Let \mathfrak A be a type 1 subdiagonal algebra in a σ-finite von Neumann algebra \mathcal M with respect to a faithful normal conditional expectation Φ. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for which \mathfrak A is maximal among the σ-weakly closed subalgebras of \mathcal M. In addition, we show that a type 1 subdiagonal algebra in a finite von Neumann algebra is automatically finite which gives a positive answer of Arveson's finiteness problem in 1967 in type 1 case.
