OPPOSITION TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF 1HE NINTH AVBNUE RAILROAD. June 20.— Welmore, R. L. & A. Stuart and Hoppock vs. Story, Radford and Murphy.—This action has b-en on trial several days, and is to prevent the construction of the Ninth Avenue Railroad through Greenwich and ‘Waabington streets, on the ground that if built it will destroy the business in those streets; will materially in- terfere with the traffic there; will depreciate rents and value of property; will near affect the butchers and others doing business at Washington Market; and, generally, that it will be a nuisance in those strects. Other objections of a legal character are made to the os of which, however, are contested by the de- jants. ‘The evidence so far introduced Ba Nery plaintiffs has been corn upon the effect the railroad would have im depreciating the rents and valueof the property: snd a to its tendency to destroy the business f ets. James Van Nostracd, President of Merchants’ Ex- change Bank, says it would prevent the present business being a on there, and lessen value of property 25 T cont pene!

Jobn R. Macomb owns 308 Greenwich street; gets $2,500 a year rent for it; the tenant says he will leave if a railroad was laid, apd would not give him $1,500a Jear for the store; if tBe railroad was laid tne business would have toleave; one or the other must give way; property would be cepreciated by it thirty to forty per cen' Bastos Titus ns occupits 283 Washington atreet ae ® cracker and #! bread bakery; would have toleave if the railroad goes through; i ciate property 30 to 40 cent. James H Lyon occupies 199 Washington street, posite Market, as woodenware stcre; pays $2,800 rent; the atreet would not ¢o for their business if the railroad comes in it; would not give within $600 a year as much for the store. Semuel W. Davenport, crockery merchant, at 203 ich snd 174 Washington street; rent $4,000; could not conduct this business with a railroad in these streets; would leave and go elsewhere; rents would be reduced one half by the railroad there; value of property would be reduced in the same proportion, and pleiatitfs would be injured. J. H. Cain—Has leased corner Fulton and Washiog ton streets for nine years; grocer and provision dealer: as lessee would not consent to this railioad for $10,000; it would depreciate rents one half, and lots at least $10,00t each; would injure Hoppock’s lots $7,000 each, and affect the whole street.

Carpenter, cartman, at 196 Greenwich street, could not do the business there if a railroad was im the street; track, besices, is bad for cartmen; there is canes from throwing the horse and wrenching the cart; this often occurs on the other city tracks. John J. Voorhees, cartman for Wetmore & Co., rides heavy iron and casts; railroads have » bad effect on loaded carta; wheels get in the tracks, horses slip, and they and the carts get strained.
