16 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.

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."

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.
