Important extensions and additions to the transit facilities through Manhattan and the Bronx will be provided. As an earnest of the new holding company’s laudable | afms, there is the announcement that it will build new east side subways “at the earliest practical moment on the lines adopted by the Rapid Tran- sit Commission.” This {s reassuring, tut a trifle deficient In particulars. How does the | merger leave those “moral agreements” between the public and Mr, Bel- mont, on which he has dwelt with emphasis in asking the Rapid Transit Commission for new favors? How does it affect his promises to dimish the Subway crush by tm- Froving the Lenox avenue service? The Sunday morning shuttle-train | service abuve Ninety-sixth street makes that question pertinent. Is he still In favor of a Pronx to Brooklyn five-<ent fare, and of five-cent fares | from Long Island cities to Manhattan points? How does the amount of compensation the company !s prepared to offer for the east side subways compare with the bids of the rival in- | terests before their “harmonious co-operation?” What concessions in the way of lower fares and improved service will the company give for this additional opportunity to bond public property for private benefit?
