In the contract the term road” is used to designate the lines con- structed rallroads" R, by the the and owned B. . It has been contended by those who maintain that the B. R.

But Mr. Goldmark holds this is not true, He says in bis opinion: “Tho diffioulty with this contention Hes in the fact that the New Utrecht Line from the Municipal Building to the Coney Island Terminal {# not en- tirely City-bullt or City-owned, but consists of “Existing Tatlroad” from Avenue Y¥ to the Coney Island Ter. minal, That this is #0, clearly ap- pears from the facts which havo al- ready been set forth “The practical construction of the contract by the parties that the line from Avenue ¥ to the Coney Island Terminal is Existing Railroads and “existing by the city lines its treatment as such from the very | for those who have been muleted of Gus Dreyfus Accused of Stealing inception of the contract, tomether witht he fact that the company has expended money upon that theory with the approval of the Commission, seems to me to preclude giving any weight to the clatm that such portion beyond Avenue Y is other than E isting Railroads if such claim were otherwiso tenable, “Irrespective of these considera- tions it seems to be clear that the construction beyond Avenue Y is not @ part of the rai Article VII. it is provided that such connection be in Heu of the railroad, Article VIL. also refers to it as being a connection ‘which, with the railroad’ shall form a convenient route to Coney Island, From this it seems clear that it would be regarded in any way as part of the railroad.

Hughes, acting as referee, | decided that the 80-cent gas rate as | pplied to the Brooklyn Borough Gas | Company was confiscatory, He fur- ther decided that the 95-cent rate | stablished by the Public Service| Commission up to 1916 was “unfair” to the company, The company at once jumped the rate to $1.25, Justice Bened!ct held that the find- | ings of Justice Hughes relieved the company from muin‘aining the 80- | coht rate, but that the roferce’s de- | j cision did not affect the %5-cent rate | | fixed by the Public Service Commis- | ‘sion prior to 1916, under the law | dimiting the maximum rate to $1. ‘The Corporation Counsel's office and | the Public Service Commission both | asked for an injunction against the $1.25 ra Later counsel for the Public Service Commission consented to the vacating of the injunction and Justice Cropsey withdrew it. The Evening World, which had been following the matter in co-oper- ation with the Corporation Counsel's office, called the attention of Justice Cropsey to the fact that the Corpora- tion Counsel, though a party to the controversy, had not been heard in the matter. Justice Cropsey at once reinstated the injunction and the de- cision of the Appellate Division up- holds him in so doing, Corporation Counsel Burr, whose assistants have, under his direction, been making an aggressive fight against overcharges for gas In South Brooklyn and Sheepshead Bay, has now in preparation an appeal from the decision of Referee Hughes, and also will take steps to determine the authority of the Public Service Com- mission to fix a price for gas in ex- cess of the maximum fixed by law before the passage of the 80-cent gas law. a GREGORY JOINS N.
