Mr.. BuZby presented a resolution to the
effect that the City Solicitor should take such
action as will prevent the lease of the Jersey
roads by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr..
Buzby said that this was an important matter.
1t means nothing more nor less than to make
Philadelphia a way station to allow the tide
of commercial prosperity to flow by her doors
and leave her high and dry. 1t is to aggran-
die the city of New York at our expense.
General Wagner said he couldn't see how
Philadelphia was to be injured. There are
two questions to be answered:-First. Will
we be ruined as stockholders? Second.
Will we be ruined as a city? Mr.. Cuyler has
said that the city has received since 1916 six
millions of dividends in cash and about two
millions in scrip. This is so, and his state
ment that we have got our money back is
true. No action on this lease can affect the
trade which will naturally seek New York
The very steamship line, of which so much
has been said, we owe to this railroad COM
pany. The city should be made sufficiently
attractive to WOO trade.
After further remarks on the subject, the
resolution was agreed to-yeas 33, nays 16.
