Mr. Belmont owns most ofthe Queens County surfa Mr. Brady controls all the Brooklyn lines except one. In spirit and in fact both these interests are identical with the traction merger, but are kept legally separate for the sole purpose of avoiding free transfers and charging double fares. In these circumstances the plain duty of the Rapid Transit Con. mission and the Board of Estimate‘was and is to lay out an interborough subway system which shall do wit Mr. Belmont and Mr. Ryan and N “Brady will not do until the’ Legislature compels them. a ‘At present the people pf New York are paying $64,000,000 a for carfares. Before a’new subway could be completed the annual pay- ments will be $80,000,000. In a few yeats they will be $100,000,000 The traction trinity of Belmont, Ryan and Brady want all this money Mr. Boardman, who draws a salary from the city as counsel for the Rapid Transit Commission, exposes the flim-Ram nature of the routes which the city is now preparing to advertise by stating that no one will bid on them, Quite likely no one will. None of the routes is of real value to anybody except the Broadway and Lexington avenue feeders, for which the only possible bidder is the traction merger’ A few years ago, before the traction merger was formed, Comp- troller Grout stated that he‘knew-of $500,000,000 available for new sub- ways. That was on the assumption that comprehensive competitive routes should be laid out. It does not apply to these flim-flam routes, If the traction merger wants the Lexington avenue and Broad: branches let it open public and frank negotiations with purp It is ridiculous to offer such routes at public auction, It is} eyen doubtful whether these feeders are advisable, since the, present sub- | is overcrowded ase instead of reliev The city is committed toa fi during the rush’ hours now and the feeders woul! the congestion, dvertising these-flim: ical.
