WEST SIDE RAILROAD CONTROL.
DIFFERENT OPINIONS AS TO THE PLAN TO
TRANSFER THE SIXTH AND
EIGHTH AVE LINES.

Navor Strong said Yesterday that he did not be-
lieve the city could take the railroads in Sixth and
Eighth ayes. away from the Metropolitan Traction
Company and sell or lease them to the Third Avenue
Railroad Company. Il do believe the Meiropol-
tan Traction Company will ever let the roads pass
out OF its CONTROL" he said but | do rot care 10
discuss the proposition OF the Third Avenue Rail-
road Company at present. Personally think the
roads in Sixth and Eighth ayes. could be operated
more to the advantage Of the public by the Metro
politan Traction Company. | think, however, that
Will ask for the opinion of the Corporation Coun-
sci on the proposition of the Third Avenue Railroad
Company"
Several members OF the Board of Aldermen said
that they could how the city authorities
could afford to let the offers OF the Third Avenue
Railroad Company pass. The offers. they said, meant
a profit OF Sl.OoOOOO to the city in lump
large yearly return to the city for franchises for
which the city would otherwise get nothing. The
charters were granted to the railroads in Sixth and
Eighth ave-. on September g. 1851 and 1t was stipu-
lated in the charters that the city might any time
take the railroads by paying the cost Of building
them and 10 per cent in addition. Il stipulated
also that traction other than horsepower should
be used the Sxth-ave road south of Forty
secord-st or on the EiShthaye road south OF Fifty
hrst-st. The Metropolitan Traction Company has
been trying 70 get consent to change the motive
power on both roads to the underground trolley
said by metropolitan Traction interests to be mere
ly another phase Of the fight between the Third
Avenue and Metropolitan companies IL Is assert
ed that legislation subsequent the granting of the
charters for the two lines named would probably
prevent the city from taking possession OF them
under any circumstances. Mr.. Nreeland president
of the Metropolitan Traction Company said last
night:
1--WE not very much interested in the question
now az we are not stockholders. We have ONLY
leased the roads. and paid what they worth
II the city wants to litigate with the stockholders
OF these roads as to the right to take the property
the improvements on which We contemplate spend
ing our money will await the results of the contest
II is quite transparent 10 the simplest intelligence
what all these hysterical movements inspired by
defeated rival mean"
