THE FIGHT OVER GAS MAINS.
RICHMOND HILLS FRANCHISE TO THE
WOODHAvEN COMPANY IN DISPUTE.

RICHMOND HILLS FRANCHISE TO THE
WOODHAvEN COMPANY IN DISPUTE.
Two motions were made before Justice Osborne,
Of the Supreme Court, yesterday behalf Of the
Woodhaven Gaslght Company. Some days ago a
gang OF men began TO lay the pipes OF the com
pany in Broadway. Richmond Hill. and the fore
man OF the gang was arrested. One OF the motions
was for the discharge Of the foreman on writ Of
habeas corpus. and the other was for a mandamus
10 compel the Highway Commissioner Of Richmond
Hill to grant a permit TO the company 10 lay IT'S
tracks In the streets Of the village On account OF
the fact that counsel could not agree as 10 the
facts the writ Of habeas corpus, the matter was
sent TO a referee and argument was heard on the
application for the mandamus Paul r. De fere
who appeared for the gas company. said that the
company WAS organized In 1871, when Richmond
Hill was still part Of the town OF Jamaica. Soon
afterward II obtained the consent OF the town 10
lay pipes I'm the streets. The village or Richmond
Hill was incorporated In 1894. and recently. when
the company wanted TO lay It's pipes In the village
the trustees objected on the ground that no con
sents had been obtained Mr. De Fere said that there
was doubt that the original consent stn held
good, and that the company had the right 10 lay
its pipes under It's provisions. 1t might well be
said that, after the organization of the Greater
New-York. it would be necessary for every Brook
lyu company which wanted to open the streets in
the city to get franchise from New-York
Pipes had been laid by the petitioner in Jamaica
and Woodhaven. and IL desired TO lay them IN
Richmond Hill 50 that they could connect.
Counsel in opposition to the application said that
the application not made In good faith. The
fact was that the only pipes of the petitioner were
some connecting company's mains in Brooklyn
with the works OF the Lalance * Grosjean Company
at Woodhaven. The company which had pipes I'm
Jamaica the Jamaica Gaslight Company, and
this company had no possible claim TO the streets
I'm Richmond Hill. and il wanted TO get into
them the plan to use the Woodhaven Company
which had money, but II so-caled franchise
Counsel said that the company had applied to the
Board Of Trustees for franchise. but II had been
refused because the company refused 10 accept the
terms which were offered. Decision reserved.
