Between building the IND 6th Ave subway, buying out the BMT, IRT, and Manhattan Railway, demolition costs, and legal fights, LaGuardia almost bankrupted NYC. He never considered the costs of the whole Unification process. Laguardia liked Thomas E Murray Jr's theory that the IRT could be debt free minus the Manhattan els. But it cost a lot more. Murray was the very capable receiver of the bankrupt IRT, who, in 1938, almost succeeded in spinning off the MER els. |
