SOME WANT MR.. GRANT. But OTHERS
ARE SAID TO PREFER MR. CRIMMINS.

The Creditors Protective Committee is repre-
vented as being anxious to have Hugh j. Grant
made permanent receiver of the Third Avenue
Railroad Company after he reports to the United
States Circuit Court March IA the results of
his inquiry into the company's condition. On the
other hand. there is feeling among the stock
holders that John d. Crimmins would make
first class permanent receiver. because he is a
practical railroad man, which Mr. Grant is not.
No matter who is appointed, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
stand ready TO take UP the receivers certih-
Gates as soon they issued. Vermye &
Co. say they are longer interested in any
schemes for financing the road. II was reported
yesterday that assessment Of from 90 to
sc 2-3 per cent might be expected to be levied
upon the stockholders, instead Of issuing receiy-
er's certificates TO raise money enough for the
roads immediate needs. An assessment of %
per cent would, according to a careful estimate
published yesterday, of the principal
stockholders about follows:

time IN the companys directory where I was
placed because of my familiarity with the Dry
Dock roads affairs. The company's directors
had little to do with the roads management.
Reports were submitted in a perfunctory way,
and were so approved. The officers looked after
al! the details, and were trusted implicitly.
Hart was the Third Avenue, and the Third
Avenue was Hart. How much he was influenced
by others had no means of knowing. No one
can accuse the directors of having knowledge Of
wrongdoing- You will find that nearly all the
directors have been hard hit by the collapse.
They held their stock the end, and certainly
had they known anything was wrong they would

CONDITION OF THE BOOKS.
REPORTED TO BE IN BAD SHAPE, BUT
THAT WILL NOT BAFFLE GRANT.

A report was published yesterday that the
exnert accountants who were put at work upon
the books of the Third Avenue road found
that the Office of the company had been stripped
almost barren of books and records; that al
most nothing positive and complete could be
learned from what were lett; that apparently
no record at all had been kept of the loans
for which the company paid such high rates OF
interest; that it was impossible to tell where
the money came from with which the company
maid its last dividend; that there was no record
of the payment far made on the contract for
the change Of motive power; no record OF the
purchase of other roads even of the purchase
of cars and that the whole system of account
ing more nearly resembled the work of a Gross
roads storekeeper who kept his books on
single" than the system that should be main
tanned by a great corporation.
When Mr.. Grant was asked If these reports
were overdrawn, he said they were. but would
not go into details. A. H. Larkin, his counsel.
however said he the accountants
would be able TO find where every penny spent
by the road had gone. He added:
You rnsy be sure that Mr.. Grant proposes to
probe this matter from the top to the bottom. III
any money has been spent wrongfully he proposes
in possession of all the facts which he will on
that date present TO Judge Lacombe- 1t VIII then
De the duty of the Court to act and to decide
what further proceedings are necessary.

BIG PRICES FOR BRANCH LINES.

Now that the woful condition of Third Avenue
Railroad Company's finances has been exposed
many are calling mind the prices which the d.
rectors OF that company paid for the subsidiary
lines Report has II that for 1900 shares out of
the 1000 OF the Dry Dock, East Broadway and
Battery road the Third Avenue company paid $500
a share. or s. 100000. Since 1891 IT has paid
more than per cent the par value of its stock.
IL 900 shares of 25.Oe0 OF the Fortysecond-
81. lire the Third Avenue company is said to have
paid about $40 share. The outstanding stock
has generally been quoted at $50. while the Union.
or "Huckleberry line is reported to have been
unloaded upon the Third Avenue by gang of willy
politicians at 100000.
