Public Service Commission Urges Subway Debt Limit Change
In its annual appendix the Public Service Commission for the 1st District argues the constitutional debt limit hinders rapid transit projects. It proposes a joint resolution to exempt self supporting subway bonds from the limit while revenue covers interest and a sinking fund. The report traces debt limits history and cites the 1911 Rapid Transit Act and the subway’s financing as a case where self sustaining projects should not burden taxpayers.
