His NEW YORK LAWS
New Haven Road Holds Legal Compli-
 cations Responsible for Delay.

New York March 6.--The public service commission received from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad to-day, reply to request for information as to just when work will be resumed on the construction of the New York and Portchester and the New York, Westchester and Bos- ton railroads
 The company wrote that the question could not be answered at this time, on account of the litigation in which the companies were involved.
 Certainly it is not to the public in- terests," says the letter that this particular territory should be travers- ed by three rairoads-the New Ha- ven. the Port Chester and the Vest chester
 As soon as 1t can be determined which corporation Is to construct which railroad, the work of construction will be resumed, and the railroad in all three of its sections Is to be completed without delay and upon completion Is to be put in operation.
 Except for these legal complications above mentioned, as well as the embar- rassing condition of the laws relating to railroad franchises with the city of New York, 1t is probable that at least one of these roads long since would have been completed, and would be now in operation"
