1/ac. EDWARD M. GROUT, lnn•siderrt of the Htrotrgh of 6rool,•I)vt: pe tIt SIR-In reply to yours of the 6th instant, relative to the condition of Oakland street,
between Clay and Ash streets (complaint made by F. C. Smith & Co.), I have to say that originally it was int-r.ded to repave O•tkinud street, Irons Drlgg, avenue to Ash street, for which hick were received November 22, 1897. The contract was certified by Comptroller Palmer of Brooklyn for $32,200, which was found to be insufficient and, therefore, the work was stopped at Clay street. The Engineer reports that the expense of extending the pavement the two blocks would cost approximately $3,500. and estimates the cost of paving one block on Box street, from Oakland street to Manhattan avenue, at $3,000.
No authority has been received by this Department to extend the pavement on Oakland street or to make contract for the paving of one of the cross streets, and I doubt that there is any possi-bility of carrying out this improvement this year.
I have referred to the Superintendent in charge the matter of the need of repairs to the pave-ment on these two blocks, with instructions to repair the worst depressions.
Respectfully, (Signed) THOS. R. FARRELL, Deputy Commissioner of Highways.

IK 'tHE MATTER OF THE OPENING OF CERTAIN STRee- rS TItROCGII PROPERTY OF BUTTRICK PL'li.ts1{tNG COMPANY.
DEAR SIR-The first hearing in this ttgatter was had la,t Jely, and at that time the writer stated that the Buttrick Publishing Company would probably not opp.)se the opening of the streets named in the petition. We have since then been investigating the advisability of ceding the said streets instead of forcing the delay incident to proceedings by commission. We are now author-ized on behalf of the liuttrick Pinitabio-, Company, Limited, to say that it Will execute deeds of cession any time otter December 3t, 1S9S. The reason for naming this date is that the entire property is under lease until that date, and the opening of streets earlier would entail serious loss to the lessees, which our client as lessor would probably have to meet, or at all events contest. If this proposition is satisfactory to the Board we should expect that it would drop the pending proceedings and that nothing would be done in the meantime.
The writer, \cho has had entire charge in our office, regrets his inability to present this propo-sition before the Board in person. An important reference tins been set for the hour of the hearing at which the writer must attend to examine witnesses who have come on from Massachusetts.
Very truly yours, (Signed) PERKINS & JACKSON,

the -Ninth Senatorial District of Cie Borough of Brooklyn, be and the same are hereby directed to investigate and ascertain by what authority the Brooklyn Union or any other elevated railroad company is now running cars to Rockaway Beach over tracks from Fulton street to Atlantic ave-nue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, and report back to the Municipal Assembly. —the Local Board of the Ninth Senatorial District met and notifie,i the elevated railroad company referred to therein to attend, and has investigated as required in such resolution, and reports as follows :
The receiver of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company has transmitted a plan, together with a statement of the position of such company and of the Long Island Railroad Company, co-operating with it in making the connection of the two roads from Fulton street to Atlantic astenue, which plan and communication we attach hereto.
It appears that the land lying between Fulton street and Atlantic avenue is private property. Neither the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company nor the Long Island Railroad Company has ever obtained any authority whatsoever from any city department for the construction of the structure referred to. Two permits, one of April 20, 1898, and one on June to, 1898, were obtained by the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company from the Highway Department in the Borough of Brooklyn, which simply permitted the placing of building materials on Fulton street and on Atlantic avenue, the permit, we understand, being of the saute character as that which would lie obtained by a builder constructing any edifice.
The structure of these railroad companies not only runs through Fulton street, for which the elevated road has a franchise, and through Atlantic avenue, for which the Long Island Railroad Company has a franchise, but also runs from Fulton s'reet across the sidewalk into the private property in the block owned by the railroads and out of such private property on Atlantic avenue across the sidewalk to the laud in the centre of the street which belongs to the Loneg Island Rail-road Company. This structure is not within the terms of any franchise granted by The City of New York or its predecessor, the City of Brooklyn. The railroad companies claim the right to do as they have clone, however, notwithstanding the provisions of the Charter. 'rile facts being without dispute, the only question involved is wholly a question of law, and we recommend that this communication, with accompanying papers, be submitted to the Corporation Counsel, with the request that he act in such manner as the law permits in the premises. We believe that the struc-ture is an injury to the adjoining and neighboring property, and we believe that the course of these railroad companies is such as to prevent the City from obtaining the compensation for franchises for which the Charter of the City provides, and if the law will permit it, action should be taken against the continuance of this structure without the permission of the City authorities and without compensation to the City.
Respectfully, Dated BROOKLYN, October 7, 1898.

September 26, 1898. Hin. E. Al.t GROUT, President of the Borough of Brooklyn, Borough of Brooklyn, New York
City . DEAIt SIR—At the request of Mr. Uhlmann, I send you herewith a plan showing the connec-
tion between the tracks of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company, in Fulton avenue, over private property, and the tracks of the Long Island Railroad Company, in Atlantic avenue.
The title to the land in question is held by a trustee for the joint benefit of the Long Island Railroad Company and the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company or its successor.
The Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company was chartered by a special net of the Legislature, chapter 585 of the Laws of 1874, and enacted, you will observe, prior to the constitutional amend-ment of 1875, so that under the rights secured by said act it is not necessary to secure the consents of abutting owners or of the municipality for the construction of said railroad or appurtenances along the route specified in said act, which includes Fulton street, east of Broadway.
The act in question gives the company full power to construct, maintain and operate such turnouts, switches, sidings, platforms, depots, stairways, telegraph and signal apparatus and repair shops as may be necessary and proper for the successful maintenance and operation of said railway, etc. The act also provides that said corporation shall possess all the rights, powers and privileges and be subject to all the provisions of the General Railroad Act, chapter 140 of the Laws of 1850, and the acts amendatory thereof.
With the provisions of the General Railroad Act of 1850 and the amendments thereof you are, doubtless, familiar, so that you will readily recall the statutory provisions which authorize rail-roads to unite and connect their lines when co-terminous or constructed in the same vicinity, and require the granting of facilities for transporting passengers over each other's lines. You have also, doubtlesss, observed that the settled policy of the courts is to favor all arrangements between existing railroads whereby the convenience of the traveling public may be promoted, as by making connections of this sort. A good case in point is Beekman vs. Brooklyn and Brighton Beach Rail-road Company, 89 Ilun, 14. The Court of Appeals has held, matter of Union Elevated Railroad Company, 113 N. Y., 275, that a company organized under the Rapid Transit Act of 1875 had the right to connect its routes with the routes of an existing elevated railroad, and run continuous trains thereover, so as to promote the convenience of the traveling public. The connection in the case last cited was between the Hudson avenue route of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company and the Myrtle avenue route of the Union Elevated Railroad Company.
I understand that the Long Island Railroad Company claims the same authority to make the connection in question under their chartered rights that is cited in behalf of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company. The work of constructing the connection in Atlantic avenue and over the private property between Atlantic and Fulton avenues was done under the exclusive supervision and control of the Long Island Railroad Company. All that the receiver of this company did, under the order of the Court, was to put in the girders and tracks connecting our Fulton avenue line with the structure on the private property to question, which was completed as far as the house-line on Fulton avenue. It was unnecessary to erect any additional supporting columns for this purpose ; consequently no excavations of any kind were made in the street, and no permit was secured except for the purpose of placing material in the street pending construction.
Yours very truly, (Signed) ALEX. S. LYMAN.
On motion of Councilman Francisco, the report was made that of the Lo:al Board, to be signed by the members of the Board, and the Secretary was instructed to forward it to the Munici-pal Assembly.

tIn onler„t the Supreme Court, Appellate I)ivisien- Resolced, That Robert Rau be and is herby restored to duty as Patrolman. The Chief
directed to assign him to duty. Communication having been received by the Board from John 1IvCu]Iaah, State Superin-
tendent of Llections, dated October lo. in which he states that : '' In order to proporly carry out the pr visions of vIt::pter 676 of the Laws of iSgS I shall require a place of detention for any person or persons who may be arrested by myself or deputies at a time when the courts are not open for their arraignment for a violation or attempted violation of the Election Law or of the Penal Code relating to crime against the elective franchise at which such person or persons so arrested may be detained until the said courts shall be opened for their arraignment before a magistrate. In order to secure such place or places of detention, I shall require your co-operation, and to that end I respectfully request that your Honorable Board shall lake such action in the [natter as will meet the emergency."
In rel , ly to such communication, the Police Board desires to state that they find no provision of law which requires or authorizes then) to designate places for detention of persons arrested for crime other than the provisions of the Charter and the general law which requires that they shall establish, provide and :urnish stations and station-houses, sub-stationsand -ub-station-houses, fir the accommodation thereat : f members of the Police Force and ac places for temporary detention for persons arre< ed and property taken within the precinct. The Police Board, therefore, find that they have no authority to designate place, for the detention of any particular person or persons arrested for crime, but would state that, tinder their understanding of the law, any citizen has the same right to arrest for a violation of the law as a member of the Uniformed Police Force ]ISm, and when he makes such arse-Is and delivers the person so arrested to the place provided as a station-house by the Police Department, it is the duty of such Department to receive the person so arrested, till 00 the facts being submitted showing that a crime has been committed, and the State Superintendent, or his deputies, would have, therefore, the same right as a citizen or officer would have in arrest fot violation of law ; and the Board feel, therefore, that they have no authority in law to make .•.D\• other designation for such detention than provided by law.
1 he C htef Clerk is directed to communicate forthwith a copy of this minute to the State Super-intendent of Election,.
The Chief of Police is directed to communicate a copy of this minute to the Force. Atlurne•1,
