PORT CHESTER co. SURE
officers Declare They WM Get
Franchise tn Sirty Daps.

The New-Yorl and Port Chester Railway Com
pany, which has for several years been having
a struggle for a franchise which will permit it's
cars TO enter New-YOrk has begun preliminary
work on large scale on the upper part OF It's
road. For sixty days buyers and surveyors have
been engaged in purchasing porperty which the
company needs in the vicinity OF New-Rochelle
Mount Vernon. Rye and Port Chester. They are
going ahead just as though they had a full
franchise in their office safe. II was stated on
authority yesterday that within a few days the
company would have enough property secured
to put the first construction crew at work.
Within sixty days. declared an official Of
the company yesterday TO a Tribune reporter
the Port Chester Railroad will have a full and
complete franchise to operate its cars in New
York A combination between the Pennsylvania
and the Port Chester roads, both of which have
suffered from the 'hOld-up' tactics OF the Board
of Aldermen. has by perfectly legitimate methods
brought about legislation at Albany which will
give us the desired franchise"
The legislation of which the railway official
spoke was the bill recently passed transferring
the right Of franchise giving from the Board Of
Aldermen to the Board Of Estimate. The bill was
received by Mayor Mcclellan or Friday and he
is now examining il. He would not say yester-
day whether or not he would veto the bill
The railroad people declare that orders have
gone out from the powers that be- in Tammany
that the Mayor Is to veto the bill. The railroad
combination believes that he will veto IL and
are prepared to pass 1t over his veto. They need
twenty-six votes in the Senate and seventy-six
in the Assembly. They say they have pledges
from thirty-seven Senators and nlnety-nine AS
semblymen
So confident are they Of the final passage Of
the bill that they have drawn up the papers
and will be ready TO present the case to the
Board Of Estimate within a very few hours
after the bill becomes a law. 1t Is said that a
majority OF the members of the Board of Esti-
mate favor granting the franchise.
We are having no trouble getting the prop
erty that we need beyond the city limits" said
an official OF the Port Chester road yesterday.
Some OF purchases have been made in
secret and those who sold did not know the land
going to the railroad. With many how
ever concealment was necessary, and there
was no attempt to raise prices. The people seem
20 want the road and are doing everything pos
sible to help US along"

STEVENSON, in outlining his views to-
day. "Allowing insurance companies

Of comfy, and state laws can and have
been framed to enable state insurance

t'In. my judgment, the only way the
federal government can reach these
companies is by taxation, as proposed
by Chairman Payne Of the ways and

doubt if it would be efficacious. We
have laws prohibiting the granting of
