Mr, MoAneny said: 1 strongly favor the building of future subways by the ety rather than by private capital. The eubway bargain struck four years later in the city’s name was not city ownership. Nor did it build subways with Interborough funds as contemplated in the Shonts “memorandum” of March) 88, 1910. ' It was, instead, @ partnerehip contract put over by the Inter- borough on a heads-we-win-taile-you-lose plan, in which the city as gumed al] ultimate liabilities while the Interborough kept the charge sheet. Under what circumstances and by whose sanction was the city’s! position in the deal shifted to suit the demands of its dictatorial partner? ‘That ts the question for somebody to answer. Mr. Shonts’s adjustable memory is hie own. Or rather it wae nd is in the service of the Interborough. But what about the memories of city officiale who were cognirant , of the various stages of dickering by which the heaviest part of the wcbway load was assigned to the city? These gentlemen owe nothing to any private corporation. They were acting for the public, in the interest of the public, answerable to the public for agreements or concessions made in its name. | Their memories on all points touching the euhway contracts be-| long to no one but the public. | Let them clear up the myetery. | a ‘Who'l have thought it! Slow old China with a Govern ment that beats the “movies™! ——————————, FOUR CITY SENATORS. | AST Wednesday the Senate at Albany voted 24 to 23 against a motion to take out of committee the Wagner-Block bills aimed to protect this city’s water supply from pollution certain to follow the building of State institutions on the Croton watershed. If three city Senators—Mesers. Mills, Doll and Heffernan—hed not been absent when the vote was taken, the city might have won an| immediate hearing for these measures which vitally concern ite health. Senator Laweon of Brooklyn was the one Senator from Greater New York who voted to keep the bills in committee. To whom is the city to look for the upholding of its interests in M" the Legislature if not to its own representatives? The movement to stop the building of the Mohansic Hospital and Boys’ Training School on land from which the greater part of 5,000,000 people derive their water supply ought to have the active support of every Senator and Assemblyman elected by any partion of the 6,000,000. The attempt of up-State legislators to exact a price from the city for the privilege of drinking pure water should he met by the city’s representatives to a man. The interests of a handful of Westchester County politicians do net outweigh the rights of the City of New York. Gov. Whitman hes declared that no work will be done on State institutions started on the Croton watershed eo long as he is Governor. No legislator elected from this city can afford to be indifferent toward the Wagner-Block protective bills at any stage. eee amen een ‘Things are happening in Mexico.
