PAY THREE PER CENT TO CITY.
Former Congressman Johnson's Of
fer for Brooklyn Franchise.


New York, Nov. 29.-The Brooklyn board
of aldermen today granted to the East
River and Atlantic ocean Railroad Curd-
pany franchises FOR about twenty-five niles
OF new trolley routes. The matter had
been pending for more than six months,
aud it was generally supposed that no
action would be taken in view of the nc4f
approach Of consolidation. The comp ray
will probably receive the grants, even
should Mayor Wurster veto the resolution,
there being more than Il two-thirds vote
in its favor
The East River and tlantic Ocean Rail
road Company was organized by p. H.
Flynn, WHO was the nIainstay of the Nassau
Company In its fight for recognition and
tie various new routes will prove highly
valuable connections for the system owned
by Congressman Ton. L. johnson, Who
has trolley systems in many of the cities
Of the country.
Nearly all of the desirable thoroughfares
not already occupied by street railw. Us
are included ir the franchise. fhe rival
trolley companies almost simultaneously
made applications for substantially the
same routes, but somehow they do not seem
to have had enough pull to def eat
Mr.. Flynn's scheme.
The grants are made on condition that
the company pay 8 per cent of its gross
earnings into the city treasury and furnish
six tickets to its patrons for % aeurs.
