had voted for the lease. not because Mr.. Nree-
land told him TO- but because he thought 1t best
Mr Root said he voted for the lease because
among other reasons, its provisions guaranteed
10 the stockholders a per cent annual olF'-
dend which ne did not believe the ROAD coulu
earn. owing to the competition 1t would nave
from u" and subway lines
Mr. WINS then took up the matter Of the con-
struction Of lines by the Interurban Street Kali
way Company, under its valuable Franchises
which then constituted its chief assets MT
Root said that far he knew none OF the
lines had been built. The testimony here ran:
Q-Is it not fact that those franchises have
that any definite action ever taken about them.
Q--Have not some Of them lapsed? Al 90 MOI

possession Of the Union Railway. and as c9hse-
lapse 1t left no operating company at that time IN
The Bronx except the Union Railway Company
Al should say all that was true
Mr. Root testified that another Of his reasons
for voting for the lease was that by so doing
the floating debt could be disposed of. anu
funds could be obtained to develop and recon-
struct certain horsecar lines. He said. he dId
not know whether the S11,0o0,O0 that was to
fund the floating debt had ever been paid in
NJ WINS said there was S5.0o0,000 the ex-
penditure of which the books of the company
cid not show. Mr.. Scudder added that the
books OF the company that should show the
disbursal of that sum had been destroyed MI
Cravath suggested that Mr. Brown be asked
about il.
The commissions counsel then went into the

The hearing was then adjourned until this

When the attention of the District Attorney
was called to the statement made by Mr.. WINS
that he would fornaallp cali his attention to the
merger case Mr.. Jerome said: IF the hearings

He was at the hearing with Magistrate Corri-

Hughes"
What about control OF the county committee"
