This is the most es- ans to Williamsburg, Be. f cavenue. id! Flatbush avenue back to the Bow h: both i fe system. se As to the cost, it is so small as to be almost nominal. Mr. Mc- Donald's estimate is $10,000,000— about as much as one year’s taxes | on the increased property valua- tions which* improved and cheap transportation would create. The Teal profit to the city would be 100} For the virtues of the present subway New York Is indebted to Mr. McDonald. He built the subway. He was the contractor who guided} the picks and shovels, the drills and dump-tarts. He did his work well. For the defects in service Mr. Belmont, who ousted Mr. McDonald from the operating company, is the man responsible. For his lack of financial acumen, for his ignorance of Wail street ingratitude, Mr. McDogald has already suffered. ‘ - Let the ptople of New York tie up to Mr. McDonald again. He should know better now than to’go into another partnership with August Belmont. He offers to build the new subway for $10,000,000 and to have it ready for operation in three years. Take him at his word. The “contract cannot be made too soon, The Rapid Transit Commiss the Board of Estimate should not hesitate a minute to use their. ample powers under the Elsberg bill and close the contract. _And after the new subway is built, let the city contract for its opera- tion on the basis of a three-cent fare and a'good service. The cost of building the subway the increased property values will pay many times over. Thi 1¢ whose rents will pay those taxes should have the bene- fit Of a lower fare. Four cents!a day, 24 cents a week,! $12.48 a year is more than a week's wages to the errand boys, saldsgirls, clerks and} Taboring men who will make up the majority of the passengers. | After this beginning is made the extension is simpte: From Fulton } ‘street a branch should be built to Caney Island; from Flushing ayenue 2 branch can be built to Long Island City and the suburbs; from Delan- " Scey street and the Bowery a main line can be run north to Harlem, the Bronx and the city line. All thisis possible for a three-cent fare without al penny of additional taxation and without a sop of submission or conces- sion to the traction monopoly. and the traction trinity. What a good prospect there is for the realization of The Evening World’s fight for a three-cent fare anywhere and everywhere within the | . city limits!
