Big Railroad Fight As New York Central Sues Harlem Road
The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad files suit to force the New York and Harlem road to issue a $12,000,000 mortgage and bonds in 1900 and to restrain the Harlem from issuing mortgages to the Guarantee Trust Company without Central’s consent. The Central alleges improper motives and seeks to offset bonds with Harlem’s assets and enforce terms of a 1878 lease. It claims Harlem lacks cash or property to cover the bonds and seeks protection against an alleged annual payment to Harlem’s stockholders.

Dock Street Wharf Lease Under Fire Over Revenue Claim
Joel J. Baily of the Citizen's Municipal Association writes to Mayor Warwick to challenge the proposed lease of Dock Street wharf to the Pennsylvania Railroad at 5000 dollars yearly. He argues dock and rental income likely totals about 15000 dollars annually based on market rents and vessel docking fees. He asserts daily dockage would need about 20 dollars a day for nine months to reach that figure and warns the public money would be sacrificed. He notes stall-renters value goodwill at 5000 to 10000 dollars and hope the wharf remains open for business.
