In re Board of Rapid Transit Railroad Commissioners
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Motion by The Board of Rapid Transit- Railroad Commissioners1 of the city of New York to confirm their -report.
1Opinion of the Court
Van Brunt, P. J.:
The imperious necessity of improved means of transit in the city of New York has long been recognized. It had become so evident that in the year 1892 the people determined that, as there seemed to be no other means for its accomplishment, it should be brought into existence even by the pledge of the credit of the city. This necessity seems to have addressed itself so strongly to the people that they considered that the accomplishment of this end should be attained though the ability of the city to carry on contemplated improvements might be thereby curtailed.
