Public Service Commission seeks $987,500 for 1909 operations
The Public Service Commission asks for a $987,500 appropriation to cover executive, engineering, statistics, franchises, gas and electric bureaus, and investigation costs. It cites subway supervision for Ninety-sixth Street and Broadway routes, arbitration on contracts, and planned expansions as factors. The request is $107,500 less than the prior year's allocation, a rarity for city departments.
