Y. C, Contract. | To the Fatitor of Tue Evening World: I have answered heretofore nine of the ten questions which The Evening World has raised with respect to the west side Improvement. The follow- ing answer appears as the reply to Question No. 8, but it is nevertheless the tenth and last answer to the series of questions printed In The Evening World: : | “Question No, 8Whon the olty 4ells to the New York Central, docs it receive the lowest price? When {t buve from the New York Cen- tral, docs it pay the highest price?” No, The city does NOT sell to the New York Central at the lowest price. ‘The city does NOT buy trom the New York Centrai at the highest price, In ail cases where the fee of property is to be suid by the city to the railroad, or by the railroad to the city, the prices have been fixed on the basis of full value, Boime people who are entirely competent to judge, and who have examined certain of the proper- ties, have told me that in their opin- jon the fee prices charged for prop- erty sold to the railroad by th y sebm to be higher than the general range of fee values charged for prop- | erty sold to the city by the railroad. the prices in all cases have bi fixed by the city's real estate reps sentative, so that it is the city Values and in no cases the raliroud’s Values which are being used in the Proposed exchanges. When we come to the prices charged for easements, you will find that the scale of such ‘prices Is set forth on pp. 26 and 26 of the April 22, 1916, report of tho Committee on Port Termini ¥ o will Evening World which goes with Question No, § attempts to compare iraisactions which are not compara- ble and is led, therefore, to a false conciusion. He takes as exam; the sule by the city to the New York Central of easements on the lower west side and under Riverside Park, for which the railroad will pay the city 17% per cent. of the free vaiue. He compares these transactions to other sales of easements made here- tofore by the New York Central Rail road Company to the cliy at Forty- second Street and Lexington Avenue, and {a the Bronx where the new su! way line crosses the New York Ce’ tral's right of way. Let us now con | sider the nature of the easements an: decide whether they are of a com- parable nature, The easement to be transferred on the lower west side means that the New York Central will acquire from h ity the right to cross West Eleventh Street on an overhead structure at a cost of about one-sixth of the value of the land owned out- right. I may add that, for the pur- one of establishing the value of a street. which in this case, of course, the city has no 2 to soll, It is ustomary to t foining property right thus acqui bstruction to traffic, and the charac er of the proposed construction ix such that the use of the overhead “ight would not be in any sense dan- 1erous to life or property. 4OW RIVERSIDE PARK EASE- } MENT WAS ESTIMATED. In estimating the value of the usement to ‘be acquired by the rail vad under Riverside Park, the value f the land ts assumed, for the pu of th transaction, to be t full value of Innd ocou- puses and apartments along tiverslde Drive, The appraisal of a 4x100 foot lot ts $25,000, which y that the right to move tra surface; it is not to have the right to move trains on a siructure above the surface; it is simply to have the right to run trains below the new surface of Riverside Park. For this rig purposes to pay the olty 17% per of the estimated fee value. his leaves in the undisputed control of the city the right to do with the eur- face of the park what it pleases and to do what !t pleases with the earth below the grade of the New York | Central Hnes clear to the centre of this planet, ‘The retention of these rights by the oity is extremely tm- portant, because it leaves us free not enly to have a park on the surf, and use it unconscious of railway operation underneath, but it gives us the right also to ring in from New Jersey @ railroad line far below tho surface, if we find it advantageous in the future to do so, In the report made tn 1918 for the west side improvement it was con- templated that the lands in and along Riverside Park should be held in fee by the rallroad and that the city should haye an easement for surface use—Just the reverse of the present plan, ‘This feature opened the way to one of the main objections to that posed plan, because tt was con- lod that the city should retain wnership, and with this position | ediy agree, iter In The Evening World in another case as high as 67% par cent. of the fee, Nevertheless, a grovt point Is made of the sale by the York Central to the city of an ease- COOLING ANTISEPTIC-DEQQORAN HEALS BROKEN BLISTERS ‘ALL OnUGOWTS E.FouGERAE INC.NY. —W Ment for the new Lexi ng figures presented, Indicates is sold to the olty to the that the easement at 48 2-10 per cent. of the fee, The fact is that the value of these ments is not comparable one with another. 1 have no right offhand jo argue that the city Is making a bet- ter bargain at West Thirty-sixth Street, for instance, In exacting 67% per cent. of the fee value than the Public Service Commission, acting for the city, did in its 18 2-10ths per cent. bargain at Lexington Avenue.

The transactions are not the same, At Forty-second Street and Lex- ington Avenue the city acquires, tho right to run diagonally under the site of the new Hotel Commodore, | now under construction.
