There Were No Objections and the
Order was Issued.

The time allowed the city authorities in
which to object tc the plans filed with the
Chancellor for the extension of the cleo
trio road from Varick street to the ferry
expired yesterday.
The authorities made no objection. In
fact, they did not even take the trouble
to go to the Chancery Chambers and ex-
anime the plans.
Last evening Mr.. James y. Vreden-
burgh, counsel for the railroad company.
obtained from the Chancellor an order
restraining the city authorities from in
terfering with the company in the extern
sion Of the road.
The company lost no time in getting to
work and this morning the poles from
which the wires will be strung were dis
tributed along the route. Work will be
commenced at once by way of putting
them In place.
THREE MONTHS WILL SOON CO.
1t will probably be three months before
the road will be in operation. 1t will be
necessary to have new cars built, and the
company proposes TO erect its own electric
plant for furnishing the power for the
cars.
Contrac is will be made at once for the
cars and electric plant, and the work will
be pushed forward as rapidly as possible,
SO that the electric road can be in run
