THE BRDOhLIN HRIUGE .TOR

transportation companies In the hope that such
privileges might bring about IN Improvement

Introduced AZ Albany by Senator Page and As
scmblyman Audett Is objectionable In the high
est degree; In fact II Is not using too strong
language 10 call ii an outrageous job. This bill
actually proposes 10 afllict the taxpayers OF the
two cities with a large expenditure for the con-
siruction Of approaches to the Bridge. which are
to be built for the benefit and advantage of the
transportation companies. Any reasonable per-
son would say that these proposed changes
are to be made for the enrichment Of the trans
porlaton companies, those companies ought to
pay every cent Of the outlay themselves; but the
managers Of the elevated railroads in this city
have never been looked upon rs pigeon -vercd
or as lacking gall This. however, is clearly one
Of the most audaclous propositions ever sub
mltted to the Legislature.
NcwYork and Brooklyn have already paid
many millions Of dollars for the BROOKLYN
Bridge After the structure was completed tho
two cities expended enormous sums year after
year for all sorts of changes and improvements
AT vast expense land has been bought on both
sides Of the river for approaches to the Bridge

scandalous that he should display his partisan

try to make his scholars accept the doctrines Of
his party or that he should discriminate in
teaching and promotion between children whose
parents belong to one party and those whose
parents belong To the other. Schools should be
