section twelve hundred seven-a of this title to purchase cars for the

rapid transit lines of the authority, and by section twelve hundred

agreement the authority may agree to such limitations upon the exercise

of the powers conferred upon it by sections twelve hundred seven-a

through twelve hundred seven-i, inclusive, as the authority in its
