All parties who are interested in the af-
fairs Of the Belt and the lexington street
railroads are looking forward with much
expectation to the report Mr.. w. L.
Schoepf, the receiver of the companies will
make to the court tomorrow, the day set by
Justice Cox to hear the return from the or
der he recently issued directing the request
for proposals for the testing of compressed
air motors on the lines and the cost Of in
Producing such a system. 1t is understood
that proposals have been submitted from
the owners Of the H. K. Porter, the Hardie
ard the Hoadley systems, and that reason
able figures have been submitted for the
tests necessary to proving their efficacy
for the purposes indicated. The Porter mo-
tor has been exhaustively discussed In con-
nection with the Belt and lexington roads
and 1t was to test this particular invention
that Mr.. Scfoepf asked for the authority
to issue receivers certificates. The oppo-
sition to granting such specific authority
led Justice Cox to issue his order regard

operation on the 125th street line in New

there will be measures taken to settle exist
