PASS THE AMENDMENTS.

n "a believed that no reason will be found
for further alteration Of the Rapid Transit
amendments. but that they will prevail or De
defeated In the form in which Tuesdays con-
su,tatlon between Governor Roosevelt and sew
oral members of the Commission left them. We
hardly need to say again that we hope they
will be passed II is not absolutely certain that
tbe Governor will consent to leave the dura-
ton of the franchise. In case 1t is AWARDED 10
pr,yate owners. absolutely TO the discretion OF
the Commission. but he has promised 10 hoid
that point under consideration, and the pre-
sumption is that he will sign the amendments
II they come to him with Mayor Van Wyck
approval He certainly is opposed to per-
petual franchise, and so. we believe, are the
people of New-York by a large majority. But
the case has been much obscured by care
less or wilful misrepresentation In certain quar-
ters of the Commissions inclinations and ex-
pectations.
The Commission does not desire to grant
perpetual franchise. With the possible excep-
ton of the Mayor, whose attitude has not been
positively declared but is to some extent indl-
Gated by the Corporation Counsels support OF
the amendments in their latest form. the men,
bers of the Commission are not only exceed
ingly anxious that the city shall build and own
the underground roads, but strongly in hopes
that il can and will undertake the operation
They do not want 10 surrender this great OPP
portunity to private capital on any terms. and
do not propose to do so except as last neces-
sty. after they have conclusively ascertained
that municipal ownership Is an impossibility
But they do think that they have earned the
right to be intrusted with every advantage for
negotiation. and we fully agree with them. BY
long years Of faithful labor In which, while
through no fault Of their own they have failed
TO accomplish their positive object, they have
protected the community from any sacrifice Of
its permanent interests such as might have
smoothed their way and made their task easy,
their title to public confidence has been abun-
dainty confirmed. Appealing to that record. and
TO the universal estimate Of their fidelity and
intelligence, they ask for full power to execute
their trust
1t is exceedingly gratifying to see evidences
of sympathetic interest in the Commissions en-.
deavors on the part Of the municipal govern
view Of the citys ability and obligation to un-
dertake the work 1t Is impossible to doubt
that the public adheres. as 1t always has ad-
hered, TO the policy Of municipal construction
which 1t adopted by an enormous majority in
1894 AS condition essential to the fulilment
Of its desire and resolve. we hope the Rapid
Transit amendments will be passed.
