The great reformation effected in our general

printed conspicuously in The World" yesterday

for corporations during the session Of the State
Legislature, and mentions several bills affecting
the interests OF corpora rions which we're before
the Legislature last winter Il declares that he
inspired the legislation which gave extraordinary
rights 70 the Ramapo company, and that he pro
tecred the company against legislation 70 revoke
its charter. Regarding Mr.. OdelTs operations al
Albany last winter the article says
He evinced hrtle interest IN measures that re-
lated TO political general subjects that had 70
connection with corporations
He established IN the Ten Evck Hotel. AT Al
oany. an Office and maintained a srar OF clerks

All bills OF this character were lyZed for him

LIGHTING ROCK CREEK ROAD.
The Commissioners without Author.
ity to Use the Funds.

Mr.. Clarence A. Brandenburg, Assistant
Attorney for the District. yesterday
handed an opinion to the Commissioners
bearing upon their authority to use any
part OF the funds appropriated for electric
lighting purposes by the District Appro-
prlatlon act for 1901, for lighting Bright
wood Avenue from Florida Avenue TO
Rock Creek Church Road by means of
overhead wires. 1t seems there is bal
ance of $4,000 available for the n1ainte-
nance of additional lamps, and the EIec-
trical Engineer recommended that it be
used in the location, among others. of
forty lamps on Brightwood Avenue
Mr.. Brandenbtirg says in order to use
this appropriation for such purpose if
would be necessary TO erect overhead wires
along Br1ghtwood Avenue. The right to
do that, however, is expressly prohibited
by the act of March 5. 1887, except when
specifically 'althoTized by law" The
most, he says, that could possibly be
claimed for the provision contained in the
appropriation act for 1901 (which I am
unable to concede) is that it contains the
implied authority to erect overhead wires
but specific authorization is necessary
As II is not, and could hardly be claimed
that the authority contained in the act
of 1901 is a specific authorization, I am
of opinion even though the implied author
ity may exist, to expend part of the ap-
preparation in maintaining lamps fed by
overhead wires in the county, now exist
ing, that the Commissioners are without
authority to construct or to permit the
construction of overhead wires on Bright
wood Avenue for the purpose of overhead
lighting
