They are in the public interest, not for the benefit of the! Inter.-Met., or for the personal profit of Ryan, Belmont or Brady. Without a good franchise Mr. Belmont claims to have spent some $6,000,000 building a tunnel under the East River near Blackwell's Isi- and. He mortgaged the subway lease to raise the money. Now he wants, the city to buy his tunnel and let him use it so that he will have both the use of it and the purchase price. ‘ | This is a good proposition for Mr. Belmont. ! A great many people who have built houses in Queens, Brooklyn| and the Bronx would like to exchange their houses for city bonds and to; be allowed to continue to live in the houses. For the city to issue bonds for this purpose would be a benefaction to many people who need the money, Mayor McClellan and Comptroller Metz are in favor of buying the Belmont tunnel. | If the city debt limit is so small that an issue of $2,500,000 of tri-. borough subway bonds would exceed it, how can the debt limit be big! enough to allow the issue of $6,000,000 of bonds to Mr. Belmont? neretitis bv ode rewaral do 0000000 i- 00900¢a0 00000000 “10000, + 109000000 74 cf j 4 fa} a0 JoVgavoaoe FOaaegoca * 1200000 + 100000000 + 10090Cca000 10000000, Every Pretty Girl Should Have an Occupation, Says Mrs. Jarr, But When Mr. Jarr Points to His Office Beauty Her Tune Changes aid If the city is too poor to begin subway construction, how is it rich enough to pay more than twice the money to Mr. Belmont?
