Alaanx Feb a-The first Beden bill Of the ses-
sion affecting New York City surface railroads was
introduced in the Assembly to-day, and contains
onsidera bic portion Of the m-st grab bill of last
session. But the present bin does not authorize
snv relocation as did that measure. and is not
analogous to the sections OF that bill, which ere
sted the greatest public condemnation. Last years

ABANDON certain tracks and put others in parallel
streets This seems merely TO authorize the aban-
donn1ent end removal of tracks from certain
streets without the Of franchise, proposition

widely did the relocation provision This meas
IRE authorizes such abandonment on the cerufca-
ton of the Railroad Commission
In explaining the measure Mr.. Bedell said that
It applied particularly to the unused tracks on
AInsterx5arn-ave The sole question raised about
the bill here is the possibility that it might vail
date or grant some franchise IN some fashion not
aupsrent. When the bill here last year the
unused tracks IN University Place were also men
toned as affected by this provision. The new mat
ter in the bill is in part as follows:
ANY street surface railroad company which is the
owner of a railroad in any city may, with the con-
q street or highway any part thereon, provided
the Board OF Railroad Commissioners shall certify
that the tracks TO be so removed are not required
for the convenience Of the public. and any such
eeut Of the Mayor of the city, discontinue the oper
alton Of cars over any portion OF any road which
81 owns is entitled to operate whenever the
