The surface roads, all the elevated lines and the Subway pay them a giving of univ transfers is ded: By inflating - the capitalization to §513,000,000 the nickels of the children, (grandchildren and great present-day New Yorkers have already been mortgaged. But all this is not sufficient to make Mr. Belmont s Christmas. He wants more. The last Legislature passed the Elsherg bill, which opened the way to competilion with the traction merger, to three-cent fares, a good Service, and a subway system) which would-car borough to any other borough for one fa All that was needed tc ’ sit Commission to lay out such a suby approve it, for separate bids tobe invited’ for construction and operation, and then, if necessary for the city to build this new subway, for its opera- tion te be contracted-on the -b: ’ fransférs. None of these things. has been done, not competitive routes, but subsidiary lines and feeders. For instance, who except Mr. Belmont can bid for an extension from Forty-second street’ up Lexington ayenue to the Bronx? Any Independent bidder would have to turn his downtown passengers over to the traction monopoly for an additional fare. : Mr. Boardman, who draw Commission, and at the public fied with his earings acts as if he were Mr. Belmont's copnsel, predicts that there will be no biddi ng for the routes as laid out advocates more liberal terms. For whose benefit would these liberal terms beexcept Mr. Belmont? The first subway five-cent-fare lease has been capitalized for $103,500,000. ‘Ts it proposed to advocate a repetition of this folly and to have the city make another Christmas present to Mr. Belmont? ' The new subways should be laid out for the future. They should provide for the scattering of the present crowded population, They should not stop at the Southern Boulevard or at One Hundred and Twen- ty-ninth street or at One Hundred and Fifty-fourth street, but they should extend to the city limits. In no other way will the overcrowding of the tenement neighborhoods be relieved. So long’as it costs ten cents a day to go from cheap land in the suburbs to business centres, no office boy, no shop girl, y laborer and few clerks can afford the journey. ft is very likely that the subway routes which the ci them. are at fault. eS Of (Ne present subway-would-onty ing and add to Mr. Belmont’s profit Sf It is high time that Father.
