APPROVES OF SUBWAYS
FOR OVERHEAD WIRES.

AT \ special session of the Board of
Trade last night some of the bills before
the Legislature that were approved or
disapproYed in the report of the legisla-
tive mi of the board were con-
Cured IN and others not. The board
approved assembly bill 10, which pro-
vides for subways for all overhead
wire in cities, though the committee had
disapproVed of it, the objection being
that a subway system would cost the
city millions and return little revenue.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd, of the Board
of Works, said the United Electric Com
pany is the only company that has the
privilege of putting conduits under
ground, and it's franchise requires it to
build only half a mile each year. He
also said telephone and telegraph com
panies should be forced to run their
wires under ground, and every concern
using the conduits should pay 10 per
cent. of the cost to the city or a yearly
rental. Commissioner Denman agreed
with Mr.. Sherrerd, and then Curtiss r.
Burnett, chairman of the legislative
committee, favored the bill.
Senate bill 20 was approved by the
board, because the bill provides for
leases of riparian lands for mot more
than twenty years." and disapproved of
Assembly bin Ill, because it permitted
leasing for 100 years or less" The
committee had disapproved both bills.
The board Endorsed a Board of Educa-
ton resolution against a tenure of office
bill for school teachers.

ARE FINED FOR
FALSIFYING WEIGHTS.
Market Men Assessed SIS
Each,

The three Peoples Market dealers. ar
rested yesterday for classifying weights,
were arraigncd before Judge Herr in
the Fourth Precinct this morning. Two
of them were fined $25 apiece, while the
third was discharged. Those fined were
Jacob Prevor, "a Prince street, and
Saul Neubert, 1856 Court street. The
other was Joseph Eisler, of 121 Prince
street.
The charges were made by Inspector
George e. Bosch. He said that Pre-
vor's scale had been set three ounces
ahead and multiplied until it gained
a quarter of q pound in six. He had
been fined for the same offense before.
Bosch said. Neubert's scale was two
ounces out of the way. he stated. Both
scales could be regulated by a thumb
screw.
Eisler was allowed to go because his
scale could not be regulated, the diff
ference in weight having possibly re-
suited from the straining of the spring.
