WANTS LATER BILL SIGNED.
MAYOR THINKS MEASURE LEAVING PENN
SYLTANIA TUNNEL TO RAPID TRANSIT
BOARD THE BETTER

Mavor Low has approved the amendment 10 Sec
tion SO O. the Rapid Transit act. which permits the
granting of 4 tuunl franchise TO the PennsylVanla
Railroad through the agency Of the Rapid Transit
Commission In a letter 10 Governor Oden. ac-
CONTAINING the bill, the Mayor says:
In transmitting the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel
hill lust accepted behalf OF the city have the
honor 70 ask you &c give your signature 10 Il's
eiiI instead of to Assembly Bill! No. 1oi5 amending
same subject already accepted by ne. To permit
both bills 20 laws would create precseiy I;
confusion intended 10 avoid This present pl.I
represents in my judgment the better pohcS VI ie
two under all the circumstances
In a memorandum also sent with the bill the
Mayor says:
The purport of this bill is well understood as
notnt out however that any fTanchlse gfahte-d
Under il must be made subject 30 a peTiod1c READ
justment of the rental, at intervals OF not noao
ihan TWENTY-FIVE years. Until this amendment was
rassed the interval named in the Rapid transit acl
was thirty-five years. There Is thus in TINS con-
-1ecton. a distinct gain for the city; II is aiso
granted under this act except with the consent OF
The Mayor and aldermen. The effect OF the ac,;
therefore, is simply TO transfer lne

FORNES AND WINNES AT ODDS
DISSATISFACTION OVER THE MAKEUP OF
ALDERMEN's COMMITTEES

President Fornes of the Board Of Aldermen
ard Vice President McInnes are bad terms.
Mr.. McInnes stayed away from the caucus Of
the fusion members on Friday night TO show
his feeling toward the president. This is the
view OF the case taken by the aldermen. who
feel somewhat ugly over their failure to secure
patronage. Only nineteen fusionists OF the
thirty-nine in the board attended the caucus. al
though IT was President Fornes's second at
tempt to get them. A prominent member OF the
board when asked yesterday about the demor
allied condition OF tie fusionist forces in the
board said:
President Fornes has used poor Judgment In
appointing his standing committees. They are
now made up that the Tammany men and
fusion Democrats. acting unitedly, control them.
This is true of the Committees on Water. Gas
and Electricity, Finance and Parks. All these
committees should be controlled by the fusion
lists. Take the Committee Water. Gas and
Electricity, for instance Originally it was made
up of seven members. McInnes. Oatman and
Wentz, Republicans: BILL independent Demo-
crat: Doull Gaffney and Sullivan. Tammany
men. Doull used to DE secretary to Commits
sioner Dalton of Ramapo fame. Then the COM
mittee was increased by the addition of Ben
nett, Republican. and Maloy, Independent Dem
ocrat. The fusionlsts cannot do anything in
that committee. because Doull. Gaffney. Sulli-
Van Bill and Maloy usually think alike, and
constitute majority.
THE committee finance is made up of Par
sons, McInnes, Longfellow and James, Republi
cans; Mccall Gaffney and Sullivan, Tammany.
and Florence and Bill, independent Democrats.
This looks like fair division, but with Florence
and Bill disgruntled, the Tammany men are able
to block everything that comes along. The COM
mttee on parks is another illustration. 1t is
composed of Longfellow. Ware Whitaker and
Willet Republicans; Shea and Malone, so-called
independent Democrats and Twomey, Harnisch-
feger and Devlin, Democrats. Malone, Brook
iyn man, is back in the regular Democratic
ranks making the committee evenly balanced
There IS an ndsposition in all these big COM
mittees to do anything, and all important meas
ures referred to them likely to sleep for an
indefinite period
When Alderman McInnes. vice-president OF
the board, was asked yesterday about his al
legged falling out with Mr.. Fornes he said:
That's a mistake. The president and myself
are on good terms. l couldn't get to the eau
Gus last night because I was tired out. l do not
see the need OF being strenuous over the situa-
ton. Every important measure advocated by
the administratio far has been adopted by
the board, and I venture the prediction that
ANYTHING that Mayor Low wants he'll get, If we
road tunnel contest, / don't believe that that
will be an administration measure. 1t will
come up as a sort of public necessity measure
and doubtless will be adopted. after more or less
DELAY.
