pany, a creditor of the Amsterdam com
pany. The conclusion, therefore, at
which | have arrived is that the com
plant should be dismissed as to the
Edison company and that the Amster-
dam company is entitled to an inJunc-
ton restraining the defendant from
passing any resolution purporting TO
revoke the resolution Of December 80,
1905. or 70 forfeit or terminate the
rights Of the said plaintiff hereunder
The papers in the case show that Mr..
Mccall when he was on the bench. had
no part in the litigation, as he testified
before the Thompson committee. His
name appeared on some of these papers,
but Justice Mccall referred the case to
other justices. Mr. Nicoll was appoint
ed by Justice Guy in 1912.
It Is the contention Of the city that
the Amsterdam company, which has
been acquired by the Edison company,
did not live up 20 the terms of its
franchise Of 1895, TO operate for the
benefit of the public. The question now
to be settled IS whether the Amsterdam,
the original holder Of the franchise,
can be revived and carry out the terms
Of the franchise.

POLICE TN BOOTHS,
WO0DS'S NEW PLAN
PatrOiman's Ear Always at the
Phone on Fixed Post, Com
missioner'S Latest Idea.

Within a very short time residents
Of the section bounded by Fourteenth
Street, Twenty-seventh Street, Fifth
Avenue and the North River will have
no occasion to say they cannot find a
policeman on the streets II the plan
announced by Commissioner Woods
works out. the residents will not have
TO leave their homes to find the police
man, IL they ere telephone subscribers.
The new system is based on the old
fixed post system, and is equipped with
details the old system lacked. Along
the principal thoroughfares will be po-
lice booths, large enough to hold n po-
liceman.
This booth will be equipped with a
green lamp. Inside will be a police
man and a public telephone, the num-
Der of which will be painted in large
figures on the side Of the booth. There
will also be wire connecting directly
with Headquarters and also with the
station house II policeman is want
cd by q citizen, the citizen simply uses
the telephone or runs to the booth. IL
Headquarters or the station house want
ullHs tueg dlSO use the ltltpNOuS. Inc
man in the booth will be replaced every
half hour, so that the booth will be
occupied every minute Of the day and
night
The fashlight system now in use has
been improved upon, and will be tried
in its new form in the East Thirty
fifth Street station. The improvement
is the installation OF a public as well
a. police telephone at each hashlight
pole, inclosed in a booth.
Commissioner Woods issued smother
general order that is also an innova-
ton. lie called il mobilization of the
force" Il requires that In each sta
ton house a card record shall be kept
containing the name OF every patrol
man living in that precinct, 40 that il
necessary the entire force OF il,O0O
men can be called out at once
