The record discloses no triable issue under an alternative order. Young, Hagarty, Tompkins and Johnston, JJ., concur; Lazansky, P. J., dissents and votes to affirm, with the following memorandum: The vital question is whether a transformer is a conductor of electricity with necessary fixtures within the meaning of section 11, subdivision 3 of the Transportation Corporations Law. The petition asserts it is. This is denied in the opposing papers. The issue must be tried under an alternative order of mandamus.
