bit between its teeth and started off al gallop.
Afford and Mr.. Clarkn tried in vain to check
the horse but it tore up the drive at a furious
pace creating excitement and confusion among
the drivers of a score of vehicles that filled the

At Ninety ffth-st. the horse dashed directly
into a buggy in which were seated Mr.. and
Mrs w l.. Radford. of No II West Ninety

OPPOSED Blythe CONTROLLER
SEES POSSIBLE RAILWAY MONOPOLY IN
ELEVATED CONNECTIONS Be
TWEEN BRIDGES.

Determined opposition 10 the Lindenthal and
Martin plans for connecting the Manhattan
terminals of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Will
iamsburg Bridge by elevated roads has been
expressed by Controller Grout. He sees a pos
sible monopoly in the OF the two bridges,
and of the Manhattan Bridge later. If that
structure is built if the terminals in Man
haitian are connected. If two or more railroad
corporations wanted the use of the bridges. Mr..
Grout said yesterday. the competition would
lessen the danger of monopoly.
The Indications" said the Controller ARE
that if the Manhattan terminals OF the bridges
were connected by means Of an elevated road
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company would
be the only bidder for the right TO run trains
over the bridges. and therefore would be in a
position to dictate terms to the city. The city
could reject the bid, but 1t would then have three
bridges on its hands. absolutely useless. far
as transportation purposes are concerned and
the public travel would practically be at a
standstiu. Public clamor would demand
that the city agree TO the terms of the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit Company. no matter what
they be. Mr. Greatsinger might offer us a dol
lar Tor the bridges, and We would have TO
Cept It.
1T is my earnest belief that the city should
operate all the bridges. The present bridge was
one Of the best conducted roads in the country
under the citys management. We have ST.
100000 invested in bridges which should and
can be made profitable investment; but never,
II we allow corporation to have a complete
monopoly Of them. placing it in a position to
pay US whatever 1t is disposed. The Brooklyn
Bridge was profitable investment for the city
under its own management, and | don't see that
II can't be made so again with the new bridges
commissioner Lndenthal admitted yesterday
mat II was not necessary to connect the three
bridges in Manhattan The congestion at the
terminals Of any Of the bridges may be relieved
and eliminated If those terminals are located
near the established lines Of travel in Manhat-
tan. II seems to me that If the approaches OF
the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges are
located elevated WOCld 10
essary 10 connect the bridges, because all travel
would be diverted into its proper channels"

but his efforts We're futile.
Mullarhy was attracted TO the runaway by
the shouts Of a score Of persons. He mounted

as the citys debt limit would permit. Thus it
follows that if the city should abandon the
project OF Manhattan Bridge and build a tun-
mel instead. with a decrease in the cost of about
Hlooo0OOO, almost enough money would thus be
saved to go right ahead and build the East
