since. In conversation with u
Press man Mr.. Paret stated that
his information was that the
present route would not be as de-
sirable as the survey first made,

is unsettled, aud after investiga-
ton il may be concluded that
the latest is the best and most
feasible route.

CAR TAXES MUST BE PAID
4ppellate DiUision Sustains CITY S
ISmt 4euinst III. s. X.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
yesterday handed down a decision In nunOer
of cases brought to compel various railroad
companies IN this city to pay a tax OF soo
year on each car owned by them The cases
vary somewhat in details. but in general the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company is nelo
responsible for the payment of the tax, as being
the lessee company.
The city brought number of suits some time
ago TO collect these taxes. in which some OF the
companies are in arrears for years Other suits
remain to be brought, but the Corporation Coun-
sci wished first to have it settled Wn1cn COM
panies were responsible, the original. or lessor
companies the lessees- Under the present
decision the Metropolitan will have TO pay the
back tax, which amounts to many thousands OF
dollars unless the taking over of the Metropoh-
tan by the Interurban company makes still 1ur-
ther litigation necessary.
Justice Ingraham. in writing the opinion OF
the Appellate Division. first takes up the case
of the Third Avenue Railroad Company and the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company. In this
case the-lower court rendered an interlocutory
judgment, overruling the joint and separate de-
murrers of the defendants. The Appellate Divi-
sion reverses that judgment and the separate
demurrer of the Metropolitan company is sus-
tanned.
Prior to 1894 the Third Avenue Railroad Com
suit was brought to recover the amount due
since that time. The lease of the road to the
Metropolitan company made in April. 1900,
and the lease provided that the lessee company
should not be responsible for any taxes or
charges of any description incurred before that
date From 1894 to 1899 the unpaid license fees
amounted to $25, $50. for which sum the city
sued. The Appellate Division holds that no
cause of action was stated against the Metro
poitan company, and it's demurrer is therefore
sustained.
The next case considered is that Of the Sixth
Avenue Railroad Company, the Houston, West
Street and Pavonia Ferry Railroad Company
and the Metropolitan company. The railroad
line was leased to the second named company,
which in turn was merged into the Metropolitan.
The original company was charged with the pay
ment of the license fee, which under the ordi-
nance of 1853 was $50. The city sued for S1,7OO
alleged to be due from 1895 to 1899. In this
sustained. but the Judgment Of the court. so far
as it overrules the demurrer of the Metropolitan.
is affirmed. Similar action IS taken with ref
erence TO the Forty -second-st- line and the
Grand Street Ferry Railroad Company, the
Central Park and East Piver Railroad Com
pany, the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Rail-
road Company and the Eighth and Ninth ave.
companies. The against the Twenty-thrd
Street Railroad Company is considered more at
length The charter of the company contained
no provision regarding the payment OF license
