City's Debt Limit Up Referee to Hear Levy Suit Today
A hearing is set this afternoon before General Benjamin F. Tracy in the Levy suit challenging the Board of Estimate and Apportionment's approval of Public Service Commission contracts for the Fourth Avenue subway in Brooklyn. The case asks whether New York City's indebtedness on June 30 1908 exceeded the constitutional 10 percent debt margin based on real estate valuation. Controller Metz puts net debt at 621 240 611 58 with a slim margin of about 2.9 million. borough leader Coler contends a 64.6 million margin exists. The dispute could shape whether subway work proceeds or debt limits constrain future improvements.
