ALBANY. March 16 1874.
In the evening session OF the Assembly two rail-
road bills were lntroduced-one by Mr.. Oakley for
a rapid transit line rom the city Hall to West
chester, capital s5,Ooo,Ooo, and the other by Mr.
sullivan, for an elevated road IRON Park
Row TO Harlem, over the Fourth avenue
The latter bin is in opposition to vanderbllt's
and, as Mr. sullivan declares, will prove test as
To whether the Commodore or the people OF New
York own the Fourth avenue. 1t emanates from
property owners in Harlem and appears to have
the main design OF worrying the New York and
Harlem Railroad.
Mr. Fox, in the Senate, introduced a bin for a
street car railroad through the following streets:-
Commencing at Vesey street, northerly side
thence along Church street TO Morris street,
thence to Greenwich street and thence TO Battery
place, through State street to Whitehall street.
anu thence along TO the South Terry. The return
to connect with the tracks at Battery place James
Rogers. John +. Caunagan, Theodore p. Rutan,
William Herrick and Martin V. Forman are named
as cOrpOratorS.
THE ERIE RAILROAD.
Printed copies OF the series o resolutions relat-
ing to the Ere Railroad circulated this even
ing IN the ASSEMBLY, calling for an investigation
into the aliatrs and management OF the road. AL
legations are made that the accounts OF the road
were cooked no order by Mr. Dunan The
Auditor, at the request Of President Watson, and
that the latter refuses TO account Tor the
so-called restitution OF nine millions on the part of
Jay Gould. Last year committee was appointed
by the Legislature on similar representations and
nothing came OF II, the supposlton being that the
members OF the committee were literally brlbed to
keep matters dark. This circular looks like the
work Of somebody who would like to be appointed
an another committee OF investigation, from which
