THOMAS w. LAWSON.

Hughes In his message had recommended that
the proposed new commission should also have
charge of the regulation of gas and electricity
which was not included in the bill presented by
Senator Fuller and Assemblyman Stanley. say
ing that that would be another question for the
conference to discuss.
J. H. Lehmaire. chairman of the executive
committee of the Transit Reform Committee OF
One Hundred was the next speaker. and after
commenting upon the unsuccessful efforts that
the civic societies had been making for the last
three years 10 get through a bill in the Legis-
lature which called for the appointment of three
men. one member to be man versed in practi-
cal railroad matters he said:
This is the most opportune time for 20
discuss a new bill for presentation 10 the Legis-
lature. Three years ago the Rapid Transit Com
mission had more friends than it has at present.
and it then that our bill proposed.
That bill did not touch upon the powers Of the
Rapid Transit Commission. Now that the Gov
ernor. however has expressed the view that the
present Rapid Transit Commissioners have not
discharged their duties they should have done
and that the board should be abolished. we
should amend our bill to the effect that the pro-
posed new Railroad Commission should also
have the power 20 act Rapid Transit Com
missiOners.
new beard should be paid by the state and not
by the railroads. II is anomalous condition
that the power over railroads should be divided
l do not believe. however, that the board
should. as suggested by the Governor. have
charge of gas and electricity. and / would also
suggest that the new board should be made up
of local men instead of being state organiza-
tion
Senator Fuller followed Mr.. Lehmaire. declar-
ing. III few words, that he agreed with the local
feeling that the board should be composed
of five men, two from Brooklyn. of whom
should represent Queens. and one each from the
other boroughs.
But" added the Senator. II also believe that
the new board which is 10 he appointed should
have charge of the gas and electric plants. The
board should be appointed by the Mayor thus
making ii less liable to partisan influence"
Asscmblyman Stanley said: Il believe that for
the first time we are to have a government for
the people. The bill I had the honor to present
introduced early because it was i'm harmony
with tine Governors views. | will not favor any
bill that will not have a representative from
each Of the five bOroughs, and will favor a bill
to make the commissioners elective rather than
appontlve. The bin which I have introduced.

that the Belmont tunnel was being built without
any right 30 the franchise land and that tho
Belmont people had no business to be constructing
a tunnel under the East River. What steps he will
take 70 stop the work known.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Connoly said the
other day that the law department was taking
steps 10 have one OF tho officials or the city go
through the tunnel TO what work had actually
been done. He then declared that IL did not matter
that tho old Stenway boring franchise had expired
with the year 1906, and whether the Belmont people
had the tunnel bored through or not made no diff
ference, rs the law department fighting the
franchise.
Mr.. Belmont authorized n statement yesterday
He saws that the city has always had the right to
have an Official go through the tunnel. and that a
party will go through Monday. He said
II refuse 10 be drawn into n newspaper contro-
versy about the Stelnway tunnel matter, and for
that reason will not make any statement to the
