by the city through its Rapid Transit Commission
against the two railway companies named to
restrain the Interborough Rapid Transit Company

Company with electricity. and the latter corpora
ton from receiving the electric current.
The complaint recites the arrangement made be-
tween the city and John B. Mcdonald for the con-
structon of the subway, and Of the terms
Of the contract made with him for the operation
of the railway when completed.
The New York City InterbOrOugh Company has.
according 10 the complaint constructed a surface
road between Manhattan and The Bronx, in Ilst
street. and is receiving its electric power from the
Rapid Transit Company and paying for its use.
BY the OF the contract with Mcdonald,

Transit Company, that company says it is entitled,
in estimating profits in each year. deduct
from its gross receipts per cent upon the entire
of the electric current furnished by 1t for the
purpose of operating the rapid transit railway.
The net profits are considered in determining the
sum annually paid to the city. The sale of power
