Belmont tunnel stalemate delays Fourth Avenue subway action
The Public Service Commission defers decisions on the Steinway tunnel and Fourth Avenue subway amid pressure from Queens groups and city finance concerns.

The commission asked the Board of Estimate for 987580 to cover 12 percent of current expenses, with details listing rentals, staff, and services.

PUTS BLAME ON METZ COULD STOP THE LEAKS
Brooklyn Borough President Coler testified before a legislative committee investigating New York City finances charging the lack of executive ability and the Controller's discretion as the root of city waste. He urged a centralized purchasing bureau under the Controller and public disclosure of prices to standardize purchases. He cited a Bridge Street sale case where a bid dispute, bonds, and a wrecking company payment allegedly revealed mismanagement and questions of bond identity and private purchase.
