@. S. RICE MAKES TROUBLE.
Rapid Transit Commission DECIDED
Over His Office.

There is division of sentiment in the Rapid
Transit Commission over Acting Chief Engineer
George S. Rice. His friends insist that the
commission make him the full ledged chief en-
gineer, with all the powers possessed by his
predecessor, William Barclay Parsons. Some Of
the commissioners tried recently to have As
sistant Chief Engineer Craven raised to the
place of chief, but the attempt was aban-
doned when it was learned that Mr.. Craven had
embarrassed the Low and Mcclellan admins
trations by appearing as an expert witness for
the Merchants Association in connection with
that organizations presentment against the
Aqueduct Commission for alleged dereliction
in the Jerome Park reservoir work.
Acting Chief Engineer Rice recently sent the
commission a letter asking that he be made
chief engineer. This, it is said, was to Smoke
OUT the commission.
1t is understood that the marlborough Rapiu
Transit Company has string of grievances
against Mr.. Rice and has urged the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Craven in his place. Controller
Grant is said to be hostile to any movement to
GUST Mr.. Rice that is in any way countenanced
by the Interborough company. MIR. Rice's re-
quest for full power probably will be acted on
at the next meeting.

WOULD BUILD RAILWAY.
Chicago Nan Willing to Test VaEd-
ity of Mueller" Lac.

Chicago, May 1.-THE city of Chicago to-
day. through Mayor Dunno. received a definite
offer for either purchase or lease of the street
car tracks and franchises in the streets which
Judge Grosscup recently decided had passed
from the control of the Union Traction Com
pany. John ], Cummings, of the MCGUIRE Cum
mings Company, of this city, made a definite
bid for contract with the city, either to buy
The rails and wires to lay new ones, and
operate steetcars till there shall be a court de-
clsion as to the legality Of the certificates issued
under the so-called Mueller municipal owner
ship law.
Mr.. Cummingss idea is to merely build and
operate the road till the city wishes to purchase
II from him with Mueller" law certificates He
believes the latter to be legal and valid. Mayor
Dunne's municipal ownership friends think this
offer will prove the desired club to hold over the
Chicago City Railway and Union Traction Com
pany to bring them to a speedy settlement with
the city

MUST PAY, OR REBUILD SUBWAY.
Rapid Transit Commission Ordered by Court
to Satisfy Property Owners

The Appellate Division yesterday decided that
the Rapid Transit Commission must either
isfy the demands of the property owners along
the route of the subway from 42d-st 34th-st.,
else reconstruct that section according to the
original plans The decision made the
application for the confirmation of the report of the
commission appointed determine whether the
subway between 42d-st. S4th-st should be modi-
fled. The Appellate Division yesterday ordered the
report confirmed If agreement be reached be-
tween the owners Of abutting property and the
Rapid Transit Commission. If no agreement can
be reached the property owners will probably ask
Tor damages covering the harm done their prop
erty by the change in plans instead of demanding
the reconstruction of the subway.
The original plans of the subway were passed on
and confirmed by a commission The Rapid Transit
commission then had that section of the subway
constructed under different of plans, arousing
vigorous protest from the property owners some
of whose houses came near sliding into the tunnel
and had to be shored up.
