A NEW SUGGESTION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In the leading article In the HERALD, Of the l4th
inst, on THE Constitutional Aspects of the
Rspd Transit Question" you seem to have solved
the problem to the intent OF the constitutional
amendment as affecting the laws governing city
charters or corporations, and 10 demonstrate that
'n prohibiting special local legislation the new
amendments do not forbid local legislation tor the
charters OF cities, or impose restrictions on the
state Legislature" and that rapid transit is IA
public highway for the benent of the city," to
quote the very able opinion Of Mr.. Morris, OF
Chautauqua county
Allow me very briefly to suggest that an act
might be passed by the Legislature that If a ma
jority OF tie people OF the city and county OF New
York elect or vote 1t shall be lawful to impose
special tax OF 49, 900 per annum for three years
on the real and personal estate OF said city. which
moneys are TO be paid over oy the Comptroller. as
the work progresses to commissioners (apponted
by the Governor, Mayor, &C.. for the consrruc-
ton OF a rapid transit road with necessary
branches). the Com mlssOners shall Issue de-
ierred stock to the comptroller and the Commits
sioners to be further authorized to raise funus
the completion and operation OF said road and it's
several branches by issuing six per cent preferred
stock and dlsposinR OF the same at not less than
par Tor the amount required.
The popular vote on the plan suggested here
with would cure any objections that might be
raised on constitutional grounds as to taxation

not vary much rom that OF Mi. Drake. both
being founded on the idea Of q popular movement
by the citizens OF New York to bring about certain
results IN v certain time.
AS to the sale OF the franchise to the highest bid
der that seems to involve an uncertainty as TO
whether the franchise might not be acquired by
parties for the purpose OF delay only. Tne plan
which venture o suggest and which. with great
respect Tor the subscription plan winch so many
citizens or public spirit are pushing seems prompt
in ts action ana equitable IN It's nature TO the cti
zens oil New York and those doing business here.
