President Howell. OF the Board Of Trustees of the
NewYork and Brooklyn Bridge. said yesterday that
at the next meeting OF the Board he will propose
that the street railway conn anes be invited to send
to the trustees plans and specifications relating to
proposals for running trolleycars over the Bridge.
and that maps shall accompany the plans
This seems to indicate that President Howell has
come to the conclusion that it will be we'll to con-
slider seriously and thoroughly the proposals made
by the Nassau Electric Railroad Company, and the
proposal which its rival. the Brooklyn Heights Com
uany. In which Mr.. Howell is stockholder. will
make the trustees shall invite the com
panies to submit plans. Mr.. Howell now says: III
it can be shown that the plan to run trolley-cars
the Bridge is feasible: that vehicles will not be
ncrfered with. and that the structure will not be
injured. shall be in favor OF It, But shall have
to be thoroughly convinced before | give my con-
sent"
Mr.. Howell would say nothing about Mayor
Sc hieren's assertion that only the Brooklyn Heights
Railroad Company can get favors from the Bridge

IF Mayor Schiercn has made that assertion 1t Is
entitled to the highest consideration. | have been
trustee for five years. and. without disrespect to
the other members. Mayor Scheren has been the
most painstaklng ex-ofhcio trustee the Bridge has
had during my term of service
OF the proposition to the Bridge
without change Controller Fitch quoted az
saying yesterday: THE idea is good one, and
contempIates public benefit. The question OF
feasibility must be decided by the engineers.
IF | engineer, and responsible for the
present condition Of affairs on the Bridge would
go and drown myself" said the Controller.
Frederick Uhlm ann, the President OF the brooklyn
Elevated Railroad Company. said of the offer OF the
Nassau Electric Railway Company 10 own a troll
ley line the Bridge and carry passengers

offar
seems to me that it Is only the outgrowth or the
quarrel between Flynns company and the Brook-
Ign Heights Company. The scheme of Flynns ls
feasible provided ali the people in Brooklyn VIII
abandon their homes and move to places along
Flynn lines. Practically. the plan could be carried
In not less than three years. II would take
that time to overcome the constitutional inhiblton
which prevents the granting of monopolies to cor
porations When the Bridge terminals are com
peted the present system will have transportation
capacity OF 81 100 people hour. with only TWO
tracks. A trolley road. with four tracks, which
would mean the absolute exclusion OF vehicles on
the Bridge would carry over twenty-five thou
sand passengers hour. Broadly speaking the
plan is only a stock -jobbing proposition, and does
not interest company.
