THEIR RELATIONS.
Captain Pizlini Talks ofthc Assurances
of the Boyd Newton Syndicate.

tffiti WV 4tN~bie Ns1''
of the Boyd Newton Syndicate.
Concerning the relation existing between
ths virginia Conduit Company. which
controls the Jenkins underground cleo
iric railway system and the Boyd-Newton
Syndicate, Captain Andrew Pizzim said
yesterday;
I'm behalf OF the Virginia Conduit
Company. ! suggested an amendment TO
the ordinance oil the Richmond Passenger
and Power Company, putting II IN the
power OF the Council at any time they
saw N TO change the method or manner
by which electricity was used. This was
substantially the clause already in the
ordinance. as offered by the Boyd-Newton
syndicate but IL defined and made 1t
clearer Under IL II was left wholly TO the
will of the Council 10 change from the
overhead TO the underground system at
any time II was proper TO do 50.
wv, think we have better chance of
favorable hearing from the BOyd-Newton
syndicate than from the Traction Com
pany and have therefore given evidences
of our friendship for them.
There has been no contract for the
use Of the underground system. No con-
tract could be entered into now for the
use OF the jenkins system as that sys-
tenn has not been tested. / suppose that
the report OF combination was inspired
by the fact that for the reasons above
mentioned we seem much more friendly
10 the Boyd-Newton syndicate than to
the Traction Company.
I'VE have assurances which are entirely
to us that in the event of
our claims being shown TO be substantial,
as 10 the efficiency, economy and practical
billy Of the jenkins system II will be
used on Main street between Twenty
eighth and Lomhardy streets if the Boy4
Newton syndicate receives the franchise
il is also understood that If experience
demonstrates the value Of the system It
will be extended"
