Subway by private capital urged at real estate meeting
Chairman Willcox told real estate leaders in Vesey Street that private capital might fund subways if the city debt limit prevents public construction. He proposed indeterminate franchise terms with city takeover after up to twenty-five years, and urged legislation to allow private builders under city conditions. Lawson Purdy noted a $27 million debt margin as of Jan 1, 1909. A resolution asked lawmakers to permit private subway construction under specified terms if city funds are unavailable.
