The City Solicitor went over the general features of the lease with the Mayor, but he did not take a copy away with him and It Is understood that he will not receive a copy until nftcr the meeting with the representntlvei of the ' Philadelphia Itopld Transit Company on Monday, when the final change will be (Bade In the draft. SOLICITOR TO SCAN LRASK Mr. Connelly virtually assured the Mayor, howeer, that ho would be able to (o over all the legal questions Involved In time to give the lease his approval be fore the special meeting of Councils on Fri day afternoon. The legal difficulties which have arisen AS a result of thi request of the firms holding tho six subway contracts (total ing 16, 000,000) that they bo granted cer tain "concessions" on account of war con tlons, were taken up by tho Mayor, tho Director and the City Solicitor. After the conference Mr, Connelly arranged a meet ing with his assistants In tho city's law department on Monday. The concessions nought by the contractors, although they have been approved by tho Mayor and all others concerned, amount to virtually an alteration In tho contracts, It Is admitted, and fur this reason tno passage by Councils of certain ordinances Broadening the powers of the Transit Direc tor may be necessary In order to settlo tho differences. It Is possible that such an ordinance or ordinances may be Introduced nt the special easlon on Friday although It Is not con sidered likely that tho preliminary work In volved In the question could bo cleared up by that time. Senator McNIchol. whose firm (the Key tone State Construction Company) holds four of tho six contracts. Is particularly anxious to have the matter ndjuted. Ho called upon the Mayor In rcferenco to the dlmoultlcs Just after Mr. Connelly left this morning. At the conclusion of tho conference .Mc NIchol announced that his company had greed to carry out Its four contracts with tho city on their original terms. This means that the costs will remain tho same as named In the bids submitted many months go, but McNIchol stipulated that fines lm. posed for delays In tho execution of the contracts shall be remitted. He also an nounced that because the Government Is taking so many of his men It would be necessary to give him a reasonable tlmo to execute the controls. Mayor Smith, ap preciating the condition of the labor mar ket, consented to this proposition ho said. Finance Committee Chairman Joseph P. Caffney and Charles I,.
