THE PENDING STREET RAILROAD BILL.
TO ne Editor Of Thc Tribune.
SIR: Your Albany correspondent In hlS re-
marks on the pending Street Railroad bill published IN
thi, mornings TRIBUNE omts to aude TO one OF tue
most important features OF that bill, g.. the distance
for which any new railroad TO be allowed to construct
it's road upon street in which railroad already exists
As the bin was originally drawn by the Railroad Com
missioners the distance fixed at LOCO fest but In
the consideration OF the bill in tho Senate oo Wednesday
last that distance down to $50 feet; skfuly
termed as the distance for which new road should
use the tracks OF existing road, but
really meaning that road should be con-
siructed for greater distance than $50 feet
on the street occupied by existing ROAD, though
Old roads can unite their roads by agreement
between Themselves. Now tho effect OF such legislation
this 10 secure TO the existing corporations tho
oily of constructing all further or additional roads TAKE
New York city, instance The distance between any
two less tnan 40c feet and from that up 70
$40 feet Consequently only the fOads
now reaching the ferries could build upon
any OF the wide streets, ss GIL OF those
streets already built upon for greater dDanoe than
$50 feet starting the ferries In fact no now cross
town road could built the city except by the existing
railroad monopoly or such bill the only AmellOration
should it become law would be that II might be de-
clared unconstitutional. in which oyent year would be
lost preventing the building OF muchneeded means OF
communication Would ii not he well for THE IklBUhE
To- point out this evil feature, In what was good DILL be-
fore becomes too late The bill IL again 10 be discussed
In the Senate tomorrow and ounce OF prevention, II
possible would be worth more than pound OF cure he-
speotfully. FREDK A. BARTLETT.
