A STERN REBUKE FROM JUDGE BARRETT
PROPERTY OWNERS RELIEVED OF A FRAUDU-
ASSE-SsNfrCT

The owners OF property adjoining Clifton'ave..
northumberland sixty frstst between ST. AIMS and
Union ayes. were assessed $4,000 for grading and
regulating the street. They made application to the
supreme Court for reduction of the assessment,
declaring that there had been gross irregularities in
advertising for bids for the work that the assessment
was at least $4,000 more than it should have been;
that the advertisement called for the removal Of sew
eral thousand cubic yards of earth and rock more
than were necessary for the proper grading OF the
street that the commissioners, John d. Crimmins,
Jesse w Powers s. II. Wiley and Henry II. Bcckman,
approved the certificate Of the work done, despite these
facts.
The case came up yesterday before Judge Barrett,
who decided that the assessment should be reduced
81 $40 per cent. In his opinion the Judge uses
severe language. lie says: feel bound upon these
proofs find that the cost of the work IN question
grossly excessive. agree that it is OF the
advertisement Of fictitious work. erroneous estimates
and unbalanced bids The assessment should be re-
duced on account OF the fraud which is clearly
tablished."

THEY MIST RUN A TRANSFER CAR.

carry out its agreement to run streetcars 10 INC
plaintiffs station. at Ninthave. and Twentietl-st'
was decided yesterday by Justice Cullen In favor OF
the plaintiff. The defendant in 1882 agreed 10 run
its cars in Flecnthst from Ninth-ave to GREENWOOD
Cemetery over the plaintiffs tracks, and connect Win
the plaintiffs steam railroad TO Coney Island. Inc
agreement was advantageous TO BOTH In 1871 the
defendant put electric power on its own streetcar
road TO Coney Island and refused 70 run cars con-
meeting with the plaintiffs road, but turned them of
from Ninthave at Hfteenth-st. TO connect with its
own electric line. The defendant answered that the
agreement provided that in case steam power was
substituted on It's Coney Island line it might terminate
the agreement on six months notice
Justice Cullen holds that this cannot be held to
apply to electricity. The defendant had right to
substitute that power and its cars TO connect with
its own road. 1t would not be fair to compel 1t to
run all It's connect with its competitor. but IL
must run transfer car, that passengers can get
10 the plaintiffs line for fare. The court hoids
that the plaintiff has been injured by the detondanCS
action, but that II is impossible to decide how much
by the failure the agreed, and how mcn
by the competition of the electric road, and therefore
money damages cannot be awarded. All that the de-
PENDANT be compelled to do is TO run the transfer
