only practicable way for connecting the
Long Island and Pennsylvaaia railroads was
by the tunnel and that tbe tunnel plan
could Bot be- entered upon unless ths fran
chises were grsnted permanently. "For the
construction of this tunnel, be said, "the
Pennsylvania company haa already acquired
real estate to the value of more than
$6,000,000, and for the completion of tbe lm
provements the expense will be close to or
beyond $40,000,000."
John R. Dos Pasos. counsel for ths New
Tork A New Jersey Railroad company; Jef
ferson M. Levy and there spoke ia favor
of tbe proposition, ssylng the tunnal was a
necessity for tbe city of New York.
Alexander E. Orr, president of the Rapid
Transit commission, opposed the bill as
passed by. the legislature, but said the
members of tbe commission favored the
entry of the Pennaylvanla Into New Tork
by means of a tunnel.
Edward M. Shepard. counsel for tbe Rapid
Transit company, aald tbe measure. In Its
present form, would make the city subordi
nate to the power of the. railroads.
Under the provisions of the bill, Mr.
Shepard contended, that the possibilities of
ths Pennsylvania for good were large, but
Its possibilities for evil, he argued, were
everlasting.
At the'- conclusion of the hearing tbe
mayor said hs believed that much of tbe
criticism of the mesaure proceeded from
misrepresentation. Ho asked that the
Rspld Transit commission, if It so desired,
should submit any alternative to him by
tomorrow, so that he could act on It by
Monday.
The bill as It passed ths legislature, em
powers the Board of Aldermen, to grant in
perpetuity franchises for tunnel railroada
extending to points outsids the city with
out action by the Rapid Transit commis
sion. The commissioners' oojected upon the
ground that la its existing shape the meaar
