YONKERS BOARD OF ALDERMEN RESClNDS
A CLAUSE IN THE FRANCHISE WHICH
WAS OBJECTIONABLE TO THE LINE.

YONKERS BOARD Or AI<l't iNi@HNi-'+DD
A CLAUSE IN THE FRANCHISE WHICH
WAS OBJECTIONABLE TO THE LINE.
The Union Railway Company exhibited us
power in true monopolistic fashion last night
when the YOnkers Board Of Aldermen rescinded
in special meeting clause inserted in the fran
chise voted TO the company last week Tor lts
connection with New-York City on the south
the town Of Greenburg on the north and Tucka-
hoe and the east by trolley lines.
The company refused 10 accept the FRANCHISE
which called for the vestibuling Of its cars IN
winter DESPITE the fact that twenty miles or the
citv's most valuable thoroughfares were beng
given over 70 il for use for its lines without re-
strictions Of any account. special meeting
was called. and although several minor amend
ments were suggested no change in the franchise
save the withdrawal Of the vestibule clauses pre-
vailed. 49,,
This action on the part Of the Board OF Alder
men will probably serve TO increase the lndlgna-
tion aroused by the passage Of the original iran
cbjse AT that time severe criticisms were MADE
nv many prominent citizens, who. regarded the
granting of the franchise as grab or the
boldest kind.
