Evidence

The doors remained closed for more than four hours. When they opened, and the Board filed back onto the horseshoe dais, it approved unanimously the expenditure of 16,000,000 for the Circumferential Parkway—and, to enable the city to spend the money, eliminated from the list of previously approved projects 8,000,000 worth of schools and hospital improvements, 5,000,000 in subway extensions and 3,000,000 in other projects. — Robert A. Caro, The Power Broker, 2733
