Belmont Tunnel Franchises Bribe Prompt Psc Probe
The Public Service Commission learned that the Interborough Rapid Transit Company is cutting holes through the east wall of the subway at Forty second Street and Park Avenue to run electric feeder cables toward the Belmont or Steinway tunnel. The move may reflect plans to operate the Belmont tunnel under a franchise from the city. The court ruling limits PSC interference with power sales by the NY Interborough Company, making a stop unlikely unless a franchise is pursued.
