Notes They Secure.

After holding half dozsn public hearings and
several private conferences the Public Service COM
mission Yesterday approved the application of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company to issue
SO 100000 in bonds. For the present only S5ooVoV"
will be issued to secure an issue of notes for sS-
100000 running for three years and bearing per
cent interest.
J P Morgan & Co. have consented to form SYM
dicate TO underwrite notes. which will be taken
at 81 plus accrued interest from November l, lS''
the date of the bonds. The proceeds of the issue
of notes will be used TO refund another issue OF
s5.000 900. maturing May 1, and to wipe out GER
tain floating Indebtedness. mortgage covering
all the Interborough's property secures the bonds
William R. Wilcox, chairman of the commission,
who drew up the report approving the bond issue,
expressed himself particularly pleased when
George W. Wickersham. of counsel for the Inter
borough. assured him that ]. P Morgan d Co.
had agreed to underwrte the whole issue
At the end of two years and half the holders
OF the notes will be allowed to exchange them for
the bonds at 99. The bonds will be dated November
/ 1907 and are TO until November l, 1852, bear
ing per cent interest, payable sem-annually.
The lease OF the Manhattan elevated lines was
not included in the mortgage for security in the
original application. Neither the proceeds of
the sale of the Steinway tunnel, should such sale
be made, but under the permission granted yester-
day they are included. The redemption price of
the bonds is placed 105 instead OF 10, as at first
proposed
The commission also inserted a stipulation. the
first of the kind in connection with railroad bonds
in this state that with the exception of the bonds
exchanged for the s25,0o0,0N0 note issue bonds

TO PUBLISH OLD WILLS.
Historical Society to ThroSc Light on
Manu- Obscure Points.

Abstracts Of two hundred tnrecorded wills Of old

a deal of light on points in New YOrk's history
that have heretofore been obscure. M Pelietreau
in going over the mustY documents, has come upon
some very interesting matter.
For example, Nj FeTetreau has this way learned
the facts as 10 the original title TO the land on
the west side Of Broadway through which Cort-
landt street This was made clear by
The will Of Maria Teller, widow of Andries Teller
and daughter OF the famous olof Sterense y an

family OF that name At the time OF her ceath
the widow lived on land that is No s. Pearl

il from the executors of Rachel Van ThienhoFen
and she described ii "a certain lot of land, ly-
ing at a place sometime without the City Gate
~ she west side Of the Highway being IS rods and
10 OF rod Vide." The lot extended back 10
The North River. Maria Teller owned third OF
the tract In 1888 ToTtandt street was opened
through the MIDDLE OF the tract. and the remain
ing land was divided between the Tellers and the
Nan Cortiandts.
In connection with the VIII OF Henricus selyns.

toral simplicity Of what II at present the fnan-

The task OF decipheGInE these wills. written in
Dutch and French well English, has been
great. fer often they arc torn and parts miss

coats OF arms as on the VIII of John Ferris ''of
