Why should not Mr. Belmont oblige the Comptroller and open his books to prove just how poor the Subway | Operating company is? The best way to quiet scepticism is to let Mr. Metz see with his own eyes that entry of $12,000,000, representing payment for the McDonald | lease, and the total of $22,600,000, expended for cars, generators, power; plants and general equipment. If these figures leave him unconvinced it should only be necessary to introduce him into the mazes of operating ex- penses and interest charges and show him in what straits of corporation impecuniosity a profit of two cents on every five-cent fare leaves the com- pany whose stock is in demand at 225. : Mr, Belmont should at least use these means to soften the heart of | his landlord, who only asks for the rent nominated in the lease.
