Railway Company.
Mr.. McAneny went on:
1T has taken the conferrees of the
Board of Estimate and the Public Service
Commission two years to bring the oper-
ating companies to an agreement upon
the city's terms. and. though we seem to
be now on the very brink OF final settle

to-day there is a suggestion of possible
further delay as the result of misundcr-
standing between the owners and the
lessees OF the Manhattan elevated system

that the people of the city Will not toll
crate much more of delay for any rea-

that if the plan should fail no part of

FOESOF CHARTER.
HAVE A Ne PLAN
Ranks Weakened, They Pro-
pose to Put Both New DoCu-
mentS Up to Legislature.

Their organization greatly weakened
a plan to settle the charter fight in &
way that they hope will be agreeable to
both sides was generally discussed among
the opponents of the proposed reform to-
day, and some of the leaders asserted
that majority of the city council would
consent to it,
Their proposal is to pass the Gambler
Hopkins McClelland charter to the Iegis-
lature with the request that ii be sub
mitted to the people Also they will re-
wise the old charter along the lines al
ready suggested and ask the legislature
to enact the new provisions into law. If
the new charter is accepted by the people,
1t will take the place Of the old charter
and the amendments. If it should be
rejected. the present charter and the
amendments would be the city's organic
laws.
Councilman Claude L. Ashley, of the
charter revision committee of twenty FIVE,
said today that he positively had decided
not to introduce his famous amendment
barring Mayor Woodward and the mem
bers of the present council from service
under the new charter for two years.
Though the resolution was generally re-
garded as joke, its support at one time
was sufficient to be serious
Councilman Ashley said, however, that
he was not surrendering his position to
any faction. He declared he would let
the people know in very positive terms
just where he stood on the charter ques-
ton when the right time comes. The
committee of twenty-five meets Tuesday.
Adine Chambers, defeated by Mayor
Woodward for mayor and Alderman
James r. Nutting. who have been the
two most active opponents of the new
charter are still firm in their positions,
but 1t is the consensus of opinion among
political critics that they have been bit
terly disappointed in the support they
have received.
