q X. Fisher exhibited plsus for steam carnage
sno steam omnibus but the Committee did not meet
the proposition with an, favor.
Robert Ba,kley Of the Knickerbocker stage line vas
unfsvorably disposed toward the project of s'opPns
thrae-ouths of his stoges at the PAX. he believed
it would be ipu ous to his interests, aud would not
bring about the relief by the advocates
of the measure. One objection w,s that there vas
no n ON at the Park to allow the horses attached to
too's ss ges which would stop at that point to rest
matter Of eat importance e'pciely 10 hot weather.
Al the South Ferry they stop FIVE or ten minutes to rest
sno cool off; this it could be impossible to 90 at the
Park. TIE new arrangement world cause daily loss
70 the propiietors of from a dollar to a dollar add
haf for each stage.
NJ. Siney Of the BoTery and Houston street line
re ,iked that stage cat of every four OF the $50
etsges that licensed to to the South Ferry we're
soppe stthe Park az the nmee proposed It would
occasion an aggregate loss of 81 eco IN one week He
6iscoursgcd as mnch as possible, the habit which
drivers have of waking their horses in order to secure
more passengers and said he bad discb mged larger
number Of them on that account than any other.
Mr.. Barley raid he was opposed TO the pra tice.
The Chairman said he wished the stage propnetors
would give the thing far trial for week. and il II
did not work he WAS willing to join them iu whatever
pan proposed best to attain the end 10 view. Ooe
portion Of the plan promised by the Chairman met with
opposiiion from all present. it wa that of requiring
the psss enger in those stages which stopped at the
Park TO be- transferred to the extra sages which ran
to the South Ferry. They all were Of opinion that it
would cause en,less troubles and confusion. The
meeting then adj Jurned.
