City, He Declares.

Mayor Mitchell. commenting yester-
day on the summary of the report Of
the Brown legislative committee, said
that everything Senator Brown had rec
commended was good and helpful, and

amounting to $4.0OO.OO0 year; the re
peal of the state aid law. which would

purely local improvements in various
districts of the state, toward which the
city was called upon to contribute some

gravely imperilled lately by inability TO

tral Railroad. to have its consolidation
with the Lake Shore Railroad aes
aside, was continued yesterday before
Justice Morschauser. of the Supreme
Court. in the Bar Association Building.
AZ West Forty-fourth Street. II is al
legged ia the complaint that the Lake
Shore owned % per cent OF the stock
of the New York. Chicago s. Louis
Railroad, and that inasmuch as the
New York Central owns 90 per cent OK
the stock of the Michigan Central Rail
road, the consolidation resulted IN the
conf ination of three parallel and com 70
ueting lines and was Illegal under the
Sherman antitrust law.
Alfred h. Smith, president Of the
New York Central, Dwight v. Pardee'
secretary, and John K. Rowland, who
was connected with the Baltimore"
Southwestern Railroad in 1893, were
witnesses yesterday.
In testifying as 20 his railroad ex-
perience Mr.. Smith said he had been
practically everything on the Lake
Shore from mes senger boy up. lie SAID
that competition among railroads To-
day was largely matter OF service, a.
rates are fixed by law.

plaintiff. took the witness up on TINS
point and endeavored 10 show that OBJ
servation and buffet cars are now run
on certain fast trains over the Lake
Shore route. but not over the Michigan
Central route. Mr. Smith said that
observation cars were a dead weight on
a train and were not used unless there
was a demand for them by the travel
ling public. There had been no de-
mand for them. he said, over the Nichi-
gan Central route.
