Mr. Hamilton, and apparently tho cable railroad
people think that they would fail u they asked for
seventy miles OF the streets OF NewYorb, provided
in their original plans. Mr.. Hamilton statos there

also saws that the city authorities Of NewYor openl,
stare that they about 10 ask for a modification 0
its provisions

s,nator Pierce introduced few days ago shows tina
thev are substantially alike. But no description q
