The report in effect makes few changes upon the
bill as it passed the Senate last night, The Woodin
amendment 10 the Seth section altered that any
railroad company, whose charter has not been for
feted and which has complied with the law as to the
limitation of time Of construction, may have like
powers as TO the construction Of roads as the COM
panies which may be organized under this act. Mr..
" OOdln dlsSented under the Deue1 Jhal chdnge OF
panof structure by any road already chartered would
be prevented in the absence of the rest of the
amendment; but Mr.. Roberts son and others on the
Conference Committee think that change of plan
liz not prevented at all, and that the Gilbert Com
pany may make use of their route with new kind
of structure under the bill it is thus changed.
The amendment relative to the Boulevards provides
that steam railways cannot be run upon them, but
nav cross them under restrictions TO be laid dowu
by the Commissioners.
When the report was read, Mr.. Woodin SAID ne
had not signed the report because he thought the
change made in his amendment would prove fatal to
rapid transit Senator Jacobs said that he had Wig
orOusy contended for the provision permitting
change of plan, but the House Committee was unan-
imous against it, and he yielded. He hoped that the
Senate would consent TO concur, as otherwise the
bill would be seriously endan gered. The report was
then concurred in by the following vote:
