TO VALUE POWER LINES
Engineers Will Appraise Value
of Catskill Franchise.

The Board of Estimate authorized
Mayor Mitchell yesterday to appoint a
board Of three engineers 10 appraise
the value of franchise for stringing
high power electric transmission lines
over the Catskil aqueduct in West
chester County.
The New York Edison Company has
offered, in return for the franchise, 20
furnish the city with power for lighting
the gatehouses and running machinery
for draining the tunnels.
Objection was made to this offer, and
i was suggested that it would be better
TO have the company pay the city the
value Of the franchise and for the city
to pay for any current needed.
The board of engineers will consist
of John W. Bennett, consulting engi-
neer in the Office of the President Of
the Borough of The Bronx; Putnam r.
Bates. electrical engineer in the Fire
Department, and an outside man, who
will be paid out of the contingent fund
of the Board of Estimate or Of the
MAYORS office
