9 ' 1 arguments for and agnlnst the motion woro
B j ( mado by Sir. Shepard and Sir. Zabrlskle re-
H (I poctlvely.
B Y Since they occupied the position of dofondanta,
W. counsel In opposition to tho motion wore beard
ME first. Sir. llralnord inude the first argument.
Wk Regarding tho plans and estimates of tho ItapiJ
BV 7 Transit OommUsloners' engineer, 'William Bar-
H cly Parsons, ho said:
Hp 1 1 " It Is not necessary, ovon If wo wished, to say
Hr If s word in disparagement of tho ability and pro-
jHy y fesslonal learning of tho chief engineer of the
H"' Itapld Transit Commission. But wo do say that
H the engineering portion of this project does not
!aeem to be thoroughly nnd adequately worked
out. In the first placo, this has been dono by
one man tbo chief engineer Mr. Parsons. It
. la a very doubtful proposition on tho faueot
HJr it that any one man has a mind broad enough
B and thorough enough to comprehend and digest
Hr this entire plan, and work out all Its rnmtlled
H details In advance. There. is tho problem of ex-
H) r cavutlon, with nil tho variations of soil, met and
Hr - t dry, from quloksand to bedrock. Tho opponents,
KSv engineers say the burings havo bcon Insufficient
ma to give an approximate idea of tbo character of
Hji jjjr the toll, nnd were made by n method which pre-
M-ci 11 eludes all test of the dryness or wetness of soil.
Mm',! Then follow other problems tho remnvnl of
MJ7 I pipes, sustaining tho earth, building walls that
HfC A will stand tho pressure nnd weight and bo
UW" fl protectod against all tho danuers of corrosion,
H rooting the tunnel, lighting, ventilating, drnln-
u I j Ing. conttructiou of tho roaitbod, slzo nnd weight
HTj( !' f the ours, sele tlon of power, and all tho imrl
f iJr oacles and peculiarities of tho business of oper
I if atlng tho railroad itself. It is almost lnipossi bio
lav fli that any one mlud.no matter bowcomulolely
HI stored with the science of engineering, though
Hi I'.! I penetrating and thorough bynnluroand ripened
H'f 1 "J szperienco, can comprehend this cntlro pro
H I cot and present apian tlgurod out so completely
Wt'Jt i that there shall be no danger of unforeneen dim
HV I cullies making a wreck of the enterprise when
Hd 1 haifclane.
W7 1 "For tho prosont plan Mr. Parsons has had
Hi I1' figures vorltled and eomo of them prepared
HI i by subordinates In his otllce acting under his dl-
HB J reotlont. Oroat engliieering enterprises aro not
Hj." t. started In that way; it is not safo to ti eat them
Hr ii In that way. When the Grand Trunk Hallway
Hat l Company built ihe Victoria Bridge across tho
ti 1, 8t. liawrenco at Montreal, thoy had three con-
HB '' V tractors, of whom Sir. Thomas Brusscy was one.
JH"'-1 I The ooD?ractor had their on n independent en-
BBS"7" f ffinenr, James Hodges, and tbo consulting on-
HiC Ii Blneeyf.vtere Hobort Stephouson and Alexander
HBrl l Xlackenxlo Hos.
HBli I ) " When tho Britannia and Conway bridges
QHT ill were built, ltobert Htepbenson, Sir. Fnirburn,
Hil in Hr. Uodgkinson, and Edwin Clark wero cm-
j) ' ployed to uiuLo tho calculations in Clio various
Hfi Separtments. After Sir. Stephenson's talcula-
Mi tloos as to the strengthening of tho Ironwork
IBl and the arches were comploted, as he testihed
ill before the committee of the House of Commons,
Hi be went over them carefully with Sir. Falrburn,
Hd whose experience In that department was
S -eater than that of uny other man in England,
en. Basley examined the tlrBt plan and re-
HJ; iected It, examined the second nnd approved lr.
MR; I Blr John Ilennlo spent two days nt Slennl Strnlt
HI" I and Britannia Hoik carefully consider! g tbo
R! I site, cbletly with a view to thoeiTcu of the pro-
HH I posed bridge upon navigation, and a longer ro-
HE I port than his was afterward mado by Capt.
HR I vldal discussing' t e effect of tho prooosed
H 1 bridge upon the eddies and currents.
HR I "In tho construction of our own magnificent
HBr I Washington Bridge across tbo Harlem River
HB I there were tbrcoconsultlngenginccrsemployed,
Hal' 'Y. one of whom was Prof. Charles . Brush of tho
Hal1 ' New York Unlvorslty. wio in the greater part
'9H- iff of bis professional life had given attention par-
HH'yVTt tloularly to brldgo building, aud another wub
HHigSnn -at Ir. Cooper." , ,
HPasti' I S Besides this. Sir. Bralnerd argued at length the
N'T1 ( following other points: Tho report of the com-
Hjl 11 x2 mission indicates on inadequate appreciation of
HjY'K the seriousness of tho project. (U) This project
Hv'H would Impose on tho boroughs of Brooklyn,
MAlIB Queens and Itlchmond u liability for at least
amw'wH 812,000,000, without their consent and to their
Hb7. ILiw detriment. (3) Tho reDort, so far as it relates
Hf lf! to the constitutional debt limit, is an effort to
Hfi V avoid tho Constitution, nnd it Is contrary to
Hr ,fW prudent tlnanceerlng. (1) A moral question Is
mm-lll I Involved, In that It is not good business moral
Ism' tty todlsre ard and deny doDts amounting to
Wull I millions of dollars, because the city has plans
Will (or paying them by assessments, dock rentals
nv una tne snio or lands.
Hf Mr. Zabrlskle mado the principal and closing
am" argument agulnst the motion. Ills first point
HE' i Wat a complete surprise both to the Court and
HJ to the opposinu counsel. "This court," said be,
HJ "has no power to authorlzo the construction
HJ and operation of tho proposed rapid transit
HJ railway under consideration, for tho reuson that
Hf tbo plans nnd conclusions of tho Board of Itapld
JH. Transit Railroad Commissioners have never
Hat I been legally consented to and adopted by tho
HJf ) I Common Council of tho city of New York."
HL 1 1 To prove the point. Sir. Zabrlskle said:
HJt I "The Itapld Transit law provides that tbo
Hr ) Rapid Transit Commission may, upon its own
HJ) . motion, aud must, upon tho rc'tuest of tlio local
(HrV . authorities, proceed to consider und determino
Hfc.- .I whether It is for the Interest of the public und
HB III the city that a rapid tranBlt railway, or rail.
HF lis wayt, for the conveynnco and transportation of
.)! persons and property should bo established
HK I ibertln. If the Commissioners determino that
HJl' II it Is necessary, the law makes It their duty to
H 1 proceed to determino and establish tho route or
WSJ routes theieof und the general plan of construe-
Hf. tlon. Tho law then requires that, after any do-
Hl. termination hy tho board of any such routo or
Hf,. routes, nnd of any general plan of construct Ion
HJh such railway or rallnajs, tbo board shall
HJl transmit to tho Common Council a copy of said
HF plant and conclusions as adopted. Then the law
Hj reads:
Hj "It shall be tbe duty of such Common Conn-
Wt ell, upon recel lug sueli copy of said plana und
mt conclusions, toaupoint nduy, not less thun one
tm weeknor morotliun lendujs after the receipt
raw thereof, for the consideration of such plans and
conclusions; und tbo said Common Council shall,
on tho day to fixed, proieed with tho considera
tion thereof, and may coiillimo and adjourn such
consideration from iliuu to ilmo. until n Unnl
n-at-v i Tpte shall botuktn theiion, as liercln ifter pro-
HL Tided, Vt ithiu four weeks after t tie copy of
WST 'f puch plans and tonelusluiiB, adopted by tho

cil appointed Starch 0 as the day appointed for
tbo consideration of the. plnnj and conclusloni
of tbe board, they nnpolntrd aday leu than one
week iiftrr the receipt thereof."
Sir. Ziibrlskio elaborated this point at consid
erable, length, quoting n great number of au
thorities to sustain the contention. When ho
had concluded, ho staled nine other points to
how why tho motion should not be confirmed.
In arguing tbeso points, Sir. Zabrlskle dis
cussed the cost of building nud oporatlng
tho road, nnd attempted to show that
tho proceeds would not pay tho rost of
building nnd operating. Ho attempted to
show that tho road would eoit much more than
tho estimated cost, and, ns It secmod, riddled
Sir. Pitrsoni's estimates. Then ho went Into n
dlsciiKBlun nf thu debt limit of tho city, to show
that by tbo terms of tho Constitution the city
catitiolunoril to build tlio road. All of tlio hot
inno points mndo In his argument bcioro tlio
Court Sir. Zabrlskle had already touched upon
In his argument before thu special commis
sioners uppolnlcd by the Court.
It was shortly after 'J o'clock whon Sir. Bhep
ard began his argument In support of tho mo
tion. After giving tho history of tho proposed
road counsel compared tho plans of tho road
proposod In 1RPT and those of thoToid proposed
now. He showed tbe differences nnd Insisted
that at tho cstlumto given tlio city could build
tbo road according to tho plans now proposed.
Then ho rcferrod to tbo oupodltion to tho plan
nnd said that tho property represented in oppo
sition hnd mi assessed valuation of I?'-', 17 1,(100,
while tbo property represented in favor of tho
scheme Is assessed nt $a,IMM!2.20O.
Mr. Shepard argued that tho rond Is n publlo
necessity nnd assorted that It would surnly pay.
In proof of this he quoted the testimony of n
number of exports and, by comparison with
other roads, not underground, attempted to
show that thcro could bo no doubt on
this point. Mr. Shopard dovotcd murh time
to a discussion ot tho financial ability of
tho city to build tho road and of the consti
tutional restriction in refcrenco to the debt
limit. Ho admitted that tbn city could not build
tho rond for the amount estimated, and, at the
samo tlnio, comploto tho marly other Improve
ments already begun or In ciintimplatlou. Ho
insisted, howover, Hint many of the other lm
pro omenta were of minor Importance ai com
pared Willi the undcrgiound road, and that tbo
olhor public Improvements nil of them. If ncccn
siry should be put aside, In ordor that tho un
derground road mlitht bo built.
Sir. Shop ird concluded his argument by stat
ing that if tho court did nut order this road
built the city could have no additional rnpid
transit for years to come, Inasmuch as tho llnpld
Transit Cominlsiioner had detieed tlio only
possible scheme fornddltlonil rapid transit fur
the present city. Sir. Iloardman mado a short
nrrfiimint lo prure thu fallacy ot tho estimates
of nil tho onglneura who looked over tho plans,
except those of Sir. Parson.
Pending the decision o' their case In court
tha Itapld Trap 1 1 Commissioner neked the
Board i f Estimate ycBterdav for $7,000 to nil
vert Isa for bids for constructing tho hoWlu tbo
ground. Thin was considered rather prematuro
nud tbev did not get the money. They got
1-1,178 for otbor expenses.
nooToits scoiti: ur.At.ru hoard,
alleged Inrrlneraent or Their Itlshli Dis
cussed by the County Medical Society.
Tho subjoct of tho abuses of medical charities
furnished two hours of lively discussion for
members of tho County Slcdloal Society at Its
annual meeting last night at tho Acndcmy ot
Medicine. The new President, Dr. Arthur Slid
dlcton Jacobus, opened the gato of criticism In
his inaugural address by scoring certain
methods of the Board of Health, and protesting
that It was surely exceeding its functions by
gradual and Invidious encroachments on publio
rlshts.
"Ab tho spokesman for 2,600 reputable phy
sicians of this city," he continued, "we con
demn tha freo vaccination and the Inspection
and examination of school children for conta
gious diseases or dofoctlve vision, &c regard
less of the wealth of their parents or the rights
of tho family physician or othor practltlonor;
to the over-Increasing control, segregation, and
freo treatment in publio Institutions and else
where of patients suffering from ovon ordinary
infectious diseases which any physician of to
day Is fully competent to quarantine nnd treat
at home In most instances, nnd that, too, with
out tho frequent officious visits and criticism of
the depnrtmontinspoctor or other employee.
"It may well be asked by what right In law
or equity does the Health Department or Its
physicians presume to treat disease in publio
institutions or elsewhere, nnd In some Instances
attempt to dictate or to discredit the diagnosis
of the condition or tho treatment of patients
under the aire of a licensed practitioner,
not only In private life, but In public institu
tions also. If the afllicted persons are poor and
in need ot hospital care, they should be treated
llko other poor patients, by the physicians of tho
various publio institutions under the care of the
Commission! rs o; Charities. It they are well-to-do,
then they should ho treated bv the privato
practitioner at home, or in a secluded publlo or
private hospital. If need be, and pay for the
services rendered."
President Jacobus recommended the thorough
investigation by tbe Conimitteo on Legislation
of the County Society of tbo exact rights of the
Health Board, with a view of securing legisla
tive relief of alleged abuses, and urged that the
society, in co operation with other Interested
toclotics, should use all possible legal intluenco
to induce tbe Legislature to amend tho law
which, ho said, disfranchises nnd excludes the
members of tbo medical profession from tho
chief exocutlvc post in the lloalth Department.
President Jacobus's criticisms ot tho Health
Board were applauded with groat heartiness,
nnd upon motion he appornte I Dm. Satter
tbwaite. Itndden. A. Jacob!, Prof. Plffard, and
A Smith ncoininittoaodook into tho subjoct.
Provident Jacobus hnd scarcely finished whon
Dr. F. It. Sturgls roused n fresh outburst of
hearty band-clapping by Introducing n resolu
tion requesting the Committee on Legislation of
tho society to attend tbe next session of tho
Board of Estimate to protest agnlnst tho appro-
frlation of publlo moneys to private charities,
t was carried unanimously, amid great ap
plause. Dr. James Ilatrley Burtenshaw road
the draft ot n now dispensary bill, designed lo
put a stop to tho nbure nf the service In free dis
pensaries hy those persons who were able to pay
for treutmont.
