Shonts of the Interborough Rapid Transit Com peary to-day pledged his word to The Evening World {n the foregoing unmie- tekable language that his company would amend its original proposition by providing a five-cent fare to Coney Island without any guarantee of deficit for operation from the city whatsoever. Under the Interborough's proposal on Deo, 5 last the city was asked to settle annually any deficit arising from the Interborough’s operation of the Fourth avenue subway in Brooklyn with extensions to Coney Island. The exact language of thie clause in the proposition was: “If the income shall be ineuffictent to meet the charges the deficit shall be paid annually by the city.” The Evening World, on Dec. 10 last, tore the mask off the “Joker” im the Interborough proposal, publishing a four-column diagram showing how) the Interborough proposed using the “deficit” of the Coney Island and Fort) Hamilton lines operated as a branch railroad to “pump dry” the profits due | the city from the company’s operation of the rest of the new rapid transit lines, bjectionable part of the Interbor- ‘Mr. Shonts now withdraws this offer. out any guarantee from the city. ‘The Interborough Rapid Transit Company, in its most recent advertia- ing, has used extracts from The Evening World, seeking to show that its) original offer fulfilled the conditions of a five-cent fare to Coney Toland. | SHONTS MAKES A NEW OEFER. ?
