m. THE OLD COMMISSION.
The first thing sought TO be done is to get rid of
the old commission. This was the main subject of
yesterdays conference with the committed. 1t is
proposed to request the various members Of such
commission to resign. In accomplishing this end
the intention is to do nothing that will interrupt
harmonious proceedings. 1t is believed that there
will be difficulty in this respect, and that the old
commissioners, each of whom Is deeply interested
in furthering the scheme of rapid transit in the
uexed district wall heartily aid the plan and their
continuance In Office is obstacle in the way will
1t once resign.
PRESENTING THE PETITION.
committee OF citizens OF the annexed district,
consisting of Messrs. Leonard W. Jerome, Il. A.
Brick Charles w. Bathgate and w. W. Niles, called
upon Mayor Cooper during the afternoon and pre-
scented him with the petition already published ask
ing for the appointment of new rapid transit
commission IN accordance with the request
OF the petitioners. brief consultation took
place between the committee and the Mayor.
Mr.. Jerome remarked that the committee did
not wish to complain OF the work performed by the
present commission. They of opinion,
however, that the Aldermens failure to confirm the
routes selected the proposed railroads had raised
doubt as to the commissioners power to authorize
their construction to proceed further In the duties
delegated to them. 1t was also the opinion of the
committee that the only to secure rapid transit
In the new wards was through the appointment OF q
new commission. .lr-
Mayor Cooper promised to give the application
immediate consideration. He could not say that he
would appoint new commission until after thor
ough examination Of the whole subject. Additional
difficulties might be encountered in the way OF rapid
transit through the new wards in case OF hasty
action on his part.
The committee then withdrew.
