
the platform at the time the suicide
jumped and their screams brought
Patrolman Brennan OF the West Tooth
Street Station to the platform on the
run.
The dead man wore a suit Of dark
cloth with a white stripe, a white shirt
with blue stripes and a light brown
soft hat with the letter "B" marked
in the leather band.

right) Agreement between President
Harding and Administration leaders
over the financing of the Government
deficit as we'll as the handling of the
bonus issue appears to be in sight.
Definite plans are In the saking
which it is hoped will bring Presi-
dent Harding and leaders of the
House and Senate into accord and al
low passage of bonus bill within
the next few weeks.
Mr.. Harding has not yet consented
to the plan. but has encouraged SEN
ate leaders to work it out in detail
and confer further with him about it.
First of all the plan provides for
the payment of bonus to ex-service
men this year. The President was
told by Senator Watson of Indiana
that there were enough votes to pass
a bonus bill in the Senate and, in
deed, to pass the House bill If that Is
the only measure submitted. In the
face of a certain veto of the House
bill Senator Watson and his associ-
ates are at work on a substitute which
may win executive approval.
The process is somewhat complex,
but unless Secretary Mellon can find
serious fiaw. in II the chances are
II will go through. Here Is the situa-
ton and the plan: - ,a-
The Senate cannot originate rev.
enue legislation, but 1t can amend any
act already providing for collection or
revenue. SO the pending Tariff Act
will be used as a device to overcome
Constitutional objections. In the
Tariff Bill will be written a clause
empowering the Treasury to issue
certificates of Indebtedness amounting
to approximately $lo5, 900, 900, which
is the sum experts believe the bonus
will require the first year, The au-
thority will be given theoretically in
anticipation of receipts from import
duties. In other words, TO meet ex-

already served notice on those Sena-
tors sympathetic with the inquiry that
the resolution will be vigorously
fought. The resolution will go to the
Public Lands Committee, of which
Senator Smoot is Chairman, and he
has privately expressed himself as bit
terly opposed to the investigation.
The La Toilette resolution directs
Secretary Fall to send to the Senate
the following information:
