Scie dieaeniaiieds Aaaumeanammmemeed aI fs r BONNOLLY RAGES ~TENOBEETINS TORVERSDE PLAN He Asserts Contract With New York Central Is Un- fair to the City. WILL VOTE AGAINST IT. Says Faults Can Easily Be Cured by Simple Legislation. Charging that the proposed con- tract between the city and the New York Central Rallroad in the matter of the west aide project ts inequitable @nd unfair and grants franchises and Privileges to the detriment of the best interests of the city without Proper compensation, Borough Pres!- @ent Connolly of Queens announces that he will vote against the deal. Connolly's opposition will likely be followed by that of other mombers of the Estimate Board, and an Inter- looked for. Yonnolly gives ten ro: sons why he does not believe the E: timate Board should agree to the terms of the present contract. First—He says the elimination of Death Avenue was the primary mo- tive in negotiating with the railroad, He points out that Chief Justice Cullen of the Court of Appeals has decided that the Legislature has full Power to “remove the constant men- @ce and danger to life occasioned by its present operation at grade.” Mt. Connolly therefore opposes granting @ny concession to the railroad to in- duce it to perform an act in pursu- ance of its duty which Chief Justice Cullen held it can be compelled to do without compensation. It ts fur ewontended that the Pstimate Bc under tho statutes of 1847 has full Dower to regulate the grade of the railroad at street crossings and can compel the railroad, without consid- eration, to eliminate such grade cross- ings, Suitablo legislative changes in the raliroad company’s charter would give the city and State more power Yo act. Second—It is charged that the pro- posed contract would give the New York Central an “unassailable fran- ohise to operate a four and six-track | Foad with greatly Increased privileges afd powers for which no adequate Compensation is received by the city, This would be in tieu of its present doubtful franchise to operate two tracks. ITY PLACED IN POSITION OF BEGGAR FOR FAVORS. Third—Tho railroad throughout the Megotiations takes the attitude that the elty 1s begging favors, whereas the city should be the dominant power with the right to dictate terms. | Either by legislative enactment or } resolution of the Estimate Board, the railroad should bo compelled to ‘con form its use tent with the of the public of © Streets consis and sau convenience Fourth—That th A will ac quire valuable rights, privileges anc franchises which are not set fort! mentioned in the report of the Fc of Estimate's committee T Sats do not appear on the face of the agreement clear and explicit language, and which, in my ¢ under said contract will become right. in the railroad.

Sixth—That all liability for the clos- ing of streets and the changing of @rades will fall upon the city or the abutting property owners. Seventh—That while the ratlroad purports to relinquish its surface occupation of the streets betweon Canal and North Moore Streets, it is nevertheless in a position to extend its lines south from Canal Street to Chambers Street, Elghth—That ‘the strategic point south of Manhattan Valley at which @ freight ratlroad operated under- an elevated structure is between Fifty-ninth and Seventy - second | Streets. This site, under the proposed |contract, will be ceded to the rall- | re d, and the city will be forever ed from any economic devel- of its freight and terminal opment facilities. |RAILROAD WOULD SAVE DiG- | GING A $12,000,000 TUNNEL, Ninth—That the railroad, under the proposed contract, would be relie of its obligation to build a_ tunnel under the Harlem River at Spuyten Duyvil and thereby save $12,000,000. | Chapter 777 of the Laws of 1911 re- quires the railroad to submit plans for the construction of a Harlem River tunnel. The contract would substitute a bridge, Mr, Connolly suggests that “a simple amendment jof the charter of the rallroad com- | pany ull that is required to effect direct and complete relief without the expenditure of a dotlar of city money or the sacrifice of a square foot of city land.” Both Judges Bartlett and Cullen have suggested this remedy in ; Death Avenue litigation, he says. | Tenth—The city gives the railroad | the right to close streets merely upon paying the land value of the feo of |said tre President Connolly suggests that the present noise and oror nuisance caused by the railroad along the front of Riverside Drive could be reduced, {f not eliminated, by the | installation of electric motors.
