ALDERMEN FIGHT FOR 1T
Court Hears arguments on Right to
Grant Franchises.

The application for injunction to restrain
the Board of Estimate and Apportionment from
granting franchises recommended by the Rapid
Transit Commission for extensions of the sub
came up before Justice Blanchard in the
Supreme Court yesterday. Justice Blanchard
reserved decision, with the understanding that
if L. Latin Kellogg, who appeared for the alder
men, and Assistant Corporation Counsel Burr
could get the Appellate Division to take the
subject up before the summer adjournment he
would deny the application for the purpose of
expedting a final decision.
In his argument Mr.. kellogg said that the
action of the legislature was clearly uncon-
stitutional by reason of the fact that it took
away the powers of the aldermen in the terms
of Office for which they were elected This
question must be settled said the lawyer, ''be-
fore any action on franchises before the Board
of Estimates can be legally taken
In opposition, Mr.. Burr said that the legis-
lature had simply taken away some of the
powers of one of the city boards and conferred
those powers on another. He said that it had
been established that the legislature could add to
the powers of the aldermen. If they can add
to, why can they not dtminish?' he asked Mr.
Burr concluded his argument by declaring that

subways He asked the court not to retard
the extension of the system.

a restraining order, pending the application to
