that he had practically completed the
specifications for the three new routes
which are TO he approved to-day by the

should include provisions for pipe galleries.
The commission at once authorized Mr.,

part of the PROPOSED Manhattan Brooklyn
loop which will pass under Mas sau street it
will he necessary 10 Law the galleries belo W
the tracks The city will pay for the galleries
and will let contracts for their construction
separately from the contracts for the
tunnels.
Mr. Rice also suggested that in the speci-
ficatons for the equipment of the new
roads provision should be made for side
doors in the cars. Mr.. Rice explained
that II the rolling stock of the present
subway were fitted with side doors the
traffic could be handled more quickly
He recommended that the side doors should
be in width az least quarter of the length
of the car and that they should he run
by a compressed air device operated from

BARGAINS MADE BY TUNNEL.
Metal Trades May Have Onccs Here and
ShOvrOOtns I'm New Jersey.


If the plan proposed yesterday after
noon at a meeting Of metal and machinery
interests, held in the rooms of the New York
Board Of Trade and Transportation goes
through the future machinery buyer will
be able to conduct his business on the run.
The plan is 70 concentrate all metal and
machinery trades in the new terminal build
ing OF the Hudson Companies. situated at
the end Of the McAdoo tunnel at Fulton
and Church streets.
The tunnel will connect the building
directly with a special machinery ware
house which is planned for the New Jersey
end OF the tunnel, and the buyer, after
talking the matter over in the offices in the
terminal building, will be shot down the
elevator through the tunnel under the Hud-
son and will emerge in the showroom.
After looking over the goods and making
up his mind he will plunge under the river
again to finish his bargain in the Offices
of the terminal building.
The scheme is said TO have originated
in the mind of F. II. Stillman, president
of the Watson-StiIlman Company. Il was
elaborated and presented TO the trade
representatives yesterday afternoon by
X. b. Conger Of the Hudson Companies,
which is erecting the terminal building
Mr.. Conger pointed out the convenience
OF the terminal building, which he de-
clared to be practically the terminal Of
the various railroads entering New York
from the West. He said that it was un-
economical TO attempt to use a showroom
in lower New York and pointed out that

DEMiNDS TELEPHONE RIGHTS.
Independent Company Obtains a Fiat De-
NAL From the City.

The New York Independent Telephone
Company has applied to Commissioner
O'Brien OF the Department Of Water Supply,
Gas and Electricity for permission to lay
electrical conductors in subways in Wall
street from an intersection at New street
to a vault at Wall street
Mr.. O'Brien sought the advice Of Corpora
tion Counsel Ellison as to his power to
grant snoh a permit and yesterday Mr..
Ellison replied:
Permit applied for should be refused.
In view OF the probable litigation following
this refusal the grounds for the refusal
should not be stated"
The company will, it is expected. make a
test case of this refusal. The company is
the successor to the Mercantile Electrical
Company and under an old State charter
held by that company the Independent
Company claims the right to lay down
conduits without obtaining franchise
from the city. Corporation Counsel De-
lanv some months ago held that the charter
did not give this power. II is understood
that Mr.. Ellison holds that the charter
provided only for the laying Of wires for
burglar alarms.

Mayor Mcclellan vetoed yesterday the
resolution adopted by the Aldermen re-
ducing the budget by $3.50, 700 mostly st
the expense of the Police Department.
In explaining the reasons for his disap-
proval the Mayor wrote:
The Board of Estimate and Apporton-
ment after a careful and exhaustive con-
sderation OF the depart mental estimates
cut down every allowance to the smallest
possible amount requisite for the absolute
needs Of the various departments. After
making these reductions they then fixed
and adopted the budget by a unanimous
vote. in which action fully concurred.
! therefore see no reason for approving
the recommendations OF your honorable
board The decreases which you have
adopted are not of any great amount and
would have no appreciable effect in reducing
the tax rave. while on the other hand these
petty reductions might seriously EN- harrass
the good work OF the several departments
involved.
I have carefully considered the report
OF your committee advocating these reduc-
tiOns, hut the reasons on which they base
their action are not. in my opinion. Of sufficient
weight to Justify disturbing the final judg-
ment OF the Board, of Estimate and Appor-
tonment.
To pass the amendment over the Mayors
veto will require a three-fourths vote, or
sixty out Of the seventy-nine members
Of the board The resolution to reduce
the budget was passed by a vote OF AZ to Is.
The Republicans and NJ. o. l.. members
hung together solidly, while the Tammany
vote was opposed.

Commissioner Bingha was SPA 900 Little
Tim Sullivan, the leader of the Tammany
