Whether the savings banks of this State can
under the law make investments in the con-
solidated mortgage bonds of the Manhattan
Elevated Railway Company will come before
At~torney-Genera Davies at Albany on Tues

MAYOR WON'T LET CARS RUN.
PRETTY FIGHT IN SYRACUSE BETWEEN THE
CITY AND STREET RAILROAD COMPANY.

PRETTY FIGHT IN SYRACUSE BETWEEN THE
CITY AND STREET RAILROAD COMPANY.
Syracuse. y. Y. March 26 (specaD THE
trouble between the city officials and the Rapid
Transit Railway Company, controlling all of the
local surface lines. eliminated this evening In
the stoppage Of traffic the entire system
The conflict started last week on account of the
refusal Of the company to pay certain taxes due
the city. The company recently adopted some
new rules regarding transfers and the running
Of cars which proved unsatisfactory to the pub
lie 1t was asked by the Mayor and Chamber
Of Commerce to change these rules, but it paid
no attention TO the request. The Mayor then
gave notice that he would enforce every ordi-
nance touching the speed Of the cars and their
sanitary condition. and would bring into effect
many laws which have for long time been
considered dead letters.
Last night there was a snowfall Of over SIX
inches and this gave the Mayor an unlocked
for opportunity. This morning the company
had out its snowploughs, which resulted in the
plling OF the snow beside the tracks to a con-
siderable height. An ordinance says that the
snow shall be carted away and. this not being
done. the Commissioner Of Public Works was
ordered to get out his men and shovel the snow
back on the tracks So effectually was this car
ried out that in less than hour after the order
was issued almost the entire system was tied up.
When the motormen and conductors attempted
to move their cars they were arrested and taken
to police headquarters for violating city ordi-
nance. All OF the cars carried small ploughs.
which would shove the snow from the track as
fast as It was shovelled on. The men were
afterward released on bail, and were allowed TO
run their cars into the various barns but this
was as far as they were allowed TO go.
1t is now rumored that tomorrow the cars and
other property Of the company will be attached.
and it is possible that traffic may be stopped for
several days TO come.
