McNWHOL MAY BOOST
COST OF SUBWAY
Continued from I'aire One
subway work has been rocolved by tho
Keystono Stato Construction Company, It
wns said at tho offlco of tho company.
Notice from Director Twining that tho
work should bo resumed wns anticipated
today.
Ktnto Senator McNIchol said tho con
struction company would not wait for
formal notification from Director Twin
ing before beginning conferences on the
legal nnd engineering problems.
"Wo are not standing on corcmony,"
Senator McN'ichol said. "My engineers
nnd I will confer with tho Mayor nnd
other city officials whenever tho Mayor
sends word. Wo arc not going to wait
beenuso of red tape."
Knglneera nt McXIchol's company are
making a enreful study of conditions un
der the Halt nnd a report will bo mado
later giving estimates of tho Increased
cost of continuing tho tunnel nnd of re
building tho foundation walls at the point
whero tho excavations nro being made. It
Is admitted by all that the amount of the
contract will bo Insufficient to carry on
the work In view of tho unforeseen con
ditions. It was pointed out today that tho great
est cost will bo to rebuild tho foundation
walls whero they nrc crumbling This was
not Intended under tho original contract,
and thoso who havo studied the con
tract believe tho chnngc can ho mado best
by executing a supplementary contract
with the McMchol Company.
Two separate provisions aro included
In tho original contract, which will per
mit of additional payments. They follow:
"Should the rock bo found nt greater
or less depths" (than estimated by tho
city), "or should changes bo ordered
whereby quantities will bo Increased or
diminished, tho total contract price will
be Increased or diminished by the differ
ence In quantities computed at the respec
tive unit prices bid In tho proposal."
Tho excavations thus far havo brought
to light the fact that tho bedrock to which
the column foundations must bo carried Is
from 10 to 1C feet lower than wns esti
mated after tho test borings by tho Transit
Department This factor will lie ono gov
erning tho Increaso In the contract price.
The other provision under which the
McNIchol Company may claim tho right to
additional navments. or a new contract
to coer the additional work. Is given In
the specifications under the caption of
"Changes." It follows:
Should tho Director change tho de
sign of any portion of the work for
the requirements of tho specifications
the contractor shall conform to such
change. If such alteration shall In
crease the cost of tho work to tho
aswa;3S.

Contractor the Increase will be added
to tho contract price, to be paid by
the city, and It tho cost be diminished
the amount of such diminution will bo
deducted from tho contract price.
If the alteration should be merely
nn Increaso or decrease In quantities
of structure or work for which Unit
prices nro bid and provided In tho
contract, the contract prlco for Item
I will bo Increased or diminished by
the dlfferenco In quantities at tho re
spective unit prices.
Should the rhnnite Involve work or
material of i elnsn for which Ihe
enntrnrt does not rnntnln n price, (he
lnrrrftn nr diminution of expenae
will be estimated by the chief ennl
neer, nnd shall bo subject to agree
ment between the Director nnd the
contractor before proceeding with the
dimmed work, or nt the discretion of
the Hlrecfor the work may be re
quired to be dnno uncW (he "force
nccntint" Item of Hie contract.
N'o loss of prospective profit on portions
of work canceled will bo estimated to the
contract. Any change to be nindo nt nn
Increased mat mny, nt the option of the
Director, be executed under a sepnrnto
contract, therefore, the work under thl
contract bring suspended, If necessary,
until snld change nre completed, Tho
contractor shall glvo every facility for
making such changes, and will not be nl
lowed compensation for delay, but during
nny delay that may result, tho charge for
Inspection and supervision will bo suspended.
AT OPTION OF C1TV.
This provision, It was pointed out today,
would permit the city to cover tho changes
by letting nn ndditlonnl contract for re
building tho foundations under City Itnll
which was not contemplated In tho orig
inal contract, It being supposed that tho
foundations could bo merely underpinned
Whet, asked the nnturo of the amount
of tho cxtnu. ho would demand from
Mayor Smith nnd Director Twining nt tho
conference today, Senator McNIchol said:
"Of course, 1 can't glvo you thoso do
talis bofori tho meeting tnkes place, but
I can y that tho most Important thing
to be considered Is the wnll."
"The rubble wall under tho City Hall?"
he was asked
"Yes," ho replied. "They havo got to
dovlso some way or means by which that
can bo satisfactorily bolstered up beforo
tho work can be resumed.
"There Is nothing moro to do now than
to llnd out what conditions surround tho
foundations. We assumed when wo took
tho contract that tho city's Investigations
had shown the walls to bo in good condi
tion. Wo took tho city description nnd
mado no separato tests.
"Hut no tests had been mado below tho
18-foot depth of tho walls, and when wo
began excavating, wo found from 1C to 10
feet of looso rock beforo wo reached solid
foundations. Wo must have solid foun
dations for tho siibwny, and It means tho
oxcavatlon of from 12 to 10 more feet
than wo expected.
The location of tho Broad i.trcet sub
way station under City Hall, ns planned
by "former Plrector Taylor, Is nlso certain
now. Whllo both the Mayor nnd Presi
dent Lennon, of Select Council, who Intro
duced tho amendment Increasing tho tran
sit Item In the lonn to $57,100,000, belfovo
that tho Twining plan would bo prcfornblc,
they havo agreed to wmmrnw nil opposi
tion, nnd tho victory of tho Taylor plan
Is now completo.
If there Is any necessity to specify
plainly In tho Lennon amendment that
the stntlon must bo under City Hall, Mr.
Lennon has offered to submit a furthor
amendment nt tho meeting of Councils to
morrow, when tho transit loan will be
reported from the Flnnnco Committee.
Whon quizzed ns to whether his amend
ment contained nny other "Jokers" or any
thing which might develop to bo n Joker,"
Mr. Lennon said It did not nnd that ho
submitted It with tho Idea of giving tho
people tho Taylor plans.
"What wero your reasons In dividing
your amendmont Into various Items and
specifying the amounts that should bo ex
pended on cach7"
"For tho sako of expediency," ho re
plied. Former Transit Director Taylor will
appear before tho Municipal Affairs and
Conventions Commltteo of tho Philadel
phia Chamber of Commcrco nnd point
out the advantages of tho Taylor plan of
compiehensivo rapid trnnsit development.
Yesterday Director Twining spoke be
foro tho committee, nnd explained thnt
he had noted purely as nn engineer In
making his recommendations.
"I have gone Into this fight simply ns
an engineer," ho continued, "without nny
collar around my neck.' So fnr ns I am
concerned personally, they can extend tho
operations to Krlo avenue, to Olney avenue
or to Jenklntown. But they must 'pay
the freight.' '
"I am seeking merely to Impress upon
them thl3 fact. Tho peoplo of Philadelphia
should awake to tho fact that they will go
head over heels In debt If they adopt tho
Taylor plan. Tills must bo met cither by
taxation or Increabed rates of faro until
tho development of outlying legions pays
returns on their Investment, for It would
bo nothing else."
To a query concerning tho connection
between his plan and tho desires of tho
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company,
Director Twining said: "I am merely an
engineer with no political connection. The
insinuations otherwise havo been due to
a falluro of those people to read my re
port. 1 havo suggested two plans, ono
that proposes n connection with tho Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Eystem nnd another
depicted on tho map on page 10 of my
report, which does not."
The meeting was presided over by K. C.
McGowIn, vice president of tho committee.

"DAVE" LANE'S IRE
STIRRED BY VICTORY
OF TAYLOR'S PLAN
'Monstrous," Says "Nestor' of
Republican Party, Who"
Cleared Way for Smith's
Nomination
SAYS PEOPLE ARE MISLED
David II. Lane, so often called tho
ncstor of the Republican party, and who
probably did moro than nny other man
to effect enough harmony In the pro-election
party councils to let Thomas R. Smith
get the support of all organization fac
tions, Is wroth nt the way tho transit situ
ation has turned out. After dictating nn
Interview today he best expressed himself
In nn extra ndded paragraph, ono might
say, when ho cmphaslied this:
"Tho whole proposition Is too monstrous
nnd too nhsurd for mo to consider Berl
ously." Mr. Lane's Interview does not wholly
express his Ideas Ho had considerably
moro to say than ho dictated for publica
tion, but ho preferred to let tho readers
themselves work out tho details of his
Indefinite predictions
This Is tho Interview, rxnetty ns ho
dictated, n condition ho domanded be ful
filled down to the last comma:
"I have very llttlo patlonco In discuss
ing tho nblllty of the city to carry n pas
senger 15 miles for B cents on n $2, 000, 000
per mllo construction cost, when tho courts
havo dcclarod a 2 cent per mllo for n
railroad construction costing 100,000 per
mllo Is confiscatory.
'I n'm opposed to enriching suburban
wnrds nt tho expense of centrnl wants.
It's done at n price that will never pay,
nnd when tho enormous cost has to be met
by tho public these peoplo back of tho
matter will pay the penalty.
"Again, It nssumes nn nnomatous phaBe
when tho city Is competing wllh Its own
property the Philadelphia Rnpld Transit
Company. Why not start a rival water
works? Tho transit companies havo paid
$2,000,000 for paving streets which Is cap
italized In 400,000 shares of stock on
which thiiy pay $3 a share today, or
$1,200,000 annually Thev mado n present
to tho city of a $00,000,000 property, sub
ject to a CO years' leasehold. They havo
ngrced In perpetuity to pay $600,000 for
paving streets, which, capitalized at 5 per
cent., means $10,000,000 additional.
"They mado It posslblo nlnce the advent
of passenger railways to Increase tho
populotlon from 250,000 to nearly 2,000,
000; for circulation Is tho lnw of aggre
gation of population. They havo In
creased the tax nssessments Ono billion
dollnrs, on which tho city nnd school levy
their $1.50 rate.
"It seems to mo that tho P. R. T. has
noma llttlo claim for consideration, nnd
thoso nttomptlng Its destruction nro men
who represent vested Interests who nro
,jr
.sowing tho wind that will reap the whirl
Wind. "Tho whole proposition Is too monstroitB
nnd too absurd for ino to consider seri
ously." Rcforo tho Interview was given Sir.
Lano announced thnt ho wouldn't discuss
It nil, though ho did answer ono question.
This was tho question:
"Do you think tho people wero misled
In desiring tho Taylor plan above tho sub
stitution plnn?" He roared the answer:
"Certainly they were misled."
"And by whom? You mean tho Mayor
should havo stuck to his guns nnd defend
ed tho Twining plans, regardless?"
"I mean that tho public, the peoplo, did
not deslro tho Taylor plans above nny
others. Tho newspapers made all tho
racket."
But then Mr. Lane Interrupted himself
to say ho wouldn't discuss It. After giv
ing his statement ho enlarged on It, but
not for publication. He certainly feels
strongly about It, nnd predicts dlro things
ns n result of the adoption of tho Taylor
plans, Tho only time ho was calm In talk
ing about them was when ho dlctnted his
rather restrained statement.
