, Thomas t. Dawes said, are assembled for the pur
pose of approving of the bill passed by the Senate o.
this State ogainst the construction of Railroad in
Broadway Ofthe who got the contract nom the
Common Council To construct this road have not a
word TO say; their character may be good for ought
know There Committee OF she property owners
song Broadway formed examine into the contracts,
nd these men came before us with an offer for three
rek line through ami two outside tracks on each side
hr stopping cars and with fare OF three cents. In
NertpOst made by the Committee they warned the
public about this sort Of line; and the fact was when
The matter came before the Common Council the pro
peers went back on the tw0-track line and five cen,
fare which had long before that been exploded
Woald venture TO say that petition present
cd before the Common Council for grant in the same
form as it had passed the Board. The people of the
City Of New-lork have been greatly imposed on and
SIN hsppy to say they seem, length 20 have discoy
cred the fact rs also have the Legislature at Albany.
Senator Taber ssies, that from calculation he has
made, thai he could afford to curry passengers in
broSdway az cent each and be able 10 pay
TOPPER cent the outfit and tho expenses, even at
be profit OF the taking for basis the profit of the
Tears of the siSthav Railroad which would no, be by
any means fair criterion The persons constructing
srosds IN the country forced 20 pay the persons
bver whose property the track certain sum per
Foot yard or nile, Here in New lork IL would be per
fooi aud If So he oonslere thar what would be re-
fuired for the Broadway Railroad would be worth mil
Fons OF collars If 90 the City h2d a right 10 ms
fmonni OF money, and ,hreecent fare would pay the
Interest ON this and for construction furniture and all
f'her expenses and would give good profit besides
nd At the public could have three cent fare they Rad
r night to. No doubt the late gran, by the Common
Cuuncil was splendid operation and in daeen or six
reen years would have made splendid fortune for all
AOse concerned anaitwss patty to disappoia, them;
ei still the interest Ct the Cry was paramount in the
base, snd the job should be stopped
