Central Park Company Eyes West Side Rail Service Plans
Chairman Willcox led a Public Service Commission inquiry into the Fifty-ninth Street and Belt Lines proposed by the Central Park, North & East River Railway Company. The directors elected James A. MacDonald president and Alexander Hempill secretary and treasurer, with a committee to negotiate with the Metropolitan receivers and Edison to keep current service afloat. The company must lease power since it owns no electric cars or plant, so negotiations continue for a possible operation arrangement. Hearing adjourned for a week to allow talks.
