RAPID TRANSIT.
Doubts are expressed as to the effect of the
action of the board of Aldermen Tuesday in

been taken. In this view they are sustained
by lawyers who have given some attention to
the subject. It is represented that Wander

transit road ON Fourth Avenue, and might
even hesitate to build one II all legal obstacles
were removed.
