Whitney of the Public Service Commission explains to-day how serious the subway con- struction problem has become because of war conditions. “Under the programme of the Dual Contracts,” says Commissioner Whit- ney, “the commission, with concur- rent action of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, was charged with the responsibility for construction work aggregating over $222,000,000, of which all but $25,000,000 has been let. “In addition, there msy be in- cluded Lexington Avenue and Seventh Avenue, where comparative- ly Uttle work remains to be done in order that they may be placed in operation. Therefore, for the pur- poses of the present discussion they may be deemed to be completed.
