THAT'S THE GIsr OF THE CORPORATION CoUN-
SELLS OPINION REGARDING THE At
LANTIC TELEPHONE COMPANY.

Early In this month Commissioner Kearny OF the
Department of Public Buildings. Lighting and Sup
plies sent a communication TO Corporation Counsel
Whalen, stating that application had been re-
ceived by him from the Atlantic Telephone Com
pany to string wires in the subways. The Commits
sioner was evidently afraid OF granting permission
as he thought the scheme not represented and
asked the advice of the Corporation Counsel In
his letter he said:
have request that you will advise me whether
| must grant the permission requested In this ap
plcation in view OF the fact that there have been
Spovai which have reason 10 believe were or
ganlzed schemes TO get money out of the public
or of existing corporations, rather than for
the specific purpose Of operating telephone com
pany Have the right 10 exercise my own , [,,scr
above cited reason?
In the application of the Atlantic Telephone Com
pany which is appended TO the opinion OF the
Corporation Counsel. ii was shown that the COM
pany had n capital stock of 100000. and that II
was all subscribed; also that provisions had been
made for 81, 100000 for immediate construction pur
poses. The application further stated that the Al
lantic Telephone Company had purchased the en-
tire capital stock of the New-York and Eastern
Telegraph and Telephone Company, which carried
with IT the perpetual telephone and subway fran
chise granted to that company by the former city
OF Brooklyn. Lastly the application stated that
over forty-eght thousand signed contracts had
been received from property owners who would use
the new company's system.
Mr.. Whalen. In replying i'm his opinion refers to
a previous decision regarding IA similar application
of the Peoples Telephone Company. At that time
Mr. Whalen advised Commissioner Kearny that
unless the Commissioner had some positive evil
dence why the permit should not be granted he
uhe Corporation CounseD would advise him TO
grant it, He says however
| advise you that you are not bound to grant the
permission requested in the application but you
have a right to exercise your discretion and 10

If YOU good and sufficient reasons for refusing
to grant such permission. In your communication
Won seem to Indicate that the application Is not
made In good faith. with the intention OF occupy
ing the subways and conduits. Under the pro-
visions of Section 2 Chapter 2s3. OF the Laws OF
1897 II would seem that n permit should not
he granted unless the occupation of said conduits
or subways is reasonably assured.
