The Railroad Committee Of the Brooklyn
Board OF Aldermen sprang q surprise yesterday
at the regular weekly meeting OF the board by
submitting n report In favor of the application
Of the East River and Atlantic Ocean Railroad
Company for franchises for about twenty-five
miles Of new trolley routes. The matter had
been pending before the committee for moro
than ptx months, and II was generally supposed
that no action would DO taken in view OF the
near approach OF consolidation. Alderman
RuGElss wanted to have the report laid over for
. week. but this proposition was defeated by
avoto of 10 to 8, and the report was adopted In
short order By q vote OF IL to 8. This showed
that the company would probably receive the
grants, even should Mayor wurstor veto the
resolution. there being more than q two-thirds
vote In Its favor.
The East River and Atlantic Ocean Railroad
Company was organized by P. II. Flynn. who
was the mainstay Of the Nassau Company in its

routes will prove highly valuable connections
for the johnson system. These are the routes:
