Another engineer said that the passage OF
precipitated the present situation. Before this
law went into effect tho engineers had a
written contract with tho company. tndor
this contract they were paid 3 , cents n mile.
and wore to b. provided with runs OF an aver
age OF 100 miles day. In case the company
was unable to provide n train on any day.
they wero paid $3.50 Just the same rs IL they
had made a trip. In other words. tho engi-
neers earned ST.. so every day in he year. They
were also paid for overtime and extra trips at
the same rate OF 81 cents mile. These con-
tracts went into force six or seven years ago.
and remained in force until the Ten-h law
went into effect. Then tho company notified
tho engineers that no more contracts would
be made. Since that time the men have had
no contracts mt all with the company. They
have been paid however. ut the same rate OF
81 cents mile. but only for actual trips. IL
tho company IS una bic to furnish trains and
they are laid Off they ge. no pay. The en-
gineers want this changed. They say that so
Ten hour law is Il dead letter. They work just
as they did before it went into effect. and no
attention whatever is paid to the law by the
officers OF the road.

The Sinking Fund Commit ssioncrs Propose
TO Have Something TO Say About His
Way Of Getting TO the Bridge which lie
Wishes TO Buiid Across the Hudson.
When the Commissioners OF the Sinking
Fund met in tho Mayors Office yesterday Sec
rotary Storrs presented n notice signed by
Charles II. Swan. Secretary OF tho New York
and Now Jersey Bridge Company, that the
company has located one OF it's approaches
along tho cast side OF the Hudson River from
about Seventieth street to 155d street. between
the bulkhcad line and tho westerly boundary
line of Twelfth avenue"
This notice OF the intention OF the bridge
company to build rapid transit railroad
along the edge Of Riverside Park was served
on Secretary Storrs last Saturday. and ever
since that time there has been lively hustling
on tho part OF the West End Association of
property owners to prevent the company from
building tho tracks proposed.
The plan which has been considered by tho
city is to purchase all property not now owned
by the city west OF the westerly boundary OF
Twelfth avenue for dock purposes. Tho Dock
Del artmont made n contract to purchase three
parcels Of this land between EiGhtieth and
Eighty-nfth streets for $4,000. Comptroller
Myers rel orted this amount excessive. and
reconmended that all the property along the
Riverside Park water front should be taken by
condemnation proceedings.

and that il the city acquired the rrorerty !or

poscd railroad approach TO the bridge could
