SHARP POLIS TO WIN FRANCHISE Tammany Got Busy When the’ Portshester Company Pro- posed to Look Only to Repub- licans and Fusionists. SULLIVANS INTERESTED ON THE OTHER SIDE. Mayor. It Is Predicted, Will Sign Grant After Public Hearing, with Stipulation to Protect! the Bronx, The backers of the New York and Portchester Railway Company, which did not get a franchise from the Boars of Aldermen and those of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, Which did, differ in opinion as to the action of Mayor McClellan after he has heard both sides at the public hearing Wednesday. While it is apparent that the Port- chester people were “thrown down” by the ruling members of the bourd and that extreme favoritism was shown the New York, Westchester and Bos- ton enterprise, there {s no open uccusa- tion that money was paid by the latter company for a franchise, but it {s known that politics and friendshin have had a great deal to do with the action of the leaders of the board in voting the franchise to the West- chester Company, Barring proof of corruption, it ts be- Neved that the Mayor will not veto the franchise if he ts assured that the company now holding the certificate means business. ‘Through Congressman Sullivan and Alderman Timothy P. Sullivan’ the Westchester company was enabled to tain fhe franchise. As the Sullivans y t wood politi of the franchise, It is stated by itn authority that the vetoing power of the Mayor wll not be exercised. And the people of the Bronx are not to be ignored either. Ma HeClelian will demand that he be provided with every asaurance that the company holding the certificate will build within w certain Iimited period. ‘Toward this end he may cause the franchise to be returned to the board with the recom- mendation that a clause be inserted providing for a time-limit tn butlding the road, and the further provision that @ heavy bond must be filed to insure the fullilmentof this condition. ‘The politics of the situntion is int esting. When the original application of the Portchester Railroad Company was filed by Presilent Gottschall ‘Tam- many was desperafely in the minority At reached the ears of the Tamas | Iwiders that the Deinocratic members 6? @ board were to be ignored in the con- | templated passage of the Portcheater | franchise, and that the projectors of the id would have nothing to do with many, but would took exclusively to the Republican and fusion members, With the knowledge of these stories | Taromany ht busy. Deals were made tn the Board. Fusion members were won over to Tammany by promises galor and Tammany has aince ‘made good." "Tho Sullivans, who are very close to Auigust, Belmont, were encouraged by fail street railroad folk to oppose the ting of the Portchester, franchive r “business and political" reasons, he scheme to present the claims of tho Westchgster concern were then hatching. Tdmmany managed to stall action on the Portchester franchise Until the Westchester project was ready an It fs now stated that August Belmont | was the actual owner of the old West- ‘ohester franchise, he having purchased from Willlam i, Van Pelt, who pur- ed the franchise rights and title @f the old Westchester Company at a ¢ STANDARD OIL FAS $16,000, 000START but Total May Be Larger.
