REPLIES TO SULLIVAN.
Ssoanstrom Ans5oers arguments
AGAINST Connecting Railroad.

J Edward swanstrom president of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Reform League, said yesterday that
the chairman of the aldermanic committee to which
the franchise of the Connecting Railroad was re-
ferred in June last had an apparently imperfect
understanding OF certain facts of Importance in the
present situation. The bills now at Albany, trans
ferring the control of franchises to the Board OF
Estimate. had been put forward the theory that
the aldermen could not be depended upon to handle
these affairs with real regard for the citys welfare
The experience of the Connecting Railroad had
been urged typical. Mr.. swanstrom said:
Mr.. Sullivan says that he has two dozen letters
through the heart, of Brookiyn. No letters Of the
sort, told are on the files Of his committee.
If they have been aadFesseS ed to him p personally % he
by this time may have satisfied himself that they
were written by persons not well informed It IS
Brooklyn Borough.
Mr. suIIlyan states as another reason for his
franchise fra s s perpetual in form instead of limiting
not unlikely that he has confused in his mind the
provisions of law governing the use of street sur

M Mr.. sullivan has made one other point-that as
for that reason The entre Long island system
operates under steam. but IL Ia we'll known that
western terminal section rapidly as possible.
Under it's franchise the connecting road might use
either steam or electricity
One is bound to agree with Justice Dickey that
the for delay in this very conspicuous case
ore "fanciful, pretended and have merit" There
has been more striking instance of the un-
wisdom of leaving in the hands of the aldermen
the control Of the citys purely business affairs,
