HI
SUBWAY OFFER'-GAYNOR
"No One Can Compare Case with
What It Was in December.
1910, Without Regret."
ONE MORE CONFERENCE
Rea Confers with Pennsylvania
President, but Rumor Says
He Considers All His
Efforts Were Useless.
Samuel Rea, vice-president of the Pennsyl?
vania Kallroad. who has been trying to
bring lbs city and the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company together on terms undei
which the Interborough w?.ul<l US? Its pari
of th*- new subaray lines outlined in the
WUlcox-McAneay report, was in Philadel?
phia last niKht t.. report to Presldenl M<
Crea. It was rumored here that he would
report that all his efforts were useless, and
there seemed little prospect <>f an
nient being reached.
When seen in Philadelphia Mr. Res re?
fused i?> dlefwts the subway plans at all
From sources close to the Pennsylvania
management, however, It was learned that
all hope had not been abandoned, and thai
ti.ere would l>e another < onfereni'?? here to?
morrow or Friday. Some of th? represen?
tatives of the ?ity believed It would be the
last, and that both sides would acknowledge
th? futility ?.f further negotiations at that
time.
Mayor Gaynor, who had a long talk with
Vice-President Pea on Monda:-, issued a
statement last night in which, after re?
ferring to the offer of December, Ills, of
the Interborough. he said it had been "en?
tirely frittr-ted away," and added:
"It Is gone, and we must do the best we
ean. It is best that the p.-opie of the ?ity
be informed of the facts." He referred to
the fact that the Interborough in that offer
had asked for no guarantee, and went on to
?ay that th?- Brooklyn P.apid Transit Com
ratiy dkl not care anything for the lines In
Th?? Bronx, ami continued: "Such are pres?
ent subway conditions. The way we have
been brought to thern is distressing. But
It Is useless to complain. We must now
do the be?-t we tan."
The repetition of this sentiment was taken
by some as meaning thai the Mayor be?
lieved the Interborough should hav?? some
of the lines, and that. If it was now neces?
sary to ph. some sort of a guarantee, he
would yield It grudgingly.
However, It is a question a? to whether
a guarantee that would be acceptable to the
Interborough would get a majority vote in
the Board of Estimate. President Mltchel
of the Board of Aldermen Is against It an<l
Borough President IfcAneny is opposed to
several of the conditions asked by the In
br.rough. Much dopend? upon the attitude
of t'ontrolhr Prendergast. It Is not believed
that he will yield on several of the points
that were bones of contention at the recent
conferences
President Shnnts at the annual meeting
of the Interborough-Metropolitan Company
yesterday Intimated that the energies of the
Interests with which he was connected
might be devoted in the future to earning
money on the reorganized surface lines
rather than In reaching oui for more sub?
way property.
Mayor Gaynor's Statement.
Mayor Gaynor's statement follows in full :
No one can compare the present subway
i as- with what it was In December, I'M",
without i egret. It was then that the in?
terborough company made its large offer
for the constru? tion and operation of all
of these ?xt.-nsions of the present subway
Which are being talked about, it offered to
put ir. oti?--hali of the construction capital
and all of the ctiulpment capital, and share
the lift probt with the city. It asked for
no ki.aranty against loss or deficit <.f prin
elpal or Interest.
Although the Broadwav root? had been
laid out several years bef?se, and was all
ready to )x- built, it did no! make Sny
condition that the city should not construct
tliit competing rout?-. Its of.', r gr?a

proprietora ael up a hue and cry tha? this
<i*Tf-r niearit that the subways were to he
owned by the company "Olva i;s . ity
tubes.*' was their ignorant cry. The whole
?Ity now knows how they w, re misled by
these newspaper proprietors Under the
tapld transit a.-t the city owns all sub?
ways from the beginning. \o company Can
own them, it do?s not matter whether the
? tv puts In all the capital, or ..nlv half of
it. or none at all?all the same It owns the
subways from the beginning. It lets them
out to companies to operate Th" rapid
transit act prescribes the term or length
of the 1? ISI N'o longer lease can be given.
Blames Some Newspapers.
No matter Whether the operating com?
pany puts in one-half (he construction
money. ... ev? tl all of it. or none "f It it
gets th" very same term of l?ase, not a
day longer or shorter. Such is th? statute.
And yet these newspaper prorriei.ee by
doily falsification tor months n-isJ?-d even
many Intelligent persona to hink otherwise.
Hut that is all passed. They now know
how th??y w. r<- fooled, and ate- reading
decent n< wsp ip? ra, i trust
Meanwhile the Mayor and others bad to
take this dally false abu.??- \i,| w?,at be
i-ame of the offer'.' It I? goa? f |
away The offer was turned over to a com?
mittee to be run out Into the details of a
? et.tract. The long Mor, of n
negotiations ends in this- that th? offer Is
gone, it was said thai ?omnetitioi, was
the thing, and then that the Interborough
company would bave t.. "bid
high" to ?.'"t anything Instead It with?
drew its offer altogether. Then the com
mlttce began to request ihe Interborough
company to negotiate. Things were turned
about.
Theretofore the Interborotigh company
supplicated IbS Cltj, : now city officials had
to supplicate the company. And s,> it -.-..1,1
on until the company mad'- a new offer.
namely, that 1f the city should b\ 1 .
?,f it^ capital gu?rante, to th. company I
per cent net on its ?apltal already Ii
atid 9 per cent on all hereafter to be In?
vested It would put up one-half the con?
struction money, and the committee re?
ported in favor of this ?)f ?ourse it was
not panctloned. The committee has con
tinued to negotiate, and some proposed
guarantee is 110? being discuss?--?!
in a word, the ?r? nt offer of the com?
pany of December, Ilia, has been entirely
frittered away It Is gone, and v\ -e must
do the best we ?an It Is best that th?
pe?>r>1e of the dty he Informed of tin- facts
The dty borrowing margin Is so short
that it will take many years to build a
subway system on <:ty capital alone. In?
stead of completing the present system,
laid out by the old rapid transit board and'
of which the present subway I? only a
crooked fragment.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
has never offered to put up a (lolUr for
subway oonatnictlon. How a different 110
'.lon bas b?-en sue?-essfully spread abroad
Among Intelligent poopte is astonishing It
wants tin? ?ity to bull?! tb<- rout, through
Rr?>adway. Manhattan, for Its exclusive
880, namely, to be hit? ned up to Its Hrook
.yn elevated roads. There is no offer to
.ransfer Its surface passengers also to the
Broadway subway.
This company also exatts a guarantee of
the city of I per cent net earnings on its
Brooklyn subways. Buch Is the scheme
This company of course has no Interest Iti
the Interborough extensions or routes It
could not oi?erate them at a profit. In fact
It is plain that no company except the In?
