Albany Feb. "a resolution introduced
tonight by Assemblyman Murray provides
that the question whether subways now
being planned in New York shall be oper-
ated by the city be submitted TO vote of
the people at special election the first
Tuesday in April. 1t makes practically
the same provision as a bill recently intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Travis.
As resolution. however, it can accomplish
little more than secure an expression Of

for policemen and fremen examinations in
New York shall not be charged with de-
Iinquencies which have occurred more than
three years before such examinations.

LOG REDUCTION
Superintendent Honeycutt, Of
The Durham and South
Carolina Asks Corporation
Commission For Con-
CeSSiOn

Superintendent II. A. Honeytutt. Il
the Durham & South Carolina Rail
road, was here yesterday to appear
before the Corporation Commission
upon q matter OF rates.
In the freight traffic Of the State.
there is a provision which makes pop
lar logs pay a higher rate of freight
than the ordinary lumber charge.
Mr.. Honeycutt, representing the road,
wanted the commission to make =
concession which would allow him
the general log agreement He did
not have q chance to see the commits
sion IN person, but presented the mat
ter through the clerk.
The Durham & South Carolina IS
what effected by rates of this nature.
The road is now extending its line
from the terminus at Bonsal on the
Sea boa to RaWls on the Norfolk
Southern. 1t has figured but little IN
the general traffic Of the country un-
! I'll the celebrated hearing Of last
| spring in Durham when the Interstate
Commerce Commission came down
t1cTc 10 ma OUT IL II Idu pttil IL
hating on cOal to an East Durham
yard. And what was found out was
sufficient to cause it to Nank the bug
roads Of the Norfolk 4 Western =
the SeabOard before h commission
to show cause why all freights from
certain points to certain other points
should not be made to give lower
rate.
That case is now pending. The
hearing for this purpose was to have
taken place n first day Of this
month, but it has been continued for
a later date. What the bigger roads
will finally decide that they will do.
will interest every citizen with blood
warmer thar a hoppy toad's. Tho
Durham & Southern received Il mag
nificent rake-Off IN the Seaboar,!
deal, and the Durham & South Caro-
lima had a raw one at its hands. But
It has been finely taken care Of by the
Norfolk & Western on coal nauls. In
the meantime the merchants are after
them all.
