TERMINAL ON NORTH RIVER
Plan Involving Cost of $780,
100000 Outlined to Mayor.

In a report on the transportation condi-
tions of the port of New York submitted TO
the Mayor yesterday Dock Commlssioner
Tomkins outlines proposed joint railroau
terminal on the North River above 2a-n
street the approximate cost of which woud
be 500, ,000, 900. On account of the recent
amendment to the constitution providing
for the exemption of self-supporting dock
bonds from the debt 1iimt, Commissioners
Tomkins believes that his scheme could De
carried out without much Of a financial ou.-
den upon the city.
The Commissioner speaks of the TRACKS
of the New York Central Railroad in Tenln
and Eleventh avenues as nuisance aana
says that the continued operation of TINS
branch line on an elevated structure Is pro-
vided for In the plan
"In connection with the proposed terinlnai
development" says Commissioner Tomklns'
"an extension IF the elevated railway soutii
of 25th street, having spurs to many of the
piers would seem desirable. 1t is also oc-
sirable that warehouses should be situate"
on the easterly side of the marginal way
below 25th street for the receipt OF carsoes
coming in by ships. Connection can c'
made from the elevated railroad to the sec-
ond floors of these warehouses so thal d
convenient interchange or lIelStiI Can -
made between the proposed steamship Ter
mif1als and the Joint railroad terminals
AS to the elimination OF the tracks or the
New York Central on the West Side, Com
missioner Tomkins says
"1'he surface tracks cannot be eliminated
until other tracks available for other roadS
leading to the West shall have been pro-
yided. When this policy shall have been
esta ablished by the city the Central musS
perforce submit to 1t, since il can have 10
monopoly of occupancy Let the cltys m
tention once be declared and compliance
with 1t by the New York Central will be
immediate The city will not be obliged to
wait for the physical completion of the i'm
provements before the Central will subst--
tute overhead for surface transit. The city
should work out its transportation problems
without depending too much on the sugseS-
ticns and advice of the railroad companies,
each looking after its own separate inter
est"

MAYOR WHITE ACTS I'M CELL
Will Contest Conviction in Su-

Lawrence, Mass, July 14.-With the ex-

Essex County Jail, here Mayor William P.
White, who was sentenced yesterday by
Judge Schofield, of the Superior Court, to
serve three years and to pay a fine of
$1,000 for conspiracy to bribe, continued to-
day to discharge his official duties. Mayor
White stated to-day that his attorney will
Immediately file exceptions, and that he
will contest the case in the Supreme Court.
His three political allies-ex- Alderman
Matthew Burns, George Smart, a tin
smith, and Samuel Kress, carragesmith-
who were sentenced with the Mayor for
conspiracy TO bribe certain aldermen in an
attempt to remove Fire Chief James A
Hamilton, are also confined in the Essex
County Jail.
Leading attorneys are of the opinion that
Mayor White cannot be removed from
office, and to support their contentious
quote Article g. Section 2, of the constitu-
ton of Massachusetts, which says that a
man not convicted of q felony and not sen
fenced TO states prison is not impeach-
able. They contend that the charge on
which he was sentenced was a misde-
meanor and not a felony. The city char
ter, however, provides that under the con-
ditions named the office of Mayor shall be

Under the state constitution the Gov

suited by the city officials of Lawrence
differ as to whether Mayor Whites offence
comes under the class which dlsqualiRes a
man from holding public office. It was de-
