City Attorney Dunn on the
Street Railway Bill
1T IS CORRUPT LEGISLATION
So Worded Is to Favor Street Railway
Monopolles
Competing Lines and Permlt IN
Increased Rate Of Pare

Assembly bill No. 7o2 appears to have
concealed in it, paragraphs the biggsst
kind OF an African. The general talk
among politicians is that the bill IL
LOB" Of the worst description and in
tended to subserve the interssts OF the
street car companies now in operation, at
the expense of those to be built in the
future. City Attorney Dunn was asked
about the matter last night and expressed
himself as follows: ''s
Assembly bill 702, which 10 creating 90
much discussion, is the most pernicious
bill from the standpoint Of a citizen. and
the most favorable bill t, street railway
companies which has found its way
thorough the Legislature in many years.
1t perpetuates any established system Of
street railways in their monopoly Of pub
lie streets. In short. after railway com
pany has secured the main avenues to
the center OF the city 1t will absolutely
bar competition.
The section which this act amends was
passed in its present form in 1891, for tho
express purpose OF allowing competing
railroad lines to get in to the business
center of cities on the tracks Of other COM
panies. and this bill will undo the good
companies "a cinch." 1t is in short q,
magnificent bill for the roads now conn
trolling franchises over city streets, but
absolutely deadly to any new project inc
the street railway line. As competition
IS what the people want in street car SER
vice, 1t will be readily seen that . bill
which throttles competition and fosters
monopoly is certainly not In the interest
Of the public. {A
IA second and fully as dangerous feat
ure OF this bill is that it raises the limit
Of speed for street cars from eight to
twelve miles per hour.
I'm the face Of the many appalling &C
cidents which have happened in our own
city in the past year, this is little snort
of absolute crime, and I believe that II
Governor Budd could be sent o list OF the
victims of rapidrunning street cars in
this city for the few months last past this
alone would cause him to use his little
veto'
And as if these two evils were not
enough they have capped the climax by
providing that the rate Of fair for three
miles should not exceed five cents, in
stead Of heretofore when one could ride
az far as the road went in the city limits
one way for the same fare.
II say again that the bill is loaded
down with favors for every existing mo-
nopoly in street car lines and with the
most dangerous conditions for the gen.
eral public.
st is to be sincerely hoped that Gov
ernor Budd will veto it. /"

Although Stanley J.. Weyman has only
recently become a popular idol in ro-
mantle literature, it is reported that he
has receivd $50, 600 in royalties from his
publisher last yeaI. 1t is likely that this
money has already found its way into
British consols and other substantial
securities, for Mr.. Weyman is a man Of
thrift and Of quiet tastes. The novelist is
seen very rarely in London society, for
which he has as little liking as he has for
being lionized, and which no avoids. He
prefers life in the country, where he can
ride and hunt and commune with nature
in the intervals of writing.
Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat, Of Chicago, who is

,. last year. Now he wants to buy the
Tribune. Whitelaw Reid, the editor and
owner of the controlling interest, who is
in declining health. is now in Egypt.
Mr.. Reid and his father-in-law own sew
enty-four shares of the Tribune's one
hundred shares, and they hold their in

would make the total value Of the New
