The SIXTH AVENUE RAILRoAD.-The
Board of Assistant Aldermen especially called upon
to prevent the absurd and runous change Of route In
this important road which the Aldermen have lately
adopted Why any body could possibly leave the easy
and natural route through varick and Carminest
(wlere all the corners but would be turned upon
obtufe angles of long curves and also the toerable
route through Thompson and Fourteenth sts) and try
to force cars from Carmne into Bleeckers in place
extremely narrow and the channel of an immense
amount of traveand further to get into and out of
Canas by an acute angle difficult aud dangerous turn
no outside of the tearoom can tell the Assistants
have proper regard for the convcnenss of the people
and the usefulness of the Road they will insist upon the
varick and Carminest route The property owners
in Beeckerst justly indignant at the attempt to put
the rails down at the and difficult place to which
we have alluded. Bleecker-st IL there only 25 feet
inches wide between the curb stones and the turning
of cars in and out would ruin 1t for ell other travel
The Road has been violently and desperately opposed
ever since the idea was first preached by certain resi-
dents of the Fifteenth Ward who able to ride in
their own carriages and can't what the people want
of railroads to choke the streets and spoil the pave
rnents But the Road chartered In spite of these
enemies and trust they will not be allowed to
spoil 1t by crowdng it into places where no one
asked to have 1t 60.
Let the Company and the Aldermen stick to the Var
ck.st route and they will do the people service Buff
that route cannot be hadf the humbug argument that
in Varickst the road will interfere with another road
not yet built and that quite possibly never will be- Is to
hold good--then stick to the Thompson and Fourthst
route and do MT let the personal interests of the Alder
man and Assistant of the fifteenth Ward Doth of whom
unfortunately live in Fourth-st) prevail to do great
damage to the road and the City Messrs Ward and
Barker ought to remember that Fourths made for
the people at large, and not exclusively for them
A HUNDRED THOUSAND At A Dash
On Friday night the Aldermen rushed through the New
Potters Field Bill, whereby the City against reason
justice and the will of the peope) is made to pay fifteen
hundred dollars per for sixtynine acres of the
rocks and salt marshes of Wards Island; in ALL Sl03
500 When the principal is to be paid, and where it is
to come from, we cannot say but probably these re-
form fnanciers will borrow the money from the owner
of the lands, and Issue "potters Field Six Per Cents
No. l." Four years ago. the City purchased the whole
of Rsndals Island for 1902 per acre-less than third
of this leland price, and great deal better land
II really seems az If the present Co nmon Council upon
the occasion of veto reenacted these outrageous laws
lust to show their contempt for the Chief Magistrate
and his opinions. They win have reckoning with the
people one Of these days.
w The Sunday Times publishes case
of rowdyism which should be glad for the sake of the
City, TO believe exaggerated but there is room left
for doubt The case is detailed by the writer as fol-
lows:

this information he was again attacked. and was Obliged
to shut up bis store three times in one day. This affair
assumed very serious aspect and OF the alternatives 10

We need not repeat what every one knows, that these
