Mayor and Metz Confront Subway Financing Limits
Approximately $30,000,000 is available for subways and other municipal needs over the next eighteen months or until the McClellan administration ends. Mayor McClellan signals a treasury cap for the next administration, making major Manhattan subway plans unlikely without new legislation granting Public Service Commission franchise authority. Brooklyn Fourth Avenue subway cost is now pegged around $26.1–$27.0 million, leaving roughly $21.6 million for other projects through mid-1890s, but many items such as schools, fire houses, and parks will strain the margin.
