Excerpt from Report of Committee on Docks, Adverse to Application of the New York and Long Island Railroad Company, for Permission to Join This City With Long Island by Railway Tunnels, Vol. 2: January 29, 1889
That several meetings of your Committee have been held, at which all persons interested in the proposed undergound railroad were given an opportunity to be heard, but the attendance at such meetings other than the promoters of the enterprise did not warrant the opinion that the public generally, or the owners of property to be partiarly affected by the proposed railroad, took the slightest interest in the proposition, yet it is one of the most stupendous schemes ever presented for the consideration of the local authorities of this city, and more directly and intimately affects the interests of both the people and government of the City of New York than any and all other schemes ever deed or carried into practical operation by private corporations or individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of the City of New York and its most vital interests.
