uSvEsrAENTs-MR. MURPHY TO INTRODUCE
BILL INTO THE LEGISLATURE REPAYISG THIN
AND NvALIDATING THE SUBSCRIPTIONS OBJ THE
TWO CITIES.
Some months ago the Committee ~ Fifty OF
Brooklyn by repeated efforts. compelled inquiry
into the management Of the East River Bridge Com
pany, which from the first had been under the joint
management of the old Tammany Ring Of New
York and the Brooklyn Ring which ruled in the two
cities Tweed. Connolly, and Sweeny we're sub
scribers aud directors from New-York Kingsley,
Murphy, McCue. and others, were the representa-
tiyes from Brooklyn. Associated with the latter
were Henry W. Slocum, Mr.. Hustled Demas Barnes
and other prominent citizens and political opponents
of the Brooklyn Ring, who were taken INTO The d.
rectory to give it responsibility and confidence A
condition of the subscription by New-fotH OK
81 900 and by Brooklyn of s3OOOOoo az provided
In the charter, was that individuals should sub
scribe $500 900 more These subscriptions were al
lotted to about ten or a dozen men, among them
Tweed, Connolly, Sweeny and hugh Smith. lher
troubles overlook them, however, before the INSTALL
ments were paid up, and the Brooklyn
Ring members Of tho directory bad "a a.
sumo their subscriptions before the Com
pany could get the subscription Of the two
cities Thus the New-York Ring were ruled out
Of the Job, and the Brooklyn Ring ATTEMPTED To
run il alone. The first thing attempted was 10 vote
Superintendent Kingsley fifteen per cent on all tho
expenditures. On the first subscription Of S5VoOCp
this would have netted the Ring $4,000. The totaf
cost of the bridge will probably be S20GO0o' ant
# the designs of the Ring had not been exposed by
the Committee of Fifty the total amount thus
obtained by the Ring for it is idle 70 suppose Mr.
Kingsley would claim or accept such reward.
would have been 100000. The exposures OF thb
Committee forced the return of Onetbird Of the per-
centage which had already been paid Mr. Kingsley,
and has finally compelled the Ring wholly 70 aban-
don the enterprise. But before giving up work in
which they see no prospective profits, the Ring now
asks that their individual subscriptions on which, 40
a guarantee of good faith on their part the two
cities were induced TO subscribe S4j00OOO shall ba
returned with interest This monstrous propositions
WAS deliberately voted at a meeting of the Board
few DAYS ago. and created great interest IN brooYn-
r. is now claimed that the repayment Of the md
vidual subscriptions will invalidate the cites
subscriptions; at least it is urged that any tax
payer so disposed this plea throw the matter
into the courts during which litigation the building
of the bridge will be practically abandoned ana tho
Ring be at liberty TO point 20 the halt-hnsheH
towers in derision as a proof of the incaDaclty
of the two cities to carry on the work.
