MAYOR ATTACKS P. R. R.
COERCION TRIED, HE SAYS.
Reason for Rejecting Bill Taking
Franchise Porer from Aldermen.

Mayor Mcclellan says that the Pennsylvania
Railroad has been trying to coerce him into
signing the bill depriving the aldermen of their
control over franchises and transferring that
power 20 the Board Of Estimate. In recittng his
reasons for objecting to the bill the Mayor says:
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment, If
granted this power. is capable of abusing II,
and being composed of fewer men, could do so.
probably with greater ease, so that the argu-
ment based on the abuse Of power is clearly
illogical, and there is assurance that much
will be gained by the change.
Assuming that the aldermen may be at fault,
the remedy attempted is not the proper one. is
inconsistent with our governmental theory and
injurious TO public interests. The people have
the power TO replace unfaithful public servants
with faithful ones To imply that this method
Of redress is Intellectual is to doubt the efficiency
for purposes Of government Of system built
upon universal outrage.
Disappointed private interests should find it
unaYaing to carry their resentment TO the
point OF inhaMing public prejudice and IN
ducing the State legislature to favor i'll consid-
cred measures with no real public good in view.
The chief cause alleged for the action OF the
legislature is the tardiness Of the aldermen in
acting on the application Of the NewYork Con-
Meeting Railway Company for franchise topper
ate road through portions Of the city. The New
York Connecting Railway Company is said 10
be controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and this corporation is the promoter
Of the agitation TO deprive the aldermen OF this
power over the granting Of franchises.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company but a
few years ago acquired a foothold in this city,
over public officials here as it has elsewhere.
1t has already made plain TO me its ability 10
crush all opposition TO its plans
Its representatives have come to me in the
Mayors Office to advise that If did not
accept these measures they would nevertheless
be passed over my veto ! was urged, should L
decide to reject the bills, to do so promptly, 50
not to needlessly prOlong the session of the
legislature which would not be permitted to ad-
journ until the bills were repassed. This cor
poraton, which has so long dominated Pennsyl'
vania and New-Jersey, should be taught that il
cannot grasp the government of New-York or
take away transfer power from public bodies
who whether for good or bad motives, fail TO do
its bidding. Resistance TO these measures on
portance.
l believe that unless such manifestations Of
insolence are rebuked. the evils they may en-
gender will imperil the peace and security of our
government. For these reasons refuse to ac-
cept these bills in behalf of the city.
