half of dollars do not know a to the property Of the

contract by grantees 20 omnibus propetos to pay
latter s450O0O lObiected To by Mr. Van Buren, any

10y M Van Buren, but allowed by the Judge related 10
the que.non ct hvoriism II was understood by the
Committee before r. p ring
The intention take al the omuibuses from the
street fhe plan that pisssnge for cents could
be- set down within two blocks of any house the city
Ny recollection Is that there but names ~ the
petition when frst ssw In the office ~ the clerk Of the
Conn Council. hut am satisfied mus, have been mis-
sken asked for II 10 who wrote the body Of the pc
ttion Believe Mr. Freeman Campbell concerned 10
the Erie road when went Goshen The night the grant
accepted do not know that anything was said By
grantees about expected injuries At the time. njunc
ton had been frequently threatened before that night
acquainted with Broadway il overcrowdsd and daily
sfd almost hourly ammed much below the Park rs 70
render possible for sny Of the vehicles TO pass til
finally they gradually work themselves through Think
railroad would benefit travel IN the street make the street
attractive and the value of property enhanced have
no doubt but railroad would be be efcial 10 the upper
part If the city, and to he city generally the lines
Of stages would bring great number Of people Brod
nay who would not 9th ryi-e Thsrs but few
Wholesale stores il Broadway Is used mostly EDr retail
and hoels and places Of amusement aud above
FouTihst much for private residences There arc no
Kind Of buildings on Broadway where carts continually
required except the Wholesale stores most Of the hote
have rear entrances
Gross exam ined by Mr. Van Buren-A Treasurer vag
elected Immediately after getting the grant the 30 shares
divided into leo shares 4 had n mucb
discussed $50 money paid 10 get Subscribers 10 De-
ons most OF the money paid ont 10 the newspapers
for publishing communication signed Pro Bono Publ
co; two plans on working models showing the track
broadway procured do not know Of the employment
Of any other cOuGssl bat Mr Field do recolec any
other money than have mentioned paid except 10
man named Dawson, who employed aud re-
ceved pay clerk any Of the other grantees could have
pad ont money without my knowing it Mr.. Sharpe
he active person 10 the matter then Mr. Menzies
Mr Anderson, Mr. OSnlliyan and Hr Campbell, DO not
know that Mr Reynolds took any active part.
BY Judge-Mr Field said the six lines bought have
2s Onbibuses the whole Of the lines censed 10 coms
into any part Of Broadway owery and other Iines have
500 omBibuses Il il intended 10 buy the six lines and
expect 10 get rid Of I'll the rest
BY Mr. Van Buren-Tbe intention 30 have two
story there arrangement 10 prevent the ON
nj uses not brought out continuing in the streets suppose
e Second Third and Oher Avenue Kairo ads would pur
chase other lines and supply their place II the Mayor did
not think the Omnbuses wanted he would not license
hem do not suppose the would lessen the number OF
carts Of private carriages Broadway there being
greater facilities Of passing by Withdrawing the omni
buses the private travel would probably be increased tho
carts would have to get out Of the way Of think
railroad in street IL occasional annoyance but the
benefit is greater than the injury think VaFck st. Is I'M
proved by The raj road track in Il the property on the
has been estimated 10 be worth more account Of
the railroad know who drew up the Report OF the
Committee Of the Board Of Aldermen, heard Mr. Hilton
IMr Field objected a. Mr. Hilton be said has stated
good many things which ought not 10 be repeated any
where.
