surmOuntable. on saturday last the newspapers

bcsct the Commission and OF the legal questions in

also an expert city lawyer, noticed the publication
and called their attention by letter to the overlooked
Consolidation Act and Of a recent decision of the
Court Of Appeals bearing thereon. making clear their
right TO cross the street
James G. Carter and other eminent city lawyers
now confirm the opinion of Mr.. Dcering, and il is
safe Ia that the main obstacle 10 rapid transit
has been removed. But IL was owing wholly 10 tlc
enterprise and activity of the newspapers tat TINS
