At the time the purchase Of the old franchise To

details Of the transaction printed i'm The
Tribune, Owing to the efforts being made to
get the consent of the property owners in the
thOroughfare to the boring of the tunnel several
persons got an idea that some and startling
subway scheme was under way

The New-York and Long Island Railroad Com
pany was the original owner of the franchise The
company incorporated about ten years ago

The Belmont syndicate reported o have
