1 COMPAL TO lg 11TH AVE ~TMPROVEMEN "Ready to Spend Millions, but on Plans of Their Own. ") General Counsel Ira A. Place, for tthe New York Central & Hudson River Ralroad Company. declared to-day that the company will feht the bill re- quiring the removal of Its tracks in Eleventh avenue, which was signed last fight by Gov. Higgins. He said the bill is tmoractionble and iso that it was introduced as a poltti- eal emergéncy act and is unconstitu- ‘tonal. ‘At the same time he admitted a change is imperatively necessary, and aid that the company has already prepared plans involving the expendi- ture of $40,000,000 to $60,000,000 to so- in a better way what the People of New York have been Mmanding for thirty years, and Tegislature ordered done in the just approved by the Mayor and Governor. General Counsel Place has opposed the Ml since it was introduced before ery body which has had it under con- sideration ,and he contends that his ar guments have been admitted to be gound by the Mayor, a3 well as the Governor. He saye that the Governor, (3, alga the bill, itted that in'is uncon; Bflutional. or at Teast doubtful, and ‘asserts positively that he will not ‘allow his company to spend any money on guch a plan unless the highest courts 4 the land shall sustain the act, which he does not believe can be done. “I am willing to admit that some- thing {s necessary to insure public safety on that line,” said Mr. Place. That goes without argument. I have always thought the same way, and the company has always been Willing to do_what it could. oT Gave /tiere plans that fave, been prepared recently by our engineers fyhich will meet every possible objec- tion, and which, when carried out, swould put the entire system from Spuy- ten Duyvil to St. John's Park where it fwould be of the greatest possible efM™- clency and avold every objection that fhas ever been made. This plan would Anvolve the expenditure of $0,000,000 to $60,000,000, but we were ready to spend @he money for the good of the city and the improvement of our service. Says It Is Impossible. ~ “Now this legislation comes uv and are blocked. I do not mean by that we will fight the principle for which re contending, the bill the ie i ut I'mean that we ‘will be obliged to | og fight the attempt to make us do an Gmpossibility, for I am sure it is an Smpossibility for the company to do What is wequired in the way laid lown.”* “Does your compgny propose to sub- mit the plan wilelt you mention as a wubst! for the plan mentioned in he was x t say as to that now,’ said . We are ready to do what and we want to consider the first, but we are under the neces- publi aity now of meeting a very complicated ina menner that is adinit- fed by the Sena: introduced the bi} to be impracticable. "The Mayor admitted when he signed! the bill that it was objectionable, and mow the Governor admits practically ‘that he believes it to be unconstitutional, ‘This leaves us with conditions to meet that will reauire litization in any event. Legal Fight Anyway. ‘We will, of course, try to get at gomething with the Rapld-Transit Com- mission, but {t does not seem probable that we will be able to reach an axrec- ment that will be satisfactory to all and At the same time protect the company.” “Does not the bill provide that the -elty shall condemn and take over the company's rights tn case an agreement ia pot Teached within a year?” he was “Yes, there {s a provision to that ef- fect, but that stands or fails with the rest of the bill, and may well be con- sidered as one of the constitutional ob- Jections. / "The city can hardly find it to tts ad- vantage to take any such drastic meas- . ures even if the act Is finally sustained, ‘The New Y: y kevt freteht rates down and added in- calculable wealth to the city, It has ‘been worth billions to the city.” TEWKESBURY’S WIFE ‘Appeal Is Made to Send Woman Back to England on { Extradition, PARIS, March 2%.—Mrs, Lewis G. ‘Tewkesbury. who was arrested here on fan extradition warrant after she and hher husband had jumped bail in Lon- on last November, was the subject Sf an appeai to send her back to King- fant’to-day on the original charge made ‘inst her.
