THE POO It OLD CJTY
CHARGED FOR WIRING
Grade Crossing* Commission
Certified Queer Claims.
Among the claims against the city certi
fied to by the Brooklyn Grade Crossing
Commission in connection with the work
cT abolishing grade crossings along the
lines of th« Long Island Railroad and the
Brooklyn Heights Railway, in the Bor
ough of -Brooklyn, aggregating $225,000,
Tvhion former Controller Metz refused to
pay. on the ground that the city .was being
assessed for more than Us legal share of
the cost of the work, are a number from
\.i ious ~*strrft railway companies for the
cott of moving and providing facilities for
electric wiring interfered with by the im
provement work.
These claims were certified to under an
opinion of the Corporation Counsel's office,
to the effect that" all changes in the wiring
and tracks of street railway and other pub
lic pervi. c corporations made necessary in
the carrying cut of the grade crossing
elimination wcik should be borne one- half
by the city an.' one-half by the railway
companies along whose lines the crossings
•were being abolished.- thus relieving the
street. railway and other public service cor
porations of all costs In the matter.
The Controller in April. 1307. asked . the
Corporation Counsel's office for a review of
: this opinion for the purpose of securing
some modification in the Interests of "the
city, and pointed out that heretofore pub
lic service corporations had freely made
such changes 'it ' their own expense when
such changes were rendered necessary by
public improvement works.
Accompanying the request for a review
-of th* legal opinion given by the Corpora
tion Counsel's office in this connection the
Controller forwarded a report from his
engineers dealing with the merits of the
case, 3 his report stated that under the
opinion of ti.e Corporation Counsel bills
w«c betec submitted for moving and pro
viding facilities for electric wiring owned
by public service corporations which were
Interfered with by the work of the jm
vr'vemeut. and that other bills would be
presented later on under the same opinion
for the caring for and reconstruction . of
tracks of street railway companies where
temporary or permanent changes were nec
essary to advance the work of the im
provement or to meet changes In street
grades. .
The grade crossing law", says the report,
provides that where the work of elimi
nating grade crossings interferes with or
rendei * necessary changes in the location
of water mains, pipes or. sewers. . such
changes shall be made by the city depart
ment having charge of the same in such a
manner as not to interfere with the grade
crossing work Th cost of making such
changes shall be borne either jointly jj by
the city an j the railway companies or
wholly by the city, as the, Grade Crossing
< *o:nnr,fsion shall determine, but in the
case of its being necessary .to change the
location of any gas pipes, the cost of mak
ing the changes shall borne solely by
the corporation owning the same. .".-..
WHAT THE ENGINEER SAID.
Commenting upon the law and the opin
ion of the Corporation Counsel thereon, the
engineer's report states: "d" d
Because of the exclusion- in' the law of all
reference *o . utilities other than" water
mains, sewers and gas pipes, the Corpora
tion Counsel has advised in the case of
electric wiring that the expenses of such
changes should be made a charge against
The joint account, one half of which is pay
able by the city and the other half by the
railway companies along whose lines' the
work is being carried on. thus relieving the
owning public service corporations of all
costs in the matter. •
To my mind the failure to especially
recognize and provide in the law for th«
utilities omitted indicates an intent that the
usual procedure, in handling such utilities
shall z>* followed where these are inter
fered with in the course, of a public im
provement. These companies are operating
generally under a franchise conferred by
the city. Heretofore, in cases of the carry
ing out of public works or to meet legally
made changes in grade or alignment of
streets, the work of changing their facili
ties has been performed without question at
the expense of the companies owning the
same.
The law authorizing this improvement
confers upon the Grade Crossing Commis
■ sion the right to alter grades of all streets
Intersecting the railways along which the
work is being carried- on wherever neces
sary to carry out the object. '.n view, and it
would appear incumbent upon all public
service companies to care for and shift
thfir constructions, as under ordinary pro
cedure, nothing appearing in the law to the
contrary thereon.
ANOTHER PROTEST.
In Slav. IWT. the Controller again com
municated with the Corporation Counsel,
protesting against the manner in which the
city was being assessed for grade' crossing
work being done uj-on the' Bay Ridge
branch of the Long Island Railway, under
the. opinion of the Corporation Counsel's
office. He forwarded another supple
mentary report from his engineers, illus
trative of the manner in which the city
was being, assessed for work claimed by the
Grade Crossing Commission to be man
datory under previous legal opinions, and
asked for a prompt review of these opinions
on the ground that he believed that the city
was being greatly overcharged. j
The engineer's report which accompanied
this request for a review says:
Supplementary to my report of January
21. IW7 [summarized in yesterday* Trib
une] concerning work now in progress un
der the supervision of the Brooklyn Grade
dossing Commission, which was? referred
by you to the Corporation Counsel, I sub
iriit the following report further illus
tiativ* of the way in which bridge and
.masonry construction . costs have been
charged against* the city under the legal
opinion of the Corporation Counsel.
The present railway, from Bay Rlsge to
the Quepns- Borough line.* ten miles, con
fist? of but two tracks. On the part of
the line from the Manhattan Beach junc
tion to the Queens Borough line, six miles,
the railway company is laying ■. two addi
tional tracks, making a four-track railway,
being In reality a continuation of the con
templated New York Connecting Railway
extending from the Queen's Borough line
to Bronx: Borough.'
• Under the opinion of the Corporation
Counsel, that the entire right of way width
must be elevated or depressed,- a finished
roadbed of such width as Is necessary for
a four-track installation is bein*; graded.
Masonry walls and bridges are being erect
ed K'jJlicient for such increased trackage.
The entire cost of this work is being made,
a joint charge, one-half payable by the city
and the other by the railway company, ex
,«>it land charges for additional right of
•way wh.(>- such constructions overlap the
• roperty width.
Over this part of the line "bridge struct
ures IS feet 9 inches In width would have
1 *-c\. «»rr^?ary to carry the formerly exist
srg railway over intersecting streets; now,
l>*cause of the • i.moii of trackage, all
then; ridges will have, to be of a width
of 'Ji- feet ■ Uicho. As a consequence, th«
city is being compelled to pay haJf the
* x,\\Tt- co^t of the^e bridge structures, whkh
are I<> feet 3 inches wider than .the struct
ure which would have beet! necessary .to
carry the • tracks 'of the railway, at the
time" the Smprovemt-nt work was authorized
by a Jaw designed bolely to remove grade
crossings. ' • . ■ ■
I would recommend that the Corporation
Counsvl be ;-*-quested to advise you m to
toe right of the Brooklyn Grade Crossing
Commission •<• provide, roadbed or . bridge
isu-uctures and make these a joint charge
against the ci»y to any- extent beyond the
railway's present facilities for doing busl
ness.

EASTERN DISTRICT ROUSED.
Will Enlist Private Capital to Build
Subway if Necessary.
Prominent residents of the Eastern Dis
trict who- Indorse the plans of the Eastern
District Subway League attended a meet
ing last night at No. 759 Metropolitan ave
nue, at which the president of the organi
zation, Ernest Gilmore Gardner, spoke
glowingly of the prospects of the league
nnd referred with much enthusiasm to the
kindly reception the organization received
from PubJle Service commissioners.
"The recent snowstorm has demonstrated
more forcibly than ever the need of bet
ter transit connections with the rest of the
city." he said. "The t!:n.- lias arrived when
we must act. The Public Service Commis
sion has pointed out to us that, while we
offer a businesslike plan and one that will
receive their full consideration, yet the
city's. money is vrellniKti exhausted, and if
no help comes from the city we must either
do without a subway >>r look to private
capital or .assessment methods for construc
tion and operation In order that there may
i,.-- no excuse for not securing a subway, !
have be**;) Intcrviewlnc prominent business
men and other financial Interests, and they
express their willingness to co-6perat« with
us in an* plausible plan we may offer. 1
nave, I believe, enough capital pledged to
proceed with the formation of a company
which will Italy to the Public (Sendee Com
mission and Board of Estimate for a fran
chise to construct and operate the subway
system this organization favors."

COPPER MERGER PLANNED.
Amalgamated and Cole-Ryan Interests
to Consolidate.
Negotiations are under way, it was said
in well informed quarters yesterday, look
ing to the consolidation of the Butte cop
per properties controlled by the Amalga
mated Copper Company and Cole-Ryan in
terests. The consolidation will include the
Boston and Montana, North Butte, Rutte
Coalition. Butte and Boston, Washoe, Tren
ton and Anaconda copper companies and
the coal and lumber properties of the Amal
gamated and the Great Falls and^iVashoe
smelters. The combined output of the
companies mentioned is dose to 300,000, u00
pounds of copper a year.
The plan proposed tor the consolidation
of these various companies, it is said, pro
vides for the formation of a new company
which will offer to buy the properties and
not the shares of the concerns it is pro
posed to take over. The Amalgamated
Copper Company, under the plan, is to take
pay for its properties in the shares of the
new company, giving it complete control
of the new concern. The idea of offering
cash, or stock in payment for the operating
concerns, it is said, is to avoid any objec
tions which minority stock holders might
offer to tht plan.
BIG BREAK IN COTTON.
Prices Fall More than 60 Points in Last
Half Hour of Trading.
There was a sensational break in the cot
ton market in the last half hour of the ses
sion yesterday, prices dropping more than
60 points, or $3 a bale, from the high point
of the day, and the decline ending only with
the close of the market. May, which has
been selling well above 16 cents since
Christmas, led the break, dropping from
16.24, the high point of the day, to 15.60,
a decline of 64 points, or $3 20 a bale. Th*
other active options also slumped in sensa
tional fashion. July showing the . biggest
loss in the whole list— 66 points, or $3 30 a
bale.
The break was due to enormous liquida
tion by Wall Street houses and bear pres
sure, following reports of an unsatisfactory
demand for spot cotton in the South. On
the way down many stop loss orders were
uncovered, which aided in the demoraliza
tion of the market, and the downward
movement, once begun, was continued un
checked until the dope, which was at the
lowest point of the day.
