the Sinking Fund Commission, urge the commIs-
sion TO take action that the passage Of a bill
by the legislature permitting the construction OF
a bridge across the Hudson River and elevated
structure along the waterfront on West-st may
not be necessary.
In his reply Mr.. Guggenheimer said in effect that
the Sinking Fund Commission would not be alarmed
by threats of State legislation. The letter. which
was anita gonistic TO Mr.. Hitchcock's suggestions
closed follows:
Such franchise that which is asked for by

of so valuable character that the Board Of Sink
Ing Fund Comm issioners would not discharge the
important duties devolving upon II without impos-
irg adequate financial compensat ton. The amount
o. such compensation can be safely left TO that
body. They will be influenced in their assessments
by justice only. and cannot be deferred from the
accomplishment OF their duties by any threat Of
State legislation.
