ALDERMEN SNUB DELAAY
PLAY TRICK ON FORNES.
Special Counsel to Defend HOld-Up
of Connecting RGl5oay.

Not in years has there been a more scandal
Gus exhibition by New-York aldermen than the
one AFFORDED by the Tammany leaders OF the
board Yesterday when they practically showed
the easygoing Mr.. Fornes out of the council
chamber in order TO put through a deal % their
own. Corporation Counsel Delany next fall will
be a candidate for the Supreme Court bench.
He is at variance with Little Tim" Sullivan
and others in the Board of Aldermen because
they cannot get from the Law Department
favors they think they deserve. Mr.. Delany has
been marked dangerous" by the aldermen. and
yesterday the aldermen showed how business
that should have gone to the city's Law Depart
nlent. could be sidetracked for the purpose of
enlisting the services of special counsel.
AS foreshadowed in The Tribune yesterday.
President Fornes- was served with an order,
issued by Justice Dickey in Brooklyn returnable
next Friday to show -canss why a writ of man
damus should not be granted to compel the alder
men to act on the application of the New-York
Connecting Railway Company for franchise.
which has been held up since last June. The
order issued the application OF C. s.
Keyes, acting for the Transportation Reform
League of Brooklyn. Mr.. Forues said he would
send the papers TO the Corporation Counsel who
would answer the suit.
Little Tim Sullivan Reginald S. Doull and
John T. Mccall were of mind about keep
ing the t'orneS summons away from the Cor
pOration Counsel. Mccall told Sullivan that he
would move to take the paper away from the
president OF the board and authorize the en-
ployment OF special counsel, but Sullivan said
this would not be diplomatic.
IN chase him out of the building" said
Sullivan.
Almost instantly a mysterious messenger APP
peared with note for President ForneS and
Sullivan went up and whispered in his ear.
II must ask the board 10 excuse from
further attendance at this session 1 called
away by a pressing business engagement" said
Mr. FOrnes. Mr.. sullivan was at his elbow, and
could hardly wait for Mr.. FOrnes to step out
from behind the desk. Meanwhile Mr.. Doull
had obtained possession OF the Supreme Court
order, served the president of the board, and
had put 1t into his pocket for safekeeping.
AS soon as Mr.. Sullivan had possession OF the
gavel a suppressed laugh went around the
chamber. and then Alderman Mccall got the
floor and offered a resolution authorizing the
hiring of special counsel TO defend the alder
men. The resolution was adopted without de-
bate.
L. Latin Kellogg's services are desired be-
cause he defended the board when the Manhat-
han and Bronx Electric Light Company tried
TO rnandamus 1t recently. Mr.. Mccall took
Justice Dickey's order away in his pocket.
which, whatever his intention, viii efectually
prevent Mr.. Fornes sending it to the Corpora
ton Counsel.

PURDY AGAINST TAX BILL.
Opposes McCarren Measure Chang

"a rELEGRAPH 40 ZEE rRInUNE.l

Albany. March IA McCarren measure drawn
and introduced the request of Controller Grout.
was to-day opposed by Lawson Purdy, secretary OF
the New-York Tax Reform Association. who APP
peared on behalf OF the Tax Department of the
city The bill. which passed two years ago
and vetoed by Mayor Low. changes the date OF
payment of taxes in New.York In opposing the
bill Mr. Purdy said in part:
The purpose of this bin is to save to the city of
NewYori part OF the amount paid IN
terest on sums borrowed in anticipation of taxes.
We believe that it win not accomplish its object
and will do much harm. In order to advance the
date when taxes may be paid the assessment of
1905 will be used again for the year 1897 and there
after the city viii always be nearly year behind
in its assessments and the total assessment will
therefore always be lessened by the amount of the
usual Increase in value which takes place in year
time
The total assessment will lie S2O00O0.Oo0 $500
10000 less and the tax rate must be correspond
ingly increased This will be hardship upon those
whose property IS stationary declining in value
The use OF the assessment roll for two years.
when the system begins may result IN a void
sessment for year. those who suffer by 1t
will cretainly contest payment There Is no provision
tor using the special franchise tax assessment
twice. The corporations will certainly contest pay
men and the city is likely to lose the entire special
franchise tax for one year. This amounts to about
100000, greater sum than would be saved In
interest in about eight years

FOR TUNNEL FROM QUEENS?
Alleged Grab" Bills SAID to FAVOR
Belmont Interests.
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE,l

Albany March 1.-two railroad measures
introduced by Senator Goodsell and hitherto un-
suspected of anything but high purposes were
to-day attacked by ex-senator John Ford and
others as grab bills The first is believed to
be aimed at reviving the old Steinway tunnel
under the East River which had Its terminus
at the foot of East 34th-sS., In Manhattan. IL Is
asserted that the Goodsell bin would make 1t
possible for the Belmont interests controlling
the surface railroads in Queens Borough to con-
meet them with the subway by changing the
terminus of this tunnel to 42d-st. and building
a spur subway to the Grand Central Station
The text OF the bill is extremely blind and
simply authorizes the Commissioners Of the Land
Office in order to facilitate q change of grade by
a railroad corporation which has acquired from
the state right of way under water to grant
to such corporation the right TO exchange such
right OF way for new substantially the
same line but different grade. The objection
TO this, of course. is that it confers q perpetual
franchise without let or hindrance, permission
or provision for compensation from the local
authorities
The other measure. also a GoodseH Dill,
amends the railroad law in relation 10 the aban-
Comment of route. This bill is supposed 70
meet another Belmont situation, namely, the
desire now that all the Bronx lines have been
consolidated, to abandon less profitable lines At
authorizes such abandonment at the option Of
the corporation whenever il deems the lines
unnecessary, when such decision is adopted by
the board of directors. merely providing that
the State Board Of Railroad Commissioners
shall the decision.
