The Citizens Union Yesterday replied TO the
statement OF Frederick j. Corey, attorney for the

The Niagara Power Company. under this bill. can
condemn property an over the State AT will. The
only choice the owner Of the property has IS to sell
his lands their terms to have 70 condemned.
A railroad company asking the privileges
would De Obliged 70 secure the consent Of the

The company will have the entire State its

The above should be sufficient 10 disprove the
claims OF Mr.. Corey and others that the bill will
merely extend the companys present charter. New
