City seeks 78220 dollar bill from BRT for paving outside tracks
Commissioner Desmond Dunne says the city spent about 600000 in nine years on street paving instead of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company and 20000 on Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad work. He filed bills for 78220.95 and 3421.86, arguing the firms shouldered costs since 1908 and 1897. The dispute centers on required paving outside track areas and alleged informal “agreements” to avoid outside-pavement duties.
