The millions did not represent the putting up of a single dol. ‘lar by McLaughlin, Coffey & Co, They handed Mr. Johnson the right to take the People’s streets and took the $3,553,000 for doing it, just as once before they took $3,000,000 from the promoters of the Union Elevated on precisely the same basis, These several groups of promoters cheerfully gave up millions in potential securities for public rights to a political syndicate that controlled the Aldermanic votes. They will not even pay their taxes to the community, Just as the Metropolitan and Huckleberry roads enriched Croker and, his kind, the Brook. lyn rascals feathered their nests at public expense. Nobody is in jail; nobody is going. They even talk of erecting a statue of McLaughlin.
