Therefore the Evening World submits to the Mayor and members of the Board of Estimate this question: WOULD NOT THE INTERESTS OF THE CITY BE BETTER PROTECTED IF THERE WAS INSERTED IN THE CONTRACT THIS CLAUSE: ‘ALL CONVEYANCES OF PERMA- NENT EASEMENTS, PERMANENT OVERHEAD, SURFACE AND UNDERGROUND RIGHTS AFFECTING LANDS GRANTED TO THE RAILROAD COMPANY BY THE CITY OF NEW YORK SHALL BE DEEMED SPECIAL FRANCHISES FOR THE PURPOSES OF TAXATION"’? s R vote r $300, bond issues.
