Why Can They Afford It Seat Prices In New York Stocks
A New York gentleman paid nearly 100000 for a stock exchange seat, 95000 for the seat and 2000 as an invitation fee. The piece questions the profit in such a seat, contrasts it with gambling profits, and ponders who funds the lavish city lifestyle behind this Wall Street elite. It reflects on wealth sources, social display, and the paradox of a seat that yields no guaranteed dividend.

New York Eyes Ambitious Six Mile Transit Link
A proposed six mile connecting railway would bridge the Jersey shore to Brooklyn Bay Ridge and link with the New Haven and Pennsylvania systems. The plan includes a Jersey to Staten Island ferry, a Hell Gate bridge, and tunnels beneath Hudson and East Rivers to speed freight and passenger movement between New England, the Southwest, and the South. The project faces franchise and rate issues with the city and federal authorities, but engineers deem the venture financially viable.
