nent contractor of this city, has
just reterned from a city contract
IN New Orleans, and while there
saw practical test of what the
broad tire would do when given
Il chance. He had a contract to
lay some very heavy pipe, weigh
ing from five to ten tons each, and
found it impossible on account of
the soft condition of the streets
where the word was being done
to use the ordinary wagon. In fact
this problem was an element which
caused Mr.. Weatherford TO Sc
cure the contract, as the local con-
tractors would not take the job,
as they said the pipe was SO heavy
and the roads so bad that it could
not be hauled to the point where
needed. Mr.. Wealheford got wa
gons which had tires eight inches

the better the road got, the tires
acting as road roller. Instead Of
cutting the road TO pieces, as he
expected, they got smoother and
harder the longer they were u,ea
for The wide tires.
His experience there has made
a broad tire advocate of Mr.
WeathertOrd, and he is enthuslas,

MADISON AVE. AND FORTY-FIFTH ST.

Injunction against Kmckerbocker
Trust Made Permanent.

John J. Delany. Corporation Counsel obtained
decision in favor of his contention that the Kncker
booker Trust Company has right to encroach
the sidewalk in Fifth venue and Saith street yes
terday, when Justice o O'Gorman rendered a decision
making the injunction permanent.
The Knickerbocker Trust Company in the
tion Of its new building at S4th street and Fifth
avenue put up q flight of steps 10 the main
trance in the avenue. which. with the columns of
the portico. took UP about half the sidewalk.
about fifteen feet. In 34th about a similar
proportion of the sidewalk occupied.
II maintained by the Corporation Counsel
that this encroachment constituted a trespass and
a public nuisance He therefore asked for an in
junction Of mandatory character directing the
trust company remove the steps and area Jus
tce Blanchard refused TO continue the injunction,
holding that il would iniure the trust company far
seriously than IL would the city. The Appel
late Division reversed this ruling. and the
up for trial last week.
The trust company relied upon ordinances passAd
by the Board OF Aldermen in 1888 and 1874. which
permitted owners of property to put up steps and
porches which would occupy fifteen feet of the
sidewalk in Fifth avenue and seven feet in the side
streets. The company further relied upon rAs0lu-

says IL is we'll settled that a municipality
not allow a permanent obstruction OF the streets

relief. because the public suffers from other

GAS MOTIONS DENIED.
Dollar Rate VIII Stand Pending
L. S. Court Decision.

Justice Leventritt. in the Supreme Court de-
stroyeo the hopes of consumers of gas who have
been endeavoring 10 get permanent injunctions
against the Consolidated Gas Company yester-
cay when he denied three motions for injunc-
uons restraining the company from interfering
with the supply Of gas.
In the opinion Justice Leventritt did not dis
cuss the merits OF the case but refused to act
on question which. he says. should be left TO
the United States Circuit Court which had by
lls preliminary injunction taken upon itself the
determination Of the questions behind the mo-
tions. He said in part:

act and the well recognized rule that a court

or most extreme cases, declare legislation un-
constitutional would call for the present en-
forcement Of the rate fixed by the Legislature
by granting the relief prayed for by the moving
parties The liking of the rate has not been
arbitrary. The state commission proceeding

had its say, and the Legislature acting of its
own accord. after the defendant had an oppor-
tunity 10 he heard. have both fixed a rate prima

successfully nullifed. is that fixed by the LegiS-
lature- The defendant has the right 10 test that

In my opinion these motions should he denied

United States courts. That the defendant has
the right to test the reasona bleness of the rate
by judicial Yeview. quite independent Of the
declaration made by the legislative fiat. would
seem 70 be clear The defendant was, therefore,
merely within its constitutional rights I'm invok-
ting federal jurisdiction. That il did not orig
inaly invoke state jurisdiction. where the same
matter might have been passed on. may be
matter Of regret, but IL is not one for condemna-
tion. should II be permitted TO influence the
court and disregard the well established prin-
ciples Of comfy
