GOVERNMENT VS..
PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION

WASHINGTON, Mach e7.-A re-
cent gathering Of construction con
tractors in the Pacific Northwest.
having adopted resolutions urging
that when government. state county
or municipal construction work is to
be done. private contractors be Civ
en- an opportunity to bid on the work
in petition with the government
bureau or agency that would do the
work if undertaken at the direct ex-
pensc of the publ" the Republican
Publicity Association. through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne.
Jr.. takes occasion to remark that.
There is much good reason in sup
por, Of this suggestion" The AS
sociation then says:
1T is common belief. If not COM
mon knowledge, that government
business is more expensive than sim
liar undertakings conducted by priv
ate enterprise. Managers OF govern
ment business have not the same in
centive to economy and efficiency
which determine the methods and
policies OF private enterprise whose
profits and continued existence de-
pend upon successful management.
1t is also common belief that when
a governmental agency undertakes
construction work II does not charge,
as part Of the expenses. many over
head costs. interest on investment.
depreciation Of property and other
~incidentals. Because OF this. gov
eminent work is frequently repre-
scented as being less expensive,
whereas the actual cos imposed upon
the taxpayer is greater than would
be the case il the work had been done
by private enterprise.
There is another fact in connec-
ton with the relative merits Of gov
eminent and private operation which
Is worthy Of consideration. 1t is
the custom of a government bureau
to make estimates of the cost of con-
Quoting a piece of construction work.
hui experience shows that in almost
every instance the estimates are
exceeded from 25 to so per cent.
aud even more. A government bu-
eau may estimate its ability to con-
duct the work for less than a private
contractor would stipulate as the
price. and thus the public be induced
to believe hat the government work
is tie cheaper. but when the work
is finally completed the figures will
usually show that the private con-
struction cost would have been less.
The private contractor is obliged to
do the work for a stipulated sum.

News of the Real Estate World
WANT CROSSTOWN
TUBE FOR AID ST.
Property Owners Hail Transit
Commissions Decision to
Consider Project.

The last report of the Transit Com
mission indicates that that body has
under consideration the construction of
a subway under Forty-second street
from tho East River to the Hudson
If this plan is put through it will do
away with the present shuttle, as the
crosstown subway will have stations
under the Grand Central and Times
square stations of the present subway.
The mere mention of this subway project
has sent the property owners along
Forty-second street into a fiutter.
The Property Owners and Merchants
Association, which has worked for sew
eral years to improve Forty-second
street. has urged the building Of such
subway. and now that the Transit
Commission has deigned to mention 1t
this civic organization urges that it be
extended westward under the Hudson
to Weehawken. Such a subway, the
Forty-second street owners say, would
also necessitate the revival of a ferry
from East Forty-second street to Long
Island City. and it will also add weight
to the agitation for a municipal pier
at Forty-second street and the East
River for the Sound line steamers.
1t has been a thorn in the side of
the Forty-second street real estate in
terests for some time that the Sound
steamers are obliged to touch at
Twenty-second street instead Of at
Forty-second street. The fact that the
hotel and terminal district is in the
latter zone Is sufficient reason, the prop
erty owners say, to bring about the
change.
The Forty-second street owners are
also much interested in the moving plat
form method of transit for Forty-second
street. advanced by Daniel l.. Turner.
chief consulting engineer OF the Transit
Commission. Mr.. Turner told the NUM-
cipal Engineers of New York City the
other day that this moving platform,
equipped with seats to hold two persons,
could carry about $4,000 Persons an hour.
or the equivalent of the capacity OF sew
enty-tvo ten car subway trains.
Travelling at the rate of nine miles,
Mr. Turner said. the service would be
as rapid as the present shuttle. The
cost of construction he estimates will be
81, 500 900 and the cost of equipment for
operation s3,00O,000 The operating cost
on the basis of 5000 900 passengers a
year would be $4,000 with an addi-
tional $4,000 for each additional million
passengers. A fare Of two and a quarter
cents, he said, would be sufficient rev.
cnue to support the platform If 100000
(one-ffth of the present normal shuttle
traffic) were carried daily. With $4,000
passengers a day the service could be
maintained for one and q quarter cents.
Mr.. Turner advanced the idea that sim
liar platforms might be constructed
under other busy crosstown streets.
