Owens bill killed in Assembly subway rights bid
The Assembly rejected a measure granting the New York Central Railroad perpetual underground subway rights in Bronx streets. Opponents led by Sheridan called it a railroad grab, citing nuisances and broken promises. Proponents argued it would fund city improvements and ease the Spuyten Duyvil curve danger. The Assembly sided with New York representatives to leave the matter to the Public Service Commission and local authorities.
