Resolution of Common Council of City of Mount Vernon, granting consent to construction of road under terms of Consent (11) of September 3, 1891.

The Special Committee on Railroads appointed by Acting Mayor Anderson on October 18, 1892, under a resolution adopted by the Common Council at its regular meeting held that day and to which committee was submitted the papers of the Westchester Electric Railroad Company which it claimed showed that it had complied with the conditions of its franchise granted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Vernon, on September 3, 1891, and which company thereafter received an extension of six months within which to secure the necessary contracts, franchises, &c, to commence the construction of its road from Getty Square, in Yonkers, to Long Island Sound, would respectfully report as follows:

Your Committee is of the opinion that said company has complied with the terms and conditions. of its franchise granted to it by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Vernon, in so far as it was necessary to obtain the consents of the local authorities of the Village of New Rochelle, the Town of Pelham and the Town of Eastchester.

Regarding the contract which the company claims it has with the Yonkers Railroad Company and which the President of said Yonkers Company has personally assured this Committee that it had to run its cars over the tracks of the Yonkers Company at least as far west as Getty Square. This Committee has been furnished with a copy of the resolution passed by the Yonkers Railroad Company to the effect that the Yonkers Company proceed forthwith to lay its track through Yonkers avenue to the Bronx river, and that when such

Resolution allowing Construction under

Consent (11).

track is completed cars shall be run from Getty Square to Long Island Sound, but no documentary proof has yet been submitted to this Committee showing the exact terms of any binding contract between said Westchester Electric Railroad Company and said Yonkers Railroad Company.

But this Committee, notwithstanding the fact that it has not yet been furnished with such documentary proof, believes proof, believes it to the best interest of this city that the said Westchester Electric Railroad Company be not hindered or delayed in the construction of its road through this city and therefore would respectfully recommend the adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, That the Westchester Electric Railroad Company be given the consent of the Common Council to immediately begin the construction of its road on the route specified in the franchise originally granted to it by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Vernon, September 3, 1891, and for that purpose it be permitted to open the streets to lay its tracks and erect its poles, upon the condition that said company shall forthwith file with the Clerk of this City the bond specified in the third paragraph of the conditions in said. franchise mentioned, and upon the further condition that the company will agree to put up iron posts along their route from the Bronx river to Fourth avenue and Third street, and will allow the Common Council to designate where all switches. and turn-tables are to be located along such route, and in what part of a street or avenue through which such tracks may run they shall be laid-that is, whether in the center or on the side of such street or avenue--and that this resolution shall be binding only upon the acceptance thereof by said company as a part of the terms of the original franchise.
