Demand on the Pennsylv. Condemns Freight Rates for NYC Franchise
New York, Jan 25 Bird Coler, President of Brooklyn, demanded that the Pennsylvania Railroad concede no differential freight rates against New York City before granting a franchise to link with the Long Island and New York, New Haven and Stratford railroads. He criticized Metz and Orr for saying such a stipulation would violate the Constitution. Coler called the railroad an angel of beneficence and argued it dominates state and city governance, altering the city franchise framework by shifting authority from the aldermen to the board of estimate.
