> GHOST OF CRI — BOBSUPINTITH ARENU® FIGHT Central Wants to Build “L” Freight Road On Water Front. OPPOSE SUBWAY PLANS Attorney Declares at Hearing} on Saxe Bill that to Depress Tracks Is Impossible. Hearing on the Stanley-Saxe DM to @epress the tracks of the New York Central Ratirond along Eleventh ave- nue wos held by the Moyor in the Councll Chamber o fthe City Hall to- (ny and over five ‘hundred persons, in- cluding many women, were present. Fifteen minutes had not elapsed defore it became evident the company was ‘willing to do anything in orfer to se- cute a franchise to build an elevated railroad structure on thé avenue, Once secure n that point it would be possible to run the road straight down West sireo: and thus effect the “‘steal* of West street which was attempted a few years ago and which was killed at the time by publicity. Senator Saxe and all who favor the bill, including ihe Mayor, judging by thy attitude he assumed to-day, are unalterably opposed to an “Li* road. The New York Central claims that to build a subway fs an engineering impos- sibility, but it fs elther a subway or Temove the tracks, ror the rght of the company to use the avenue at all is in @erious doubt. The wild statements published recent- ly that {t would cost the city $10,000,000 to condemn the tracts and take back the franchise were made ridiculous by ene of the speakers, wio showed by the sworn statement of the company’s own officers that the franchise ts valued at just $95,000. The hearing was interspersed with a few lively tilts and some cheers, which caused the Mayor to threaten to clear the hall. Subway? Impossible! Tra A. Place, general solicitor of the New York Central, was the first to be heard. He attacked the constitution- ality of the bill becanse It was general in its application, He also sald one clause yested power in the Rapid ‘Tran- sit Commission and another vested it in the Board of Estimate and Appor- tionment. He said it would be Impossible to build @ subway, as the company would be comp: to dig down about twenty feet, wnercas the tracks at present are GAY ton ten to tweve rest above mein ude .
