UPREME COURT JUSTICE SHEARN rules that the Board of Eatimate has no right to change a subway contract approved by the Public Service Commission and already let to the con- tractors. The disputed clause which provides how payment shall be ‘made for extra work therefore stands and the Court’s order directs the Board of Estimate to convene at once, approve the contract and provide means to pay for the work involved, That any such eleventh-hour obstructive tactics on the part of the Board should be permitted to put off indefinitely the completion of the new subways would be an outrage. The public so exprpssed iteelf and the Court takes the same view. If the Board of Estimate wants to haggle over its point let it prepare a test case and take it to the Appellate Division. But let ‘work on the subways go forward without interruption until the new @ystem is ready to supply its sorely needed service. ——_-4-—___.____ A FEW IN EVERY AGE.
