u. s. &. DENIES APPEAL.
Says 1t Doubts Whether Long Acre
Com pany's Franchise Is Good.

Ten reasons for their action given by the
Public Service commissioners in memorandum
handed down yesterday in denying the application
Of the Long Acre Electric Light and Power Com
pany for authority to mortgage Its property to Sc
cure bond issue OF s5O,0oO0oo issue addi-
tional stock for 100000
The corporate stock OF the company Is $50
oto- Some time ago the company got authority to
mortgage its property for sLO00O0o. Only 5000 600
Of this issue is outstanding. however When the
application made TO the Public Service Com
mission it out that its franchise for con-
strUcting electric light lines in what was the old
city Of New York sold at public auction in 1897
for 800
The report Of the commission says that 1T is
doubtful whether the title OF the Long Acre Com
pany to the franchise which it claims Is perfect"
1t is also pointed out that perhaps the bonds al
ready issued Illegal and If So the approval of
the APPLICATION for another Issue would authorize
the capitalization of franchise, which is contrary
to law
The commission also says that an independent
company in competition with the Established COM
panes would cause Inconvenience and expense to
the public, and that the independent operation
would probably continue for any great length
Of time.
