Company. respondent against Lenox Smith ana

tain property etc on the eastery side Of Thrd-ave
north Of Sixty fourth-st. proposed to be taken ana
condemned for the purposes Of the projected ne"
bridge The appeal Was taken from the referee
decision in the matter. The opinion. wncn was
given by Judge Morgan J. O'Bren and IN when
judge Alton p. Parker concurred. Judge Charles h.
Van Brun; dissenting. relates the history OF the
bridge enterprise and the acquiring Of the title ny
the respondent Of the property referred to, owned
bv appellants by the right OF eminent domain 1t
then quotes the answer Of appellants as follows;
First a forfeiture OF petitioners franchises by
non-users: second. forfeiture for failure TO comply
with The provisions the various acts OF the Legs

Congress giving the right TO construct the orage as
10 the lime OF beginning the work fourth that the

structon or support Of the bridge. which the peti-
toner was authorized to build and. fifth. that the

read travel The laying Of railroad tracks on the
bridge was a VOCATION Of the constitutional pronlbI-

In conclusion Judge O'Brien says that the ques-
ton Of TIE using Of tho bridge for railroad purposes

he confirms the claim Of the right Of the New OK

THE sO.a authority TO construct Is derived from The
act Of 1892 the provisions Of which act comforting
