STARL\ SUGGESTS DEAL
MR. SHOXTS SCOUTS IT.
Inlcr.-Mct. Asked to Bid on Sub
nays in lictufn for "L" Tracks.
« John H. Starin, of th«» Rapid Transit Commis
sion, at the meeting of the commission yesterday,
following a hearing on the proposition to allow the
interborouKh people to put two additional elevated
tracks in Second avenue and one in Third ave
nue for the use of. express trains, presented a
resolution suggesting that if the [nterborougta com
pany Is to ft ■what it asks for In Second and
Third avenues It should build the Seventh avenue
i.-.i i Efghiu avenue and Lexington avenue sub
v.ays with its own money.
When Mr. Shonts saw the Btarln suggestions he
raid that the Interborough-lietropotttan would not
I st» j n t" such an idea for a minute and that it
would not think of building- the subways with Its
■ own money under such conditions.
. The hearing was largely attended. The move
ment for the additional elevated tracks was re
vived by residents of The Bronx, who hold that
while elevated tracks ore not wholly desirable,'
they serve to take care of traffic, and that the
people of The Bronx desire some sort of rapid
transit without further delay.
- Among those who urged the additional tracks
•were lasses 1... Wells, A. K. Davis. W. W. Kites,
Congressman Goulden, Borough President Haffen
end William S. Germain.
Max K. llimsen and a number of Independence
- Leaguers opposed the Idea. After a prolonged
• hearing of arguments pro and con. Commissioner
Btarin presented the following- memorial and reso
lution:
For the last two or three years it has been
plainly evident to me that the Interborough in
terests were more anxious to obtain the conces
sions they desire on. the Second and Third avenue
elevated structures than to build more subways.
That company has made several determined efforts
to Induce the board to grant franchises for the
Increasing of Its elevated facilities on ,the East
6!de. which efforts have in each case been sue
. cessfully opposed. ,
The outcome of the advertising for bids, which
terminated on April 25. amply demonstrates the
• correctness of my position. Notwithstanding the
fact that the board has refused to grant elevated
additions, the Interborough company has refused
to bid, and coincident with this refusal we are
BCf.ln besought to gTant that company the im
mensely valuable concessions which it seeks for
Its elevated railroads.
I assume that each member of th« board and
every thinking citizen understands that the Inter
borough company will be able, if we granted It the
right to construct a third track on both Its Second
and Third avenue elevated structures, to install at
a comparatively small outlay what would amount
to two complete rush hour express services, for
•whi'h st most, the city would only be nominally
compensated, and which, under whatever restric
tions granted, would add untold value to the per
petual franchise now enjoyed by the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad Company in these thorough
* I believe that the Interborough company is un
der every obligation to construct the subways
' which were recently advertised, and which It says
It would be willing to construct if the terms
•were made satisfactory. In view of these fact* I
want to state to the board that I would be willing
to grant to the Interboroueh company authority
to construct these additional third tracks only on
the condition that that company would agree to ,
build that portion »f the subway recently adver
tised in Lexington avonw north of -I^<l street and
la Seventh avenue south of 42d street, using its own
capital both for construct! and equipment, and
' mill agree, In addition, to provide a reasonably
edequate system of universal transfers between
Its surface, tub-surface and elevated lines,
I therefore move th« following resolution:
Resolved, That this board write to Theodore P.
oftonts in reply to his communication dated April
54 V'«- advising him that it will he willing to
anter into negotiations with the Interborough Sapid
Tran«it Company looking toward the granting of
a limited franchise on terms favorable to the city,
and to be readjusted from time to time, for the
• third-tracking of its Second Avenue and Third
.Avenue elevated railroads, in accordance with its
application dated May 31. '19"?.. provided that com
pany will enter Into a contract with the city to
■ construct and operate those portions of the Seventh
Avenue Eighth Avenue and Lexington Avenue
rapid transit railroads referred to In said com
munication, using entirely its own canital in con
struction and equipment, and provided, further.
that they will also agree '■ arrange for a system
cf'unlveresl •■. Rfere between subways, elevated
structures and surface lines on all its lines in the
. boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx.
"The Ihterborongh-Metropolltan cannot consider
Such a suggestion for 0 moment," said Mr. Shonts
of th« Starin memorial and resolution when it was
• shown to him. 'Tnder the terms of (be contract
ai laid down by the Rapid Transit Commission It
would be unposs ble to construct the. subways with
•or own money. And we will at present consider
Uo system of universal transfers." •
, After the business of the calendar had been
completed th" Rapid Transit Commission gave a
• heating to F. B. Be.hr on bis application for a fran
cfcfje to build a liTeh-speed monorail line to Coney
Island from the fr>nt <.f Atlantic avenue. Mr. IJelir
*«w accompir.ied hv ft. F. Tobey, who appeared as

leto E. McDonald, of the Interborough Com
pany, said lapt nigbt that no responsible contractor
• n ' J '' ! J)id under the mi as laid down by the
rannaUgjon in il.e route? advertised last month.
after the *xe< utive ressjon it was announced that
the only business was the consideration of the in
junctions ser\.-'l (,-a the board preventing it from
luting any new contracts. It was announced that
- the board adopted a resolution that no future sub
ways woul.i be advertised for without alterations

It ■*• 6cid that this resolution would nullify the
injunctions and place the matter before the board
for future action.

« contract provides that in calculating the rent
XEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MAY 3. 1907. -PAGES NINE TO FOURTEEN.
to bo paid by the operating company to the city
the cost of all easements acquired is to be added
to the coat of construction, and the Interest paid by
the City upon bonds issued for these purposes, plus
1 per cent, is to be the rent. This is substantially
M'l.'iO was done In the case of the Manhattan-
Brooklyn contract, where the rent is to be the
Interest plus 1 per cent on bonds Issued for con
struction, together with Interest on bonds issued
to acquire easements for right of way.
Whatever the cost of these easements might I.e.
it would have to be paid by the city under the pro
posed contract, and the operating company would
have to pay as rent fhe Interest which the city
paid on the }>oiids issued for such property, plus 1
per cent.
Assuming the cost to be 12,500.000, as estimated,
and the interest payable by the city to be i per
cent, this would add $125,000 a- year to the rent
pays hut would not otherwise affect the cost of
the road to the contractor.
The Rapid Transit act doep not compel the Rapid
Transit Commissioners to charge rent upon the
cost of easements acquired for rights of way. but
it has been th« declared policy of the board ever
since J902 to make such a charge
Third— The purchase of property for station en
trni,. ■
This is. of course, a matter which the law does
not regulate. but the policy of the board as declared
for tlio last three or four years has been to pro-
Vlde for putting station entrances within private
property wherever possible. It, the case of the
Mxth avenue Hne it is expressly provided that this
snail be done, except Where the board might lv«
distinct permission to the contractor to nut en
trances in the streets.
n — Greatly Increased responsibility for dam
nges.
In th« contracts for the Manhattan-Bronx and
Manhattan-Brooklyn rapid transit railways the
provisions as to the responsibility of the contractor
for damages to abutting property were believed to
/>" ample. Tn practice, however, serious doubts
Uavd arisen as to the meaning of those clauses.
If the Hoard so desires the contract can. of
course, be redrawn so as to leave the contractor
responsible only for the use of reasonable skill and
diligence, in which ea*e It is probable that owners
and occupiers of abutting property would have no
redress In many cases, or would be able to hold the
city or New York responsible. The accidents occur
ring In Park avenue and in Joralemon street have
naturally been such as to warn the board againft
leaving contracts for construction In a shape to
invite doubtful litigation.
Fifth— An Increase In the diameter of the tunnels
This Increase Is due. as I am informed by the
engineers, to a desire to give a more efficient and
satisfactory service. The reasons are. of course,
of a technical kind, which I cannot undertake to
state.
Sixth— "The feet that the express and local trucks
In Lexington avenue are upon different levels also
ados materially to the cost."
This Is as much as saying that going up Lexing
ton avenue adds materially to the cost I under
stand from the engineers that. It would be in the
long run quite as expenptve. If not more so. to
make, four tracks on the same level. I^exlneton
avenue is a comparatively narrow street, where
any other than a double deck construction would be
almost Impracticable
Seventh -"Another important consideration is the
exceptionally broad power conferred by your form
or contra.' upon the public authorities to require
froni lime to time any changes In the construction
of the subway and in the equipment and other ap
pliances used therein as shall to them seem proper."
Mr. Rives refers at considerable length to this
phase of the situation. He givea the terms of the
old contracts which covered this point, and explains
the difference between the two contracts. Then,
referring to the provisions of the new contract, he
says:
It will be spfti that If carried info effect they
would have been far loss drastic than the otter's
which will bo v*-Ftod in th« now Public Service
Commission If the bill now tending before the
Legislature becomes it law. They would simply
authorise the commission to make orde.ru and di
rections, which would be prima faclo regarded by
the courts as reasonable and proper, hut could not
he enforced except through the medium of a court
order.
Eighth— Bhonts further points out that In
various respects the income would bo reduced, or
the. expenses which must be provided for out of
Income would be much greater, as compared with
the original subway contracts.
These things are not due to changes In the form
of contract
A. Interest, on the supposition that the city can
sell its bonds on a 4 per cent basis, ■will be from
one-half to three-quarters of 1 per cent higher than
In any case of the original rapid transit' bonds.
This is beyond the control of the board.
B. Unlike the original subway, the entire Invest
ment of the contractor In the new subway will i.«
subject to taxation. This |h due to changes In the
rapid transit act, adopted In I!**"
C. "Various advantages conferred by the, original
contract are now eliminated." This doubless re
fers to t!i'- fact that under the existing law rut ad
vertising or merchandising of any kind can be per
mitted in the. subway. This will make considerable
difference In the profits of the operating company,
but Is inoperative under the Elsberg law.
I). The lease Is limited to twenty years, subject
to a renewal upon a revaluation, the trrms of
which cannot be fixed In advance. This Is, of
< -.::-•-, due to the rigid terms of the Elsberg lmv,
for which this commission la !n no degree responsi
ble.

ST. GREGORY'S ANGRY.
SEEKING A DISTRICT.
Doctors Complain of Police Depart
ment's Action After State Approval.
Tho business uipn. merchants mid contributors
who are interested in the application made by
St. Gregory's Hospital for an ambulance district
several weeks ago, were incensed when they
learned yesterday that it hnd not yet been acted
upon. The Mayor has said that their application
deserves reconsideration, and the matter is now
in the hands <>f Police Commissioner Bingham.
The delay is due. the surgeons say, ' ■ Dr
John J. Quigley, president of ihe Heard of Police
Burgeons, who several months ago said in a
written report to Commissioner Bingham that
the public interest would not bo further.'! by
Riving St. Gregory's a district. St. Gregory's
made an application once before, but was turned
down by Commissioner Binghaiu after acting
upon I>r. Quigley's report.
Dr. Charles n. Duncan, chief house surgeon
of st. Gregory's, said yesterday: "The doctors
and all of U8 ure Incensed and feel outraged at
the way we have been treated by Dr. Quigley.
Upon our first application for a district l>r.
<^ui£ley made a three minutes' Inspection of the
hospital, and In his report paid that the publlo
Interest would not be furthered by granting us
a district.
"Mr. Prest, Inspector of the State Board of
Charities, after making a most careful and
searching: examination from tho roof to tho cel
lar, including the personnel of th«> nurses and
doctors, reported to the Stato Board of Chari
ties that our hospital was worthy of receiving
patients. After other men from the State Board
of Charities made additional inspections! they
decided to give us a charter.
"• hit vlfMtine: stiri?ei>ns and internes have been
selected carefully for tli>lr special fitness for tho
positions they now occupy.
"c>ur hospital Is equipped with modern facili
ties, some having been purchased :n Europe, and
is the admiration of all our visiting physicians.
The Health Department has found no reason to
condemn us and the Fire Department has ap
proved of our building.
■•We. have met every qualification that has
be.-n put upon us to render our hos] Ital efficient
and useful to the public, and yet I >r. Quigley
says the public interest would ti"t be furthered
by us.
"I would like to know what this settled In
fluence Is that prompted Or. Quigley to make
this outragous report? I challenge I">r. Quigley
to find a hospital In the < it.v of Now York that

fractures, dislocations and amputations, we find

"Why does Dr. Qulgley set himself above the
State Hoard of Charities, stating that we are
unworthy of receiving patients, when the city
Is paying us every day for patients treated? la
It because our physicians are not ti;.- bost? 1
challenge Dr. Qulgley to point out men thai stand
higher In their profession than the men on out
board. That our hospital is needed In the local
ity Is evident from upward <it' a hundred thou
sand dressings that have been made since it

ELLISON WON'T RESIGN.
But Mayor Put Bird Shot in Tam
many Dove of Peace.
KverythlnK was quiet mli.uk the Tammany
Potomac yesterday. Corooratlon Counsel blllsfcn
said that he did not contemplate resigning for an)
reason whatsoever. On the return of the Mayor t"
flny from Washington Mr. l-.liis.in will probably
call s1 the City Hall and talk the situation over
with him.
His last call od the Mayor was on Monday last,
the day that he took it upon himself to announce
the terms of the peace pact between the City Hall
and nth street. The Mayor made a statement the
same day wntch showed beyond doubt that there
had been some misunderstanding, and on Wednes
day night the Mayor made another statement re
affirming his independence and hinting that Mr.
Klllßon should be sorry for koliik so far as to say
on Monday that the Mayor iintl tho Tanmmany
organization were in complete harmony.
••[ have no Intention of resigning," said Mr. Elli
son yesterday "The Mayor Is my superior officer.
If he wants my resignation he will say so."
The feeling among Tammany men is that Mayor
McClellan Is not going to pick quarrels with Mur
phy but is going to be Independent of him. making
appointments without particular reference to Mr.
Murphy's desires. This Is not a very satisfactory
"Billy" Leonard, a Tammany man. sized the situ
ation up this way: "The dove of peace seems to
have its wings full of bird shot, and doesn't fly
very well But I've had birds that couldn't My
much on account of Injuries, and by careful nursing
they came, around all right. It's going to b« that
way with the slcClellan-Murphy dove of peace.
Just now she Isn't much of a bird. But get your
eye on her a. few months from now!"
There Is no r.-rt;itrH\ that Murphy will call off
the aspirants for leadership In the Ahearn, Will
lams ami Nngla districts, the present leaders being
anti-Murphy men. »
When Percival E. Nagle was asked about It yes
terday he said: "1 haven't heard directly anything
about peace, and l don't know whether we are
vi>ln« to have it or not. It makes no difference to
nit- We have the Senator and Assemblyman, and
if the opposition wants to mix It up with us at the
primaries next September we can take care of our
selves."
