Albany. jan Sex speaker James ". Hustled gave
some important Information tonight in regard % the
Rapid Transit bill which he may introduce Mr.
Hustled has not vet decided whether OF not nc VIII
introduce the bill. The measure he said tonight.
IS honest EFFORT to settle the rapid transit prop'm
1t was drawn up Ly distinguished lawyer of New
York who never las had any connection with railways
or poAtcs. Ills aim has largely been to make inc
bill A non-parti,an one. The bill provides for seven
Commissioners, who are to lay out the routes Of tho
proposed rapid transit roads and then sell them at
auction
.What will be the politics Of the Commissioners -
at is intended that four Of them shall be Demo
Gratis aud three Of them Republicans. None oi 'n9
men named I'm the h is a politician or has any con-
ncction with railways. ! think the public VIII 7N
at once that they men Of character and tmt t''Y
can be trusted to act solely in the interest oi New
York CITY Two Of tho Commissioners are To DC inc
Mayors Of New York and Brooklyn. They Will ha'o
As much power as the other commissioners
Then General Hustled, this Rapid Transit Act "h
apply 10 Brooklyn well as Nowforh
1T Will one Of the aims OF the bill will be 10 unto
tic rand transit systems Of Ncw-Yorl and ITooldSn
and a,,milate the two systems. Il Is propo'" /"

away all prcvous rapid transit commissions ana uia

hope to sec it a law before adjourn. The Com
mssloners will continue in Office until the proposed

for the purpose OF seeing that their plans arc fully
compiled with ~ the corporation which at public
auction ha, received the great franchise II seems to
me if you pat mp this great franchise at public auction
and sell it to the highest bidder, You viii exclude
favoritism.7
The Committee on cities will have charge Of the
Rapid Transit bills. This committee is % Dee largely
comuo-cd of men who DO not I've in NcWNorH OF
Brooklyn. II will have members from Buffalo, Eoch-
ester. syracuse. Albany, Troy, two members from
Nen York one from Iioouyu ana three members from
the state at large, probably from LiAENamt"H' Ne"'
