lation.
ALBANY, April %. 1874
The Modocs Of the Assembly were in the humor
this morning to pass any kind Of bill After the
work OF last evening they must have felt sort OF
blase indifference to public opinion. Cauldwell's
s.quick transit" bill was taken up and carried
forward with rush to third reading. This bill Is
for "a road commencing in the vicinity Of the City
Hall, and running thence through the
blocks crossing under the Bowery and keep.
ing east of Third avenue to and across the Harlem
River to the city limits at the Bronx River,
together with branch to the Grand Central Depot.
The capital stock is to be $4,000. 600, but the
corpor alton may start business with ten per cent
cash paid in on subscribed capital Of $1,000. oO0
The roadbed Is to be depressed below
the surface OF the ground and cross the interven-
ing streets through arches Of stone or iron, and
suitable fences shall protect children, chickens
and clothes lines in the back yards OF the premi-
ses crossed from being run over by the locomotive.
The forfeiture bond Is to be $780, 600, same as the
Third avenue. This plan Is very similar to the
old viaduct road contemplated by the exploded
magnates OF Tammany Hall. except that this dips
below the surface while the other was a solid ele-
waited structure. 1t Is well enough on paper, but
do the corporators mean to build its Here are the
corporators names John Schuyler, w. J. West
cot, Thomas A. vyse, Robert Stuyvesant Lewis B.
Brown, Jonathan Edwards. Henry Lewis Morris,
