The Interborough's Necessity is the result of increased oper- ating costs and a 50% reduction in the purchasing power of the nickel.
The Public's Opportunity is the forthcoming auction sale of the unused real estate belonging to the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. and which must be sacrificed now to liquidate a loan made as of January 1, 1920, to pay the interest due to bondholders. This means that the many valuable properties to be disposed of must be sold for whatever they may bring, regardless of the sacrifice involved. The Interborough Company must sell properties strategically located along the subways, selected long before the effect of rapid transit had become apparent. The Interborough, today, is not in a position to hold this valuable real estate until its possibilities have been realized, and Interborough Real Estate must be sacrificed at ABSOLUTE PUBLIC AUCTION Valuable Properties—Adjacent to Subway Stations 98 Broadway Lots 92 Broadway Lots On the east side of Broadway at 218th St., 219th On the west side of Broadway at 238th St, 239th St. and 220th St., Ninth Av. and on the Ship Canal.
