OUT OF r. R. BOARD FIGHT.
No Recommendation by Dir. Higgins
Contest Likely, HOccCUer.
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

Albany, Dec. 24-It was learned to-day that
Governor elect Higgins in his forthcoming mes
sage to the legislature would make no mention
or recommendation for increase of the Rail
road Commission from three TO five members.
This proposition. which came before the legis-
lature at the last session. provoked one of the
stiffest fights OF the session.
At the outset the measure Championed by
the Merchants Association OF New-YOrk City,
which urged the increase and recommended 1t
a public necessity, demanding that the two
new members should be expert engineers ia
miliar with the condition of street surface rail-
roads and traffic in New-York City The meas
ure early In it's history caused difference of
opinion between Governor OdeH and Senator
Platt. the former favoring. the latter opposing
it. While the bill never emerged from COM
mittee the struggle for 1t in the rules COM
mittee In the last hours of the session created
no little comment. 1t was here that Assembly
men Rogers. of Broome. and Monroe, of Tomp-
kins. aided by George NJ. Palmer. the Demo-
cratic floor leader. held up the measure. Speaker
Nixon and Assemblyman BedeIl. together with
John McKeown. Senator McCarren's representa-
tive in the Assembly, voting to report it.
The measure may. nevertheless. come before
the legislature The Merchants Association is
considering the advisabnity of a new agitation.
One of the most prominent leaders of the As
sembly opposition to the measure last year said
recently:
I'm not surprised to hear we are to have
that bill. In fact. I've been expecting it. More
over, 1 expect that will be taken not to let
1t get to the Rules Committee this year. unless
the Rules Committee is to be readjusted."
The announcement of the committees this
year by Speaker Nixon will for this and other
reasons be watched with interest, 4 failure to
reappoint Mr.. Monroe would change the balance
of the committee. which has arbitrary control
Of all legislation during the closing days of the
session. and such a change is generally prophe-
sled.
