agreement.
such change IN the proposed
agreement Uouid, horcUcT important,
be ono Of detail. MD study Of the mat
Ter has led me 10 the conviction that
there should be a BASIC change IN the
proposed agreement resulting IN the
abandonment Of the plan to transform
The railroad CompGuyS franchise into
real estate rights and easements.
Tho adoption OF q clause such as
The Evening World suggests in QucS-
ton No. would seem to be without
effect, because under the State Fran
Chisc Tax Law tho character OF the
right OF occupation OF tho railroad will
be determined according TO the condi-
tions as actually provided In the pro-
posed agreement, regardless of what
their rights or occupation may be
styled therein.
why should the CITY Of New York
prefer that tho railroad company
should have fees and easements
rather than termlnable leases and
franchises?
~ the railroad company were re-
quircd TO Lease the docks and that
portion OF the waterfront which un-
der the agreement II would own In
fec. the city OF New York would be
able 10 secure not only a greater
revenue but also would he able to
dominate n situation over which II
should not surrender control 20 the
railroad company.
II tho railroad company owns the
fees 1t can capitalize for It's own vast
and practically exclusive beneht
some OF tho most valuable water %
front in tho world. II Is possible that
Government ownership may como IN
n quarter century. perhaps sooner.
Is the New York Central considering
this? And why should we allow that
company TO be In a position 10 capt.
tnliZe for its enormous beneht these
immensely valuable Waterfront prop
critics. and subsequently, cash IN on
them whenever Government owner

Between the signing OF the contract

10 increase it's bonded indebtedness
