(5) 2090 The Secretary presented a communication dated May 27th. IgoR, from the Presi-

dent of the Borough of Brooklyn, transmitting a report of R. W. Creti.zhanir, Consult-ing Engineer of Public Works in regard to using the Brooklyn Bridge as a connection between elevated lines in Brooklyn and subway lines in '11anh:ittan. The papers were referred to the Committee on the Manhattan part of the Brooklyn Loop Lines.

(6) 0-536 Commissioner Maltbie presented the following opinion in the matter of the

service upon the Kingsbridge surface line of the Third avenue Railroad Company:

STATE OF NEW YORK—PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION FOR TILE FIRST DISTRICT.

In the Matter of

The Hearing on the Motion of the Com-mission on the Question of Improve-ments in xnd Addition to the Service of the Third Avenue Railroad Company an 1 of Frcd€rick W. Whitridge, as Re-ceivcr of said Company.

Kingsbridge Surface Line. Order for hearing (No. 435).

OPINION. The question of the adequacy of service upon the Kingsbridge surface line has been

before the Commission for some time and several inspections have been made by the Transportation Bureau. When the matter was first taken up it was found that the New York City Railway Company was rising the line for the experimental running of the pay-as-you-enter cars, which were to he used upon the Madison Avenue line. Owing to the lack of adequate facilities at the KinTshridge car barn and the delays due to the breaking in of the p:ty-as-vou-enter cars, the service on the Kingshridge line was very much interrupted, hut in order that the cars should be working smoothly when they were placed upon the Madison Avenue line, it seemed necessary that the motormen should be taught how to handle them and that the cars should be broken in before they were actually put into use. Consequently, no order was issued at that time.

After the pay-as-vote-enter cars were taken off the line, observations were continued and an order for a hearing w-ts issued, hearings duly held and evidence taken. At these hearings residents of this pnrt;on of the city appeared and complained regarding the ir..adequacv of the service at certain hours and the irregularity with which the cars were operated. Evidence was also presented by the inspectors of the Commission.

When our observations were first undertaken the Kinryshrid~ne line extenrjed from 125th Street and Eighth Avenue westerly over T2,th Street, Manhattan Street, Amster-dam Avenue and Broadway to the Harlem Ship Canal. It seemed clear at the very beginning that the service would be greatly improved if the southerly terminus of the line were changed from 125th Street and Eighth Avenue to First Avenue and 125th Street. This change was suggested to the company some time ago, was soon adopted by them and since it has been in operation has been found to work with great satisfac-tion to the public and to the company.

The evidence taken at the hearings shows that the service is adequate most of the time, except that it is very irregular and that upon Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays the number of cars rini is not sttfhcieiitly increased to handle the crowds which go to that section of the city for recreation.

I have directed, theref ire, Ilt•tt ❑ n order ate prepared which shall not require that it uniform schedule he tna iii ta ii: ed tIirnuehnnt the w.ek :ui'l upon Sundays, but that an elastic standard he tixvdF which will allow ilic company to operate few cars when few errs are nccilcd and yet will require the company to operate a larger number when the cicrn:ands tu:ike their operation necessary. 'I lie inspectors hive noted that the times of m:txinittnt cicn:and recur with considerable regularity, and it will be possible for the manager, by using the ordinary means of observation, to anticipate the demands and operate sufiicicnt cars to adequately handle the traffic. As regards regularity, there is opportunity for great improvement.

New York, May 27th, 1908.

FINAL ORDER (No. 536). Thereupon oil motion of Commissioner Maltbie duly seconded, a Final Order

(No. 536) was adopted, ordering atul directing the Third Avenue Railroad Company and Frederick 1V. 1Vhitridge, its Receiver,

(13) 0-543 Commissioner Bassett presented the following report in the matter of the hearing

on motion of the Commission on the question of fixing a (late for the completion by the Long Island Electric Railway Company of the construction of an overhead crossing over the tracks of the Long Island Railroad Company at the Jamaica and Hempstead 'Turnpike, Borough of Queens

In the Matter of

The Hearing on the AVlotion of the Commis-sion on the Question of fixing a date for the Completion of the Long Island Elec-tric Raiiway Company for the construction of an overhead crossing on the tracks of the Long Island Railroad Cont-pany at the Jamaica and Ilcnipstead Turnpike, Borough of Queens.

REPORT. In February, 1905, the Long Island Electric Railway Company, a street surface

road, filed with the Board of Railroad Ce,mniis',ioners, touter Section 68 of the Rail-road Law, an application for a determination whether their strc.t surface railroad should cross over or under or at grade of the tracks of the Long Island Railroad Cotn-pany at the Jamaica and Hempstead Turnpike.

In June, 1905, the Board of Railroad Coniniissioncrs approved of a temporary grade crossing, but made no determination as to the ultimate separation of grades. At the end of the year permission was given by the sauu Board for the continuation of the grade crossing to June t, i9o8.

The Long Island Electric Railway Company now asks for further permission to continue the grade crossing for one year, and ('it the hearing amended their applica-tion by asking an extension for two years. After examination of the papers and after testimony taken on the hearing, I ant of the opinion that the proccediug before the Board of Railroad Commissioners was never Iiumuy delcltllilleli, as no final provision was ever made for the grade of the new strLet railroad. 'I hat Board did not say that until June I, 19o8 the tracks should cress ❑ t grade, and after that date should be cle-vated or depressed; but the final grade of the track was left ltudetermined and this application is, by consent of the applicant company, and the consent of the Long Island Railroad Company, whose track is to be crossed, to be con~idcrcd a cuutiuuation of the old application.

]~rotn the testimony of Our own inspcctur, and that of the engineers of the two railroad Companies, it tvoui(] scent that this er,o.in.g is rnt',st c;u\cfcdy protected, and I believe that (until it is possib:e to sel)ar tc the gra(e of the Jamaica and Ileutpstcad Turnpike from the grade of the Lung lskond R;idra;rd, II at ]cast no1ii traffic on that highway is notch heavier th:ut at precut, the Lung Islanol Electric Railway Company should be allowed to remain on the ]iigiisay and cross It grade.

1 therefore subncit herewith an order reciting the e'1ltin11anion of the proceeding and granting, in the tuc:tnwltile, permission to the Company to continue to cross at grade.

FINAL Ot:ur:R (No. 543).

Thereupon on motion of Commissioner Bassett, duly seconded, a Final Order (No. 543) was adopted directing:

(I) That pending a final determination by this Commission as to the ultimate grade of the tracks of the Lone; Ishtnd Eicctric Railway Company at the grade cross-ing of the Jamaica and I Iempstead In rttpt kc with the Long Island Railroad Company, and pending the separation of the grades of the Jatn;tica and 11empstead Turnpike and the tracks 1,t the Long Island Railroad ('oDtp;iny. in the furoui;h i l urn, [Al, ;n nn event to exceed a period of two years from the (late of the making and filing of this order, permission is granted the Long Island Electric Railway Company to maintain its present crossing with the tracks of the Long Island Railroad Company at the Ja- maica and I l.cnritstxcui 'I'ttt trpikc, Ilotoitgh i', lj,.uaos, l try f New A ,rs -

(2) '['hat this permission shall cease and determine upon the separation of the grades of the Jamaica and Ilempstead Turnpike and the Long Island Railroad Com-pany, and that in the event of such separation of grades the tracks of the Long Island Electric Railway Company shall follow the grade of the Jamaica and Hempstead Turn-pike;

(3) That this permission shall cease and determine upon a final determination of the Public Service Connnission for the First District in this proceeding after a hearing duly had, upon tell days' notice to the Long Island Electric Railway Company and to the Long Island Railroad Company on or before June 1st, 1910;

Said order to take effect immediately and to continue in force until June ist, 1910.

In the Matter of

The Hearing on the Motion of the Com- mission on the Question of Repairs, Im-provements, and Additions to Equipment and Appliances, including Rolling Stock, of the New York City Railway Cotn-pany and of Adrian II. Joline and Doug-las Robinson, as Receivers of said Com-pany, in the particulars hereinafter set forth.

Overhauling Closed Cars, etc., Order for Hearing (No. 466).

OPINION. Several weeks ago the Commission adopted an order directing the Receivers of

the New York City Railway Company to overhaul and repair all of their open cars by the end of this month. At that time no action was taken relative to the closed cars, as it was considered more necessary that the cars to he used during the summer should be put in first class operating condition prior to the opening of the slimmer season when the closed cars would go out of use and the cpen cars come into use. With this work well tinder way the Commission took up the subject of overhauling and repairing the closed cars. At these hearings evidence was presented which showed that Receivers would be able to begin work upon the closed cars on the ist of June

RECORD. 6387 or shortly thereafter and that six (6) long cars and four (4) short cars could be turned out daily upon an average from and after the middle of June. At the rate of tell (to) a day the Receivers will have overhauled and repaired nearly all of the closed cars by the end of the fall. Our utvine rs have endeavored to work out a plan where-by all of titeni would be ready for use by the time open cars must be taken out of ser-vic(., but owing to tae lack of shop facilities, due to loss by fire, and to the impossi-bility of recot sirttcting the shops in time to operate them to their full capacity upon tl-e whole of this wvr rk, it dues not seem possible that the Receivers will be able to very pre; tl in •rease :.Love tell (to), the average number turned out per day. It is Itnssii C that sc uic unforeseen k ircttmstru cc may into rfere w II Ill nl; iii' n: ' ce of ;his average, but the order as drawn allows a certain amount of leeway and if any-thing unforeseen should arise, the Receivers may ask for a rehearing and the order can be modified if necessary.

New York, May 29, 1908. "l'hereupon on motion of Commissioner Maltbie, a Final Order (No. 544) was

adopted directing: ( i ) That the closed cars and closed car equipments of said New York City Rail-

way Company or of said Adrian H. Joline and Douglas Robinson, as Receivers of said Company, receive a thorough inspection, and that said closed cars and closed car equipments be thoroughly overhauled and repaired so that when completed said closed cars and closed car equipments shall be in a first-class operating and substantially new condition, having safe, proper. and adequate car bodies, headlights, pilot fenders, wir-ing, brasses, comniItatcrs, field coils, armature windings, trucks, brakes, controllers, auto*vatic circuit breakers, resistances, axle gear wheels, armature pinions and car wheels;

( 2 1 That sad New York City Railway Company, and its said Receivers, turn out, so overhmiied and repaired, on or before the ist d:ty of July, [908, not fewer than one hundred of said closed cars and closed car equipments, and that thereafter they turn out, so overhauled and repaired, the remaining closed cars and closed car equip-ments at the rate of not fewer than one hundred every ten working days until all of said closed cars and closed car equipments shall have been turned out so overhauled and repaired;

(3) That the New York City Railway Company, or its said Receivers, notify the Commission daily in writing, in a form to be prescribed by the Commission, of the number of said closed cars and closed car equipments so turned out as aforesaid, giv-ing the identification numbers thereof, and stating when and where the same are to be tested.

of the New York City Railway Company, in regard to Order No. 403 of the Corn-tnissiOlt calling for transcripts of certain "run-in" honks of said Company, together with the reply of the Cumtnission thereto, dated slay 27, 1908, and a further com-municatimt from said Company, dated Nlav 27, lyoti, which were ordered filed and were as follotys:

NEW YORK CITY RAILWAY COMPANY, 62I BROADWAY, JL

NEW YORK, May 23rd, i9o8. To the honorable the Public Service Cotumission for //[e First District, No. 154 Nassau

Street, New York City: DEAR SIRS—\V'e notice in one of the newspapers a statement to the effect that at

a meeting of your Board held yesterday your counsel was directed to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus cumpellinr obedience to your Order No. 403 ssucd on April 7th, 1908, by the terms of which, among other things, the New York City Railway Conilmny or its kccciscrs were directed to "furnish and forward daily to the Commission :t transcript of the daily entries in the so-called "run-in" book or books, showing, among other things, which of said car, are out of order."

Assuming this statement to be ci,rr, t, we beg to advise you that the content-I lc'.ted proceeding is qtrte uuuecess:nry on your part, as we have not refused, nor is it our intention to refuse the production „i any records or transcripts of records to which you tit:,c be entitled. In c,ur letter of April 13111, tom, acknowledging receipt of said Order No. 4n_;, Volt were adlvc,t 1>c u, that we should he able to fulfill its rctttlircmcnts subject to certain enumerated contingencies.

We ha cc sent no tran'cripts of records covering the subject of "rttu-in" cars for the reason that we have no record precisely ausyverint; the description in your Order. [n view of the fact that there had been some ini„rntal discussion of the subject with rcpresentativcs of yrntr 11 aril we hart a<snmetl (perhaps unwarrantably) that we should hear from yuutt further nn the matter ,n case it was deemed essential. The nearest approach we have to a record answering the description of your Order con-sists of certain sheets or slips signed daily by the motormen at the conclusion of their trips. Transcripts of these will be sent you daily if you wish, although it will involve eonsi,ler;tble clerical Work which seems to us unnecessarily burdensome, and it is only fair to state that such tr;utscript., in our judgment will not accurately give infor-ntatiun of the character which we assume from the context of your order is desired by you.

Yours very truly, (Signed) ADRIAN H. JOLINE, (Signal? DOUGLAS ROBINSON,

Receivers.

May 27th, i9o8.

Mr. ADRIAN H. JoLINE and Mr. DouGL.'s RoBiNsoN, Receivers, New York City Rail-Wily Co., 62[ Broa(lway, New York City:

L)E.AR. S is—I ant directed by tine Commission to reply as follows to your letter of May 23rd:

It is true that upon last Friday the Commission directed counsel to apply to the court for a writ (if niandalills compelling obedience to Order No. 403 of the Commis-,ion, and to proceed to collect penalties for violation. The resolution was as follows:

\%hercas, The New York City Railway Company and its Receivers, Adrian H. Joline and Douglas Robinson, have violated Order Nu. 403 of the Commission in ;, as, ing fa led to furnish transcripts of the daily entries ill their "run-in" books as required by said order; and

\Vllereas, Thirty-[tine days have elapsed between the time when the order took .fiat and the present (late.

Resolved. that the Counsel be authorized and directed to prepare a petition for a mandamus compelling the New York City Railway Company and its Receivers to supply such transcripts, and also

Resolved, 1 hat the Counsel be and hereby is authorized and directed to com-inence an action or actions against the said New York City Railway Company and its Receivers, Adrian H. Joline and Douglas Robinson, to recover all forfeitures and penalties incurred for said violations of said Order No 403 and prosecute the same to final judgment pursuant to the provisions of the Public Service Commissions Law.

'1'11is action was taken in view of the following facts : Upon April 7th the Com-mission adopted an order relating principally to the overhauling and repairing of the open cars operated upon the lines of the New York City Railway Company. One of the sections in this order was:

Ordered, That from and after April 13, t9o8, the said New York City Railway Company, for its said Receivers, furnish and forward daily to the Commission a transcript of the daily entries in the so-called "run-in" book or books, showing, among other things, which of said cars are out of order.

This order was adopted after two hearings had been held, one upon March 24tb and the other upon April 3rd, at which hearings Mr. Oren Root appeared, at the request of Commissioner 3t;tltbic, and testified regarding the matters then being considered. At the last hearing lie was asked by Commissioner Maltbie, who pre-sided, whether he knew of anv reason why "copies of the entres in the 'run-in' book should not be furnished the Connmissio'jll (page 5t of the record). Mr. Root re-plied: "That is a matter which the receivers are considering and I prefer not to answer it while it is tinder consi deration by them," which clearly shows that you were advised of the terms of the proposed order relating to this subject. The discussion between the Commissioner and Mr. Root continued, and it appeared that Mr. Root thought the furnishing of such information to the Commission "would be very detri-mental to the working forces in the car houses," but he was not able to explain to the satisfaction of the Commissioner in what way it would be detrimental. Nowhere

6388 THE CITY RECORD. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1908.'

in the evidence does it appear that there was any misunderstanding as to the precise records referred to by the language of the order. Mr. Root specifically stated that he knew of no other reason why transcripts should not be furnished and admitted that the records were kept. Further, when Mr. McLimont was examining your property, "run-in" books were being kept, and the records of the Commission now contain transcripts of these books for the month of October. If you are not now keeping them you must very recently have changed your practice.

Mr. McLimont, the electrical engineer of the Commission, testified that the transcripts from. the "run-in" books would furnish valuable information to the Commission and that by no other means could the Commission so promptly be in-formed as to the operations of the companies and the condition of the equipment as by such daily reports. `Ir. McLimont also testified that lie had operated a number of street railway's, and as an operating man lie knew of no reason why copies of the entries in the "run-in" book should not be furnished to the Commission. At a pre-ceding hearing in another case Mr. Maher, general manager for the receiver of the Third Avenue Railway Company, testified that he knew of no reason why copies of the entries of the '`run-in" books should not be furnished, and in compliance with other orders adopted by the Commission where the precise language is used as adopted in Order No. 403, reports are being made to us daily from several other companies in New York City.

Older No. 403, which has been disobeyed, was adopted April 7th, 1908. No request for :t re-hearing upon this order was received from you, and under date of April 13th. you wrote stating that Order Nn. 403 would be accepted and obeyed, subject to certain contingencies, but not one of these relate apparently to the "run-in'

book or hooks. \L'hether the transcripts of the entt ies in the "run-in" books will give us the in-

formation which we desire can be determined when they have been furnished, and .,f course this is a matter to be decided by the Commission. But the Commission hits tonnei that the transcripts furnished I:y other companies have been of great value. if there is any question as to the form to he used by you, the Commission will gladly <'.i±rua this with you. But when over a month has elapsed, the failure to obey an urmie .scents t. , warrant some definite action. The Commission expects that its orders will he obey eel.

Very truly yours, TRAVIS H. WHITNEY, Secretary.

rntan ta. the 1Sr aril of :Aldermen: May 24t11, tyu8.

h,,ifi. FaTxlrt: 1". \li (iiw;s`, /'re).ident, board of .I/ti,•rinem, City I tall, New York: I)E.vu SIR-1n reply to the resolution tumpte l by the Board of Aldermen, request-

mg to e Public Service Commission to order the New York City Railway Company to refrain front storing cars (ti the Lexington Avenue line from 116th Street to i29th .Street, I l,eg to state that the matter has been considered by the Commission.

Iiivestigatiiii his developed the following facts: Within the past year or so the New York City Railway Company has lost, by lire, a number of large car barns, which has grca!ly decreased the capacity of their barns for storing cars. Certain of them are i ow being rebuilt, and because of this re-cimstructiun it is difficult to use any large p' rtion of the site., for storage pturpilses. It has become necessary, therefore, to adopt ether ute;uts and the Commission has made several suggestions, parlieukmrly in the di-r.ctiun i.f the utilization of vacant block,. Ilut owing to the fact that the surface cars cry operated by u title rgruunrl conduit, a large amount of construction work would be t ccessary for the utilization of such vacant lots as storage yards. If the cars were ntcrhead trolleys, this would be a simple and easy matter, but as these cars must be t:sed every day, the vacant lots could not be adequately equipped to handle all of the nrs \cry much before the barns themselves will have been reconstructed.

Furthermore, the Commission has directed the receivers to overhaul and repair emery one of their cars, amounting to upwards of 2,000 in all. This work has requires] th' emmplovmemtt of a large number of men and a great increase in their shop facilities for repairing and painting the car bodies and the overhauling of the electrical equip-ntents. Much of the space in the car houses which ordinarily might lie used for storage has been converted, therefore, into shops.

The Commission has also ordered the companies to operate a larger number of rtrs than they have been running, which has necessitated the storing of the cars during the night where they can be run out when needed in the morning, and makes it im-possible to remove the cars any great distance from the lines upon which they are being used.

The total result of these facts is that it has been necessary for the company to -,ore many of their cars in the streets. We have had this in mind for some time and would gladly have issued an order requiring the adoption of some other method, but it vcercs impossible to repair the cars as rapidly as the public desires, to operate as many cars as we think should be operated to meet the demands of the public—and the num-hc. r is being increased from week to week—without temporarily storing cars in streets.

lie Commission feels positive that when the Board of Aldermen understands the con-Q:;ions, they will agree with the Commission that it is preferable, temporarily, to under-~o the inconvenience due to storing of cars in the streets rather than to interfere with the work of overhauling the cars and to make necessary the operation of a less nurn-her from day to day. I wish to assure you that as soon as it is possible to order the companies to cease using the streets for storage purposes, this will be done.

Very respectfully, (Signed) W. R. WILLCOX, Chairman.

PLANS FOR THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF TILE VIADUCT TO BE BUILT ACROSS THE "SUNNYSIDE

YARD" ON TILE LINE OF TIIOMSON AVENUE, QUEENS.

The President of the Borough of Queens, to whom on May 8, 19(-)8, was referred the plans for the superstructure of the viaduct to be built across the "Sunnyside Yard," on the line of Thomson avenue, Borough of Queens, asked unanimous consent for the present consideration of his report in the matter.

No objection being made, the following report was presented and referred to the Chief Engineer.

THE CITY OF NEW YORK, OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS.

LONG ISLAND CITY, May 15, 1908. Board of Estimate and Apportionment, City of New York:

GENTLEMEN-In the matter of the plans for the Thomson avenue crossing over the Sunnyside Yard, referred to me at your meeting on Friday last, I have the honor to report: That accompanying please find a general report made by Mr. Erlandsen, the Bridge Engineer, to whom I referred the matter for an expert opinion. I am pleased to say that his report is favorable. The only suggestion made therein which,

to my mind, would warrant making any change is in connection with the arrangement of the structure at this time for the installation of trolley tracks.

I believe the plans should be altered so as to allow the placing of tracks, when the same become necessary, with the least possible interference of the traffic across the structure.

Yours respectfully, LAWRENCE GRESSER,

President of the Borough of Queens.

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS, BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS, ENGINEER'S OFFICE.

LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK, May 14, I908.

Hon. LAWRENCE GRESSER, President of the Borough of Queens: DEAR SIR-I submit below the result of my examination of the drawings of the

superstructure of the Thomson Avenue Viaduct. The plans submitted consist of seven (7) sheets. The first one (No. 502) is a

general drawing of the Thomson Avenue Viaduct, and the remaining six sheets (Nos. 503, 504, 505, 517, 544 and 548) show most of the typical details, but not all. Thomson Avenue Viaduct as submitted is an extremely complicated skew strttcture, of which it is almost correct to say that no two pieces are alike. Many sheets in addition to those submitted are therefore required to show the entire structure, and inasmuch as the agreement with the City requires that "all plans be submitted to and approved by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment before the construction is commenced," it would probably be just as well if the complete set were submitted for approval.

The drawings submitted cover only the steel superstructure and the electric light poles. The masonry plans were submitted and approved almost a year ago, and the masonry itself is almost completed. Any suggestloh involving change of design is therefore out of the question, though it would Seeni front the brief examination that it has been possible to make in the limited time availagyblc, that there is a simpler and more economical design. The protection piers, all concrete, the _paving and the pipes, although shown in a general way, are not intended to be covered by the drawings sub-nlitted, and additional drawings will be submitted later (ill covering them.

'The superstructure as submitted has been very carefully designed, in accordance with the latest edition (tgol) of Cooper's Spceiiicatinl,s for Steel IIighway and Electric Railway Bridges and Viaducts, Class AI, the only change front Cooper's specifications being that the pavement is carried on reinforced concrete instead of being carried on plain concrete and buckle plates. 'I his change is in accordance with the best practice. Mlle material of which the superstructure is to be made is uleditnn steel. This infor-

111:1 1 non should <•tpp, ar on one of the drawings. The structure consists of fourteen deck girder spatis of varying lengths and depths,

supported on coltmins which ire placed in rows generally parallel with the tracks. The girders in spans I, 2, 13 and 14, at the two ends of the struClure, are imbedded in con-crete to protect them from corrosion by the gases fr(,m the steam locunlotives Which will run under these girders. 'file remaining spans are not so protected because it is ex-pected that only electric locomotives will run tinder then spans. ']'Ile question, how-ever, is not very vital, as the steam locomotive is soon likely to be a thing of the past.

Although the structure as submitted has been designed to carry a trolley car on any part of the roadway, no provision has been made for carrying the tracks. This is not in accordance with the practice in this vicinity. 'I he l3lackwylls island Bridge, for example, has been designed to carry four elevated railway tracks and four trolley tracks, and complete provision has been made for these tracks, although no franchise has been granted to any railway company to cross the bridge. It is therefore recom-mended that the plans be altered to provide stringers for two standard gauge trolley tracks placed in the middle of the roadway twelve feet apart, centre to centre of tracks. This change, if Made now, will require chiefly a redistribution of material. But if ma,Ic after the c,mmpleti,m of the structure the change will involve the destruction or rebuilding of a considerahle portion of the structure, under much difficulty and expense Ind It great incn:n eni,~uCe tc, the traveling public.

'these tracks should he designed for a train of two cars, as it is a common occur-reuce for a disabled or dead car to be placed in a train with the next live car.

The information contained in this report, other than that obtainable from the draw jugs submitted, was furnished by Mr. Alfred Noble, who kindly placed a complete set of the plans at Illy disposal.

Respectfully, OSCAR ERLANISEN.

In the Matter of

The hearing before the Board of Esti-mate and Apportionment of The City of New York relative to the taking of certain lands in the County of Nassau for water supply in The City of New York.

To the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York: The Village of Freeport, a municipal corporation in the County of Nassau, New

York, doth hereby protest against the acquiring of lands by The City of New York

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, rgos. THE CITY RECORD, 6391

for water supply in the said Village of Freeport, and doth further object and protest to the courses and distances for said water supply as shown on the filed maps.

The specific objections by the Village of Freeport are as follows: First-Objects to any land being taken in any part of the Village of Freeport

by tl,c said City of New York. Second-Objects to taking any land in the Village of Freeport south of the Long

Island Railroad tracks. Third-Objects to taking any land in the Village of Freeport unless a binding

agreement be entered into between the Village of Freeport and The City of New York to the effect that the said City of New York shall have no right to place wells or infiltration galleries in any part of said Village of Freeport,

Fourth-Objects to the taking or crossing of any of the streets or highways in the Village of Freeport by the said City of New York.

Fifth-Objects to the interfering by The City of New York in any manner with the water supply of the said Village of Freeport, its municipal water plant, or to any of its inhabitants.

VILLAGE OF FREEPORT, Protestant. By DANIEL MORRISON, President.

LEO FISHEL, Attorney for the Village of Freeport. Office and Post Office Ad-dress, No. 29A Railroad Avenue, Freeport, N. Y.

The following was presented and placed on file:

To the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York: We, the undersigned, citizen; and taxpayers of the Village of Rockville Centre,

Nassau County, New York, do respectfully petition your Honorable Board that you modify the map or maps showing the lands between the Merrick road and Morris avenue in the Village of Rockville Centre, New York, proposed to be taken for the purpose of extending the 72-inch steel pipe line from Clear Stream eastwardly, so that the said City of New York shall acquire all of the land so proposed to be taken, subject to an casement for the public for road purpose.,, and so that the whole of said strip of land shall be and remain an open street and avenue forever.

The reason we make this petition is that the strip of land in question passes through the most thickly populated and best hu4~hess section of the Village of Rock-ville Centre, and unless it may be used for a public street it will become a dumping ground, a resort for vagrants, and mar the appearance of the village, while if said strip is used as a public street it may be lighted and policed as the other streets of the village. If this strip may be so used as a public street we do not think the business interest of the village will suffer.

Dated May 6, 1908. F. G. IIARRINGTON, JR., HOWARD L. SNOW, RALPH SEAMAN,

'I hat the above entitled proceeding, for (lie acquiring of title to the lands, etc., re-rinircd for the opening if Spuyten Duyvil road was instituted by the Corporation of The City of New York by application made to the Snprcmc Court for the appoint-I lent of Comntissiou'rs of Estimate and Assessment in June, 1897; that thereupon Ed-ward l;.

On the 18th clay of May, tqo, , the said Commissioncrs Made their report to the Supreme Court, in which they made awards for land taken, also other awards for the closing of Old Kingshridge road and assessed ahnut 2o per cent, of the entire costs and expenses of the proceeding upon the property which they deemed to be benefited,

RECORD. 6395

and left the remaining 8o per cent., approximately, as a deficiency for The City of New York to pay.

The opinion of the said Commissioners upon the question of the amount which they thought they could properly assess for benefit upon the lands in the locality is hereunto annexed, marked "Schedule B," and made a part of this petition. The order appointing the said Commissioners had directed them to assess the total amount of the awards and costs and expenses of the proceeding upon the property benefited.

A motion was made by property owners to conth- m said report in the Supreme Court before Mr. Justice Blanchard, but was opposed by the City of New York on the ground that the Comntissioncrs had failed to obey the order of the Court direct-ing them to assess the entire exp nsc of the preceedin.g upon the property benefited; and said motion to confirm the report was thereupon denied by Mr. Justice Blanchard, who appointed ]ion. Ernest Hall, John Knoeppel and Pierre G. Carroll, Esqs., Com-Inissioners to make a new report.

On or about the 23d day of January, rgo8, the said last named Commissioners made and filed their preliminary report in the premises, nvhercin they male awards for land taken amounting to $,(9,317.5 r, and awards for closing Old Kiegsbridge road amounting to $42,1. 53.30, making a tntrtl of $81,460.81.

The assessment in the said preliminary report amounts to $IT •5,2S0.52, and is ex-tenricd over the entire territory from Spuyten Duyvil Cock northerly to a line Ioo feet north of Two Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, and from the ITudson River easterly to a line ioo feet cast of the easterly side of Preach',:rv, in Kiunshcridge.

Upon information and liehicf that the surplus in said tentative asscssutent over the awards is necessary to cover other awards and increases of awards which must ncees-sarily or justly be made, also the expenses of the said two Commissions and of the Bureau of Street Openings.

That said total assessment is fu' greater in amnnnt than the total benefit derived from the property within the area of as=essmcut, and that cac11 and every assessment upon your petitioners' property as shown in "Schcrltile :1," hereto annexed, is greater than the Lencfit derived bv any of your petitioners yvillt respect to their said several properties from the said proceedirng.

Chat the portion of the Spuyten Duyvil road aerluired in -aid proceeding starts front the Spuytrn Duyvil station, tuidcr the proposal Iicnry Tludson \Temnrial Bridge, and 11Is1 litmus southherly and then iltrthicnstc•rlt ,wound the souohc•rlc and easterly sides of the Spttyten Duyvil Ilill, f0llmt-ing thrrmghnnt about one-third of its course time Old I' ingsl ridge road, and daring the rc'nittinrlcr of its rnttrs • rims parallel to and on an average of i,o feet westerly from the 'all old road to Kingsbricl e, where it meets Riverdale avetntc and West h' go Tfnnd cc' d and 'IIiriieilt s'reet, sib ich Iast named street is the existing thorottehfare between Spuyten Dnvt it I Jill :nirl the. territory in The City of New York easterly and southerly th refrrnn.

That the Sttpyten Duyvil I l ill l,v the rnnstrttction of the TTcnry I furlsnu licmorial Bridge carrying the Riverside drive acrn:s the Spuyten T)nvvil Creel, will become one of the most important portions of the rite for the purposes of recreation and sightseeing, and the said Spueten T)ttvvil road will b• the principal and casiest means of aIsprrnaelt to the Henry Hudson Mcmnrial Bridge, from the subway station at Broad-tr;p, air dyf'wo Tftmndred ,tnrl Thirtieth street, at'rl front all thrit part of the city which lies to the cant and south of the Spnv(en T)m'vil ditrict.

The lines and grades now proposed for the drive are at many points it decided improvement ever those previously adopted, and if the plan were carried tilt it seculs probable that the drive tt-onld hecoute one of the finest boulevard, of this character ever construetcd. In view, however, of the fact that the old street lots already been acquired and that at least one ch;tnge ha, already been made in its lines at a very great cost, it would scent doubtful if the u'cnmtcnt suggested Miller the present plan could he carried out without Modals :i (ssing property in the vicinity.

I am of the opinion that the desired result could hi', to a very large extent, ac-cotnplished by more closely adhering to the original lines of the street, hat vwild reconnncntl that it public hearing he given on the plan for the I,urpnse of ol,t;tining the views of owners of property in the vicinity, it icing tit olerAood that it very still- stantiql part of the cost of the ill ttc(ucntent v1•((11td be nut by Icuvi1tg an mselsmoot for ben(fit.

The situation is as follows: '

On November 2,, lgob, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment adopted plaits submitted by the Bridge Commissioner showing the land needed for the bridge ap-

proaches and also certain streets to be closed and other streets to be laid out in place thereof, and oon the 511111 d;tte the Board authorized proceedings to acquire title to the lands required for the structural approach, these proceedings being based upon a plan tiled by the Contnti.,si(>uer of Bodges in the office of the Register of New York Counly nn I'd hruary ao, t ,o;, ItIt 1 rltc procee(lings being taken under section 1436 an;l 5uuh5c'qtieuit Sei'tir , t's of the Cl:wter.

Am' c>timate of the cost of its acquisition, thcrrfnre, is merely a. rnnr-rh g.'uc=s. T should say tlrtt the expense vv'ul 1 lie not less than g2.,,0.000."

The assessed value• as gcti,mteel h' the "hnpra,graphiir1 1ssim•cr of the Bnrrenish of Brooklyn, is $20.000.

It has been the practice of this office for 5n1115' time not to present to the Board nlans for the having out of streets unless the\, inclncl...I the est:thlishnlcnt of grades. but, in view of the fact that this prouosed extension of I5lnI1,u:ah avenue is located ttpnn the meadows and marsh hurls of Jamaica Ray. whip' nr, pU:n for int0rscebn, strcets has vet been crnsirdered', it is imprartieal7e to flx graide's at the prs=cut time, and it is believed proper to snake a'1 exception in this -as.o

Ayeotion is also called to the fact lb at 1 nulls he:t'l line, hrive not 1 eo c'stahlished except one line shown upon the (own survey man at the foot of the present Fl;ithas1 avenue.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER, May 7, 1908•

lion. GEORGE 13. MCCLELLAN, ,1lntiur, Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Ahpor-tiontxent:

SIR—11cccwislt is tr;tn,mittrd a resolution of the Local Board of the Murrisaiia 1)istnet, Borough of 'f he II rum s, adopted on January Ili, 1908, recommending a change in the City map by laying nut extc11,11 Its of Itrvallt ;t\cnlIc, ladle street, Coster street, '.1Ianid:1 street and 11g;1\ta1 acvcllnc to the bulkhead line, :111(1 for closing and discon-tinning Edgcwaler ru:ul, bet 0lull "1'ftt2ll)' stlet and the Ship Basin.

'l • he itcp submittal with Ibis resolution shows that lade street, Manida street and Ryawa avenue hive' already been laid (Jilt to the bulkhead line, and that title to Manida street has been 1ct;;tI1y acclui re' cl. "I he object of the resolution is therefore to provide extensions f, r Itrycult avnHft clad f:1ilc street, having a length of about 250 feet in each case. 'lie atip;altcas If Ryatva avenue is intended tel be changed through the short block be-twrcn 1l:ire'1to street and the East River and the angle heretofore shown at this point is to he out ittcd. Edgewater road, laid out as a marginal street approximately parallel with the bulkhead line, is to be discontinued.

The resolution is accompanied by It number of petitions advising that the water-front in this vicinity is available for commercial purposes only, and that the present

location of Edgewater road is so close to the water-front that it will prevent the con-'I ruction of large warehouses or buildings required for a development alr,ng the lines indicated. The petitioners also call attention to the fact that Edgewater roarl, between

itfany street and the basin, does not form a continuous highway owing to the location of the basin, which intervenes between Bryant avenue and Edgewater road as laid nut cast of the basin, while the street west of Tiffany street has already been removed from the map.

If the petition were to be approved it would result in laying out a block of Bryant avenue, of Paile street and of Coster street, and having a length ranging from 800 feet to 1,100 feet, with an outlet only at one end. In my judgment it would be in-advisable to create cul-de-sacs of this character, but I see no reason why a new align-ment of the Edgewater road through the three blocks between Bryant avenue and Manila street could not be made and in such a way as to leave the water-front avail-able for such development as might be desired. The proposed discontinuance of Edgewater road, between Manila street and "Tiffany street, is unobjectionable, as the street system here proposed affords ample means for circulation.

The ship basin referred to by the petitioners and indicated upon the final maps of the Borough does not appear to have been placed upon the City map by competent authority. The treatment of this basin is an important factor in the development of the street system in this vicinity-, and before any change is made in the map I would recommend that the Dock Commissioner be requested to advise the Board as to whetltcr the construction of this hasiu is included in the plans of his Department. In case a basin is to be located at this point I beg to suggest that his attention also be u-2tIed to the desirability of formally submitting a plan to the Sinking Fund Commis-sioners for approval definitely fixing the lilies to be followed.

Respectfully, NELSON P. LEWIS, Chief Engineer.

In staking these improvements the owners of the land have fimnd it desirable' to depart 5 111•.vuhat from the street lines originally proposed, and the mall now pleSelcq i' intended to legalize the elc111gCS made. These mcltale a nluthili(LtiOu in the a1i0oraent of a number of streets meeting the Itronx and Pe•lhant parknav just west of Willianisbridge roa(I, a reduc-tiun ill the width of Brad,,' anemic : nil Pierce a\entle from So feet to 6o feet, a slight change in the position of Morris Park avenue, and the creation of a marginal street adjoining the New York, New H:n-1-1 and Ilrtrtford llailroad Company's land on the northerly side.

'1-he area is already w'cll'.np~hhfcd with vt- ide streets, artcl I see no objection to the redaction proposed in the teiil'.h of ltra<l': and fierce avenues. The other changes secure more direct connections fi ,t' the IIruuo;u'd streets 1111 are, in my jttclgment, desirafile ones. 'I lie map shox%a a higlm as bridge on the line if Kaotctisf avenue over the tracks of the railroad, and fit hrirl , 5 :tlr,ng the lilies of l';oolning, avenue, I lone avenue, Lurting aVenuc 21141 l l:lip-ht :1m oanc, us hich are not prosided for under the railroad contract. 'I heir inclusion npr'n the 10111 at this time does not appear to be objectionable, althnuCh it should he tterlrr;tn,~d that they would not be built until such time as the (leveln1meut of the territory would warrant the required cxpciidi-ture.

I see no reason mulls the elaUe e cbusld not he made, and would recommend such action after a public hcgrin . \VllI the lunc1crslandiig, however, that tticS- represent the desires of all of the pr pens' interests affected.

SIR--1-lerewith is transmittcd a resr;ltitiun of the Local I3oartl of tile \cwtown District, Borough of Queens, adopted on .AIn-il 1,3, oohs, rcconimemiclirig shzsi Juniper Swamp road, between Juniper atcnuc an(l Mount Olivet avenue be rc-clIshfi'heil upon the City map.

Juniper Sisaiitp road is shown in 6oiIeci lines upon a tcutative ntap of the AIas-petlt section, which was adopted he the IIiummd of l~stituatc and .1t>1>urtiunnlent un Novctnher 13, I1)03, as crossing the Lutheran Ccnlclety and busing front a point • ,n Mount Olivet avenue just wrest of \ieIrOpolitsll cn cline to a 1101111 on Jiiiiiper an riddle about opposite 1\larion ZI\Cliui' No expl:utatiou appears on this slap as to the tuc:tn- ing of the symbol used for its lines, although I think it would be ttncicrstoocl that it was not intended to include it in the street system. This stop also showed l ;lli 1 avenue as approxitnatelv follohiiig the line between Mount Olitst Ccuteieg\ ;111r1 the Lutheran Cemetery, but at a sumh>scqueiit chtte all uifillion wits received In iii the Corporation Counsel advising that the street hacl turn illegally laid Out across the cemetery lands, and that title to it could trot be as I uirecl.

On June 28, I97, the Huai mat) of Section 2y w;ts I ll"PtCl by the Boald of l=sti-ntate and Apportionsleilt, iuclullillK a sslzih area at the southerly end of the Lutheran Cemetery, which was crossed he the Juniper Swanlp road. 'I lie lilies of the street are not shows on this map, and uo IIr,te appears nil it to clearly indicate that streets not shown were to be discontinued and cluscrl.

The resolution is accompanied 1>v a petition signal by property owners in the vicinity, and calls attention to the fact that certain p ,rtiotts of the Juniper Swamp road had been used as a public hightcay fur nt ire ti au fifty years, and that it was the only street connecting Juniper anemic and Nlottnt Uliv.t avenue fur a distance of about one and a half miles. 1lie resrlltttinn is also acumtt>anied by reports front the Engineer of the Topographical Bureau, showing that the Street is referred to ill conveyances dating as fan hack as 1541, a o l that the rleech under which the Lutiler;H Cetuetecy Corporation acquired title to the ;tdjuining property dill not include the street. This report also indicates that the cemetery aiuhoeities Ii aye erected a fence around their property, shuttim, out the 1ml~lir from tin inc of the strict; that inter-ments have been, or are about to be mule within the Street lines, and that a lnauso-leum has been erected and a larger one is under c (mist nil clic;u, hods encroaching upon the old street.

An examination of the map shr,ws that the area lmll,leel by i\[unnt Olivet avenue, Fresh Pond road, (,rand street, Juniper aveminc and \lc n~tu,lilan avenue, having a length of about One mile, allot a width of nearly Sic halt mile, is iihiilfv occupied by the Mount Olivet and L.utheran eefneterics, vnl, ill ni; juiImr•ni, the eoliplaint made by the petitir,ners that thc;c cemeteries lire ilct,ritc ;ulioilin„ localities front a direct means of connnunicatiun is ;t well fOundt-d one.

Before the change is considered by the Hard. I would recruimend that the Corporation Counsel be rerluested t~> advise whet Inr the effect of the adul,tiun of the maps referred to has been to discontinue and Close this street and to part with the public easement, and if such is the case, whether it is possible t„ again restore the street to the snap and to widen it or improve it.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER, J4L

May 19, 19o8.

Hon. GEORGE L. MtCLELLAN, ,iiayor, Chairman of the Board of Estimate and fl/,por-tionnicnt:

SIR--Herewith is transmitted a communication front the President of the Bor-ough of Queens, through his Sccretary, bearing date of Januare I5, I1)<>8, requesting the adoption of final maps of Sections r, a, 13, 14, 1, 30 and 31 of the Borough of Queens. Since the date of this communication the final flint) of Section 16 has also been pre-senter] for consideration at the same time.

These eight naps comprise the westerly p._rtion of the Mttspeth section of the Borough, for most of which a tentative map was adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment on November 13, 1903, and includes an area of about 1,625 acres, bounded approximately as follows: Annable avenue, Calvary Cemetery, Berlin avenue,

the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Railroad, ]llaspetIi avenue, Clcrtuont avenue, Mount Olivet avenue, I1letropolitami avenue, Lee place, the Montauk Branch of the Long IsIand Railroad, i\'[adi iii iii street, 1,resli Pond road, )Myrtle avenue, Cooper avenue, the L'orou ;•h line, - ewtown Creek, and Greettpoint aveutle.

7- Ite tintl ntiips now cubntitted were all approved by the Board on Jim e 28, 1907, tint pri ,visiill wns not made for securing cnnforntity wills the various br,utches of the Long Island Railroad and with one of the Iines of the Brooklyn Rail itl "I• ran iii t Cont- pally vi hich is operated under a steaun railroad franchise. Since this date it study has been III iii le of the changes which slay be properly carried out iu the railroad lines for the purpose of perntaneutiv adjusting their position with reference to the street system, anti the plans now submitted 11111 ltly the results of the investigation.

'Vlinor changes are made in the grades shown for sct'cral of the streets and in a fete cases street sallies have been changed. Advantage is also taken of tltc opportunity to stake a change in the lines of Ralph avenue, and Rlcecken street, at their intcrsec-tiorl witch Forest avenue all (l in accordance with the recrnrtmendatiill previously made by the 13oat•d of Estimate and _Apportionuten! its to the t rent ntent to be givers birth of these streets. "Cite lit' ii maps also show live public places hating aim aggregate area of u.145 acres. 'These comprise small triangular arras located at vtrcet intersections and gsner.b1y of iliiiit'nsiiimis too small to permit If their utilization for Itbfdtllg.

'I. lie most important changes in street riracic dttt' to the retuljtl stilt : lit t inicct the railroads are I lent ctl at flushing' avenue, where the present street grade is to be low-

'ere(l about 6.5 feet, at .lhdrcw,; avenue, where it is to be raised 7.6 fret, at Collins avenue, where it i_. to be lowered about 7 feet tut Tiliot zn'enttc, where it is to be low-erecl . feet, and at Norge street, where it is to be lowered litalrly to feet. With the ex-ception of the one first noted all of the change, 110 iv proposed will apparently secure a street elevation more closely conforming with the topography than was the case under the grades heretofore adopted.

At the present time there arc in use within the limits corcrc'rf by these maps 32 grade crossings, one crossing where the street is carried over the railroad, and three crossings where the street passes tinder the railroad, staking a total of 36 crossings. l nder the plans now proposed 12 grade crossings will be retained, 34 crossings are provided where the street is carried beneath the railroad, and 7 crossings are arranged for where the street is carried over the rtifm l(I, rwalt;ll.g ill a net lain of 17 crossings and a discoutinuancc of 20 grade a•nssillg~. It lltipit be noted that tic' crossings now in use at six streets are to be pc'rt>tamiclitl discrnttinucd, while at seven miter streets the proposed grades are such that the crossing now in (1St' will have to he abanefollcci until such tithe as the railrii;cl ilii1lrrnrrtmcnt is made.

The changes ill the Montauk I)is•isinn of the Lora„ Tsl:uug Railroad affect the entire length of the railroad within the limits of the slap, witl> the exception of ;t very short section in the vicinity of L;utrcl Ilill bnttliv:i'd, shire the t milt' rrnssing now ill use is to be regtlscQ until such time as a high Icvcl bridge shall have been provided across Newtown Creek. lLtwecn I.;utrel Ilill avcnuc and (Dishing aecnnc the mailrr,ad is to be elevated suhficielttl\ to permit of cite tytug it over \laspcth ;venue, Grand atcnue tuul I ftsshcnE etcenttc, Ville snutM of i'iii'itiiiig avenue the r;tilruad is lo be lie- press.cl slFIleiently to pcwiilt r it carr)ill it Miller all of the strrrts ititeest•ctcrl.

'I_he street grades along the line of the L'nsltwick h;eaIc•il hurt been Gxed with the unclerslarrlirng that the eaiirOsri %hill be t'lwateci through sfllvnt its entire length, and sufficiently to give a tiiillimtlill clearance of abn,ut 17 feet.

The 1iisct'grcctts lit•aischm oozes a large nnntbes• of stnuls its the vicinity of the Borough Ile, atpprrixiumateiy at 1!tc street grade. The present railruarl grade is very stct'Il, and the lino is now' but lilt It' sisal.

The grade, proposed alolig the line of the Lutheran Cemetery brands are based upon the elevation c>f this road as an cXtt'li;iilli of the clrraltIl Structure within th= limits of the h,dossgc of llrooki}- n and witli which it connects.

To tn;eke these k1nns binding ttpoll both the rIhIotud t'llmpan\' and the City the law cunt_nlplatcs that the mall shonlrl be _siiinhtted to the l'tIbfcc Service Commission before approval. .A question has been raised as to the effect of the approval of the plan by the Public Service CommissiOn, it being feared that this might result in forcing the actual c,llstrueelion apses the Cita and the railroad crmtpany prim- to the time iVhlcli it wa.s reaps needed, or at a tiuuc wll('rl money teas rtut I\'allollc to meet the very large expense ivhlcil wyould be nrc,,ii(nc(l. I believe, however', that the rit-sieell result of 't;elllc ldllg grades so lint 1Lca vuotllrl uol have to be changed when the railroad im-procc•mcnt teas nt:vlc, allot ;tt the siantc tints himling the railroad companies lid follow the intended grades when ntttkilig ill?prrnnmcilts, could be brought about by an agree-ntent bd'twi.cli the Board of l stint;itc an d ,Apportionment and each of the cnnipslllcs affected, under which th1 profiles forming the basis of these 1111th; contl(I be ratified by both. 'flit' Board of Estimate and jic1ipnrliunnteut eallinlly could not by any agrt'c-nit'lit divest itself of the power cuuferrcd 11911 it by section 442 of the Charter to change the City trap whenever it slay d ettt pnhlic i;tterest to require such change, and any ngm'('etncmlt entered into tvoulcl have to recognize thi:; power. This could be done by mahil ., the grades binding opens the raill-Oaul elcltupeilBes so long its no changes arc made in the street grades by the BBoard of Estimate and :A1>porlirmnrcnt, unless such changes were 111111 111111/ llgrced ulx,n ctctwees the railroad Company and the City. In fairness to the railroad con 11111ies, however. 1 believe that the agreement would have to be drawn in such ,I way as to Wlil'i(' them from its terns; in east- grades were changed without their eOnsYl)t. The agrtouelit eotlicl also he made to include a stipll-Iation un ter. part of Ilse railroad company n„t to oppose proceedings for acquiring title to strrcis crossing their lincs, with lil t mtd~'rtitanrling that before a crossing were actually c?,nytructcd the provisions of law existing at the time and governing such work should be fully comf,heti with.

T would i'cd'onmiellll the apl-,val of the Midis nriw sainsc1tcd with the ttndcrstand-ing that an informal notice will he sem's-eed nlmh both the the railroad csmtpallics of the proposed action, and I would audi re•commeend that the Corporation (llhllsel he re-rluested to prepare a form of a.grccnunl which nt.iy be entered into between the Board if Estimate and Apportionment ac•tin,,f on behalf of the City, and the Long Island Railroad Company and Ilie Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company which would accomplish the results herein outlined.

OFFICE OF TIIE CHIEF ENGINEER, J+L April 4, 1908,

Hon. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN, 3Iayor, Chairman of the Board of Estimate and App)pr-tionment:

SIR--Herewith are transmitted three resolutions of the Local Boards of the Flatbush and Bay Ridge Districts, Borough of Brooklyn, initiating proceedings for the acquisition of title to the following streets:

East Thirty-eighth street, between Canarsie lane and Avenue K. Fifty-first street, between Sevctrtecnth aventte and West street. Fifty-fourth street, between Fifteenth avenue' and Twentieth avenue. The resolution first referred to was adopted on June 27, 1907, and the other two

on October 31, 1906. Each of these resolutions excludes land occupied by the tracks of the Long

Island Railroad. The grades which have been adopted for the streets at the rail-road intersection are not adapted to the construction of a crossing, but if compara-tively slight changes are made it would be possible to carry the railroad tinder the streets whenever the construction was required. It is assumed that the railroad lands have been omitted for the reason that a crossing is not desired at this time. In my judgment it would be unwise to acquire title to any of these streets with the ex-pectation that they will 'ultimately be carried across the railroad unless grades to permit of the crossing were previously adopted, and in case it is not intended to provide crossings the City map should be changed by discontinuing those hereto-fore laid out.

Under the provisions of chapter 589 of the Laws of i9og the grade of the Long Island Railroad is permanently fixed in connection with the imoroventent of the property which is now being carried out by the Brooklyn Grade Crossing Commis-sion, and where the grade does not permit of a street crossing the latter can only be provided by a change in the street grade.

I would therefore recommend that the resolutions he referred back to the Presi-dent of the Borough, with the suggestion that if it is intended to secure a railroad

crossing the grades should first be changed to permit of carrying the streets over the railroad, and that if a crossing is not desired the opening resolution should be ore-ceded by a map change providing for the omission of the crossings, and in this case should be amended by excluding all of the lands owned by the railroad in addition to that occupied by the tracks.

Ifon. GEORGE B. MCCLEt.LAN, .Ifayor, Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Appor-tiotnnent:

SIR—Herdwith is transmitted a resolution of the Local Board Of the Bay Ridge District, Bornt;gh of Brooklyn, adopted (Al July- 17, 1907, initiating proceedings fo! acquiring title to Eighty-first street between Fourteenth avrnue• and Stillwell avenue. excepting the land Occupied by the tracks of the Brooklyn, Bath and West End Rai]-road.

This re (Ration affects a length of tee blocks, (II about 8,000 feet of Eighty-fir-.t street, which has been laid out ttpntt the trap of the City to have a width of 6o feet. The street :s not in use in the four blocks between Fourteenth avenue and New Utrecht avenue, but the roadway has been auprnximately graded through a portion, and is in use through all of the remaining distance, where several houses have been erected 1tpon the abutting property on etch sidle.

Eighty-first street is legally open westerly from Fourteenth avenue and Stillwe:! avenue is its easterly terminus.

I see no reason why the resolution should not be approved, and would recom-mend such action. It is also recommended that title to the land he acquired in ice. that all of the cost c f the proceeding, including- the expenses of the Bureau of Street Openings and any damages allowed for intended regulating, be assessed upon the property benefited, and that a district of assessment be laid not to comprise the fol-lowing area:

Beginning at a point out a line midwav between Eightieth street and Eighty-first street distant too feet northwesterly from the northwesterly line ut Fourteenth avenue, and running thence southcastwardly along the said line midway between Eightieth street and Eighty-first street to the intersection with the westerly line of Stillwell avenue; thence eastwardly at right angles to Stillwell avenue a distance of 200 feet' thence southwarcily and parallel with Stillwell avenue to the intersection with a line at right angles to Stillwell avenue, and passing through a point on its easterly side where it is intersected by the proloilgatirnt of a line midway between Eighty-first street and Eighty-second street; thence w•cctw'ardly along the said line at right angles to Stillwell avenue to its easterly side; thence northwestwardly along tile said line midway between Eighty-first street and Eighty-second street and the prolongation of the said line to the intersection with a line parallel with Fourteenth avenue, and pass-ing through the point of beginning; thence northeastwardly and parallel with Four-teenth avenue to the point or place of beginning.

I believe that there are no buildings upon the land to be acquired. Respectfully,

West of New York avenue the street has been fully improved and East Ninetv-eielrtll street is its easterly terminus.

The street is in use through the three blocks between New York avenue and Canarsie road, and for about a block on each side of Alhinv avenue, between Fast Forty-fifth street and Schenectady avenue, and between Utica avenue and a point near Fast Fifty-sixth street the roadway has been graded and curbed.

tionnlent: SIR—Herewith is transmitted a resolution of the Local Board of the Bushwick

District, Borough of Brooklyn, adopted on July 24, 1907. initiating proceedings for acquiring title to Atkins avenue, from Pitkin avenue to New Lots avenue.

This street has been laid out to have a width of (x) feet, and the resolution affects four blocks of its 1-ngth, or about 2.100 feet. A road is in use in the three northerly blocks, and several buildings, including a school house at the southwesterly corner of Belmont avenue, have been erected upon the abutting property. Atkins avenue is fully improved north"rly from Pitkin avenue, and it is not deemed necessary at this time to extend the opening proceedings southwardly from New Lots avenue.

I would recommend the approval of the reso'tttion; that title to the land he acquired in fee; that all of the cost of the proceeding, including the expenses of the Bureau of Street Openings and any d'tmages allowed for intended regulating, he as-sessed upon the property benefited; and that a district of assessment be laid out to comprise the following area:

Beginning at a point on the prolongation of a line midway between Atkins avenue and Berriman street, as laid out northerly from New Lots avenue, where it intersects the southerly line of New Lots avenue, and running thence northwardly along the said line midway between Atkins avenue and Berriman street to a point distant too feet northerly from the northerly line of Pitkin avenue; thence eastwardly and parallel wi'h Pitkin avenue to the intersection with a line midway h-tween Montauk avenue and Atkins avenue; thence southwardly along the said line midway between Montauk avenue and Atkins avenue to the inters •ction with the northerly line of New Lots avenue; thence southwardly at right antr'es to the hue of New Lets avenue to a point dis`ant ion feet sou'herly from its southerly line: thence westwardly and parallel with New Lots avenue to the intersection with a line at right angles to New Lots aventte and passing through the point of beginning; thence northwardly along the said line a+ right angles to New Lots avenue to the point or place of beginning.

T believe that a small frame building at Dumont avenue encroaches upon the land to be acquired.

District, Borough of Brooklyn, adopted on June 6, Igo6, initiating proceedings for acquiring title to Magenta street, between Crescent street and Railroad avenue.

This resolution affects one block, or about 45o feet of Magenta street, which has been laid out to have a width of So feet. The roadway has been approximately graded. all of the subsurface structures seem to have been completed, and several houses have been erected upon the abutting property on each side of the street.

Railroad avenue is the easterly terminus of this section of .\lagenta street, while westerly from Crescent street the roadway has been asphalted.

The evidences of dedication to public use in this block, however, are not suffi-cient, in the opinion of the Corporation Counsel to justify improving the street with-out formal opening proceedings, and I would recommend the approval of the reso lution now presented. I would also recotnmcnrl that title to the land he acquired in fee; that all of the cost of the proceetlinr, including the expenses of the Bureau of Street Openings and any da iii age s allowed for intended regulating, he ass;•ssed upon the property benefited, and that a district of asscssnwtft be Iaid out to comprise the following area:

SIR—Herewith is transmitted a resolution of the Local Board of the Bushwick District, Borough of Brooklyn, adopted on May 15, 1907, initiating proceedings for acquiring title to Warwick street, from Belmont avenue to New Lots road.

The resolution affects five blocks, or a length of about 2,300 feet of Warwick street, which has been laid out to have a width of 5o feet. An unshaped roadway is in use through the entire length affected, and the abutting property on the easterly side has been largely improved between Belmont and Sutter avenues and between Blake and Duniont avenues; through the three remaining blocks several houses have been erected or. the abutting property c.n each side. The sewer has been built and the water main has been provided for several blocks.

Northerl from Belmont avenue the street has been fully improved, and it is not deemed desirable at this time to extend the opening proceeding southerly from New Lots avenue.

I would recommend the approval of the resolution; that title to the land he acquired in fee: that all of the cost of the proceeding, including the expenses of the Bureau of Street Openings and any damages allowed for intended regulating, be assessed upon the property benefited, and that a district of assessment be laid out, to comprise the following area:

Beginning at a point on the northerly line of New Lots road midway between Warwick street and Ashford street, running thence at right angles to the line of New

U

The following resolutions were then adopted Whereas, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York

is considering the advisability of instituting proceedings to acquire title to the lands and premises required for the opening ;ind extending of Warwick street, from Belmont avenue to New Lots road, in the Borough of Brooklyn, City of New York; and

1Whereas, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment is authorized and required at the time of the adoption of the resolution directing the institution of proceedings to acquire title to the lands required for the foregoing improvement to fix and de-termine upon an area or areas of assessment for benefit for said proceeding.

OFFICE OF TILE CHIEF ENGINEER, April 27, Igo8.

Ilan. GEORGE 13. MICCLELt.AN, Mayor, Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Appor- tionntent:

SIR—Ilerewith are transmitted six resolutions of the Local Board of the Chester District, Borough of The Bronx, all of which were adopted on November 15, 1906, initiating proceedings for acquiring title to

St. Lawrence avenue, between Westchester avenue and Clasons Point road; Commonwealth avenue, between Westchester avenue and Clasons Point road; Rosedale avenue, between Westchester avenue and Clasons Point road Noble avenue, between Westchester avenue and Clasons Point road Croes avenue, between Westchester avenue and Clasons Point road; Fteley avenue, between Westchester avenue and Clasons Point road.

These streets have all been laid out on Sections 39 and 48 of the final maps of the Borough of The Bronx, the former of which was approved on February 28, 1908, and the latter on April 24, tgo8. Each of the streets described has a width of 6o feet excepting Rosedale avenue, which is 8o feet wide. The lengths affected vary from three blocks, or I,5oo feet, in the case of Fteley avenue, to six blocks, or about 4,2oo. feet, in the case of St. Lawrence avenue.

6406 THE CITY RECORD. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 19o8.

A narrow roadway is in use through the northerly block of St. Lawrence avenue and a few houses have been erected on the abutting property. With this exception none of the streets are in use at the present time.

The streets are adjoining and parallel, and I see no reason why the resolutions should not be combined and made the subject of one proceeding, such treatment being recommended. It is also recommended that title to the land be acquired in fee; that all of the cost of the proceeding, including the expenses of the Bureau of Street Openings and any damages allowed for intended regulating, be assessed upon the property benefited; and that a district of assessment he laid Out to comprise the following area: 1

Bounded on the north by a line distant too feet northerly from and parallel with the northerly line of Westchester avenue, the said distance being measured at right angles to the line of Westchester avenue ; on the cast by a lin midway between St. Lawrence avenue and Beach avenue; on the southwest by a line distant loo feet south-westerly from and parallel with the southwesterly line of Clasons Point road, the said distance being measured at right angles to the line of Clasons Point road; and on the west by a line midway between Metcalf avenue and Fteley avenue.

Buildings encroach upon the land to he acquired for St. Lawrence avenue and Fteley avenue.

Respectfully,


The following resolutions were then adopted: Whereas, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York

is considering the advisability of instituting proceedings to acquire title to the lands and premises required for the opening and extending of St. Lawrence avenue, Common- wealth avenue, Roscda'e avenue, Noble avenue, Croes avenue and Fteley avenue, from Westchester avenue to Clasons Point road, in the Borough of The Bronx, City of New York; and

Whereas, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment is aiuhurized and required at the time of the adoption of the resolution directing the institution of proceedings to acquire title to the lands required for the foregoing improvement to IIx and determine upon an area or areas of assessntent for benefit for said proceeding.


Bounded on the north by a line distant too feet northerly front and parallel with the northerly line of Westchester avenue. the said distance being mcasnred at right angles to the line of Westchester avenue; on the east by a line midway between St. Lawrence avenue and Beach avenue; on the southwest by a line distant too feet south-westerly from and parallel with the southwesterly line of Clasons Point road, the said distance being measured at right angles to the line of Clasons Point road; and on the west by a line midway between Metcalf avenue and Ftelcy .n'cutte.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER. April 27, TOOK.

lion. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN, .11ayor, Chail'Inan of the Board of Estimate and Appor-tionment:

SIR—Herewith is transmitted a resolution of the Local Board of the Staten Island District, Borough of Richmond, adopted oil January- 14, tgoS, initiating pro-ceed,ngs for acquiring title to Ileberton avenue, from "its pres:nt northerly terminus as already opened" to Richmond terrace.

At a meeting of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. held on March 13 last, a map was adopted fixing the lines of 1-ieherton avenue through the block be-tween Ann street and Richmond terrace. In the report prepared upon the map change it was shown that the street was in us, for a distance of about Iqo feet north of Ann street, that no portion of the street had previously been placed upon the map of the City, and that the change would extend the street to Richmond ter-


race, a distance of about 250 feet. The Borough authorities advise that the portion of Heberton avenue adjacent to Ann street has been wholly dedicated to public use, and that it is the intent of the resolution now presented to provide for the acquisition of title to that portion of the street between a line about 188 fect north of Ann street and Richmond terrace. To avoid any uncertainty as to the scope of the resolution, and to make it a matter of definite record, I would suggest that the form of resolu-tion be changed to apply only to the land which it is now intended to acquire.

The street through the portion affected by the resolution as thus interpreted has a width of 6 feet, and is not in use at the present time. The abutting property is unimproved, but information is presented to show that the owners of the land adjoining Richmond terrace propose to erect buildings within its lines in the near future unless the opening proceeding is begun.

- I see no reason why the resolution should not be approved, and would recom-mend such action., It is also recommended that title to the land be acquired in fee; that all of the cost of the proceeding, including the expenses of the Bureau of Street Openings, and any damages allowed for intended regulating be assessed upon the property benefited; and that a district of assessment be laid out to comprise the -following area :

Beginning at a point on the line midway between Heberton avenue and Broadway as the lines of the said streets are either laid out or commonly recognized, at and adjoining their intersection with Ann street, distant Ial feet southerly from the south-erly line of Ann street, the said distance being measured at right angles to the line of Ann street, and running thence northwardly in a straight course and along the said line midway between Ileberton avenue and Broadway, and the prolongation of the said line. to the intersection with the westerly line of Richmond terrace; thence eastwardly at right angles to the line of Richmond terrace to a point distant too feet easterly from the easterly line of Richmond terrace ; thence southwardly and always distant loo feet from and parallel with the easterly line of Richmond terrace to the intersection with a line bisecting the angle formed by the intersection of the south-easterly line of ileberton avenue, as laid out immediately cast of its intersection with Ann street, with the northerly line of Bennett street as recognized between Heberton avenue and Jewett avenue ; thence sollthWcstWar(t1% along the said bisecting line to the intersection with a line parallel with the line of Ann street as commonly recog-nized between Ileberton avenue and Broadway, and passing through the point of beginning; thense westwardly along the said line parallel with Ann street to tile point or place of beginning.

With the exception of Heberton avenue none of the streets mentioned in the above description have been placed upon the City map, and the references to street lines are intended to apply to those determined by usage and as commonly recognized.

I believe that there are no httildings upon the land to be acquired. Respect buy.

NLLSON P. LEWIS, Chief Engineer.

The following resoiutions were then adopted: W'Vhereas, 'rhe Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York

is considering the advisability of instituting proceedings to acquire title to the lands and premises required for the opening and extending of Hcherton avenue, between a line abort T8S feet north of Ann street and Richmond terrace, in the Borough of

AC(9UIRING 11ITLE lO A PAR(FL of LAND ADJOINING THE JAMAICA SEWAGE DISPOSAL. PLANT, QUEENS.

The following communication from the President of the Borough of Queens and report of the Chief Engineer were presented, and, on motion, the matter was referred to the Corporation Cotntsel.

sludge from the Jamaica Disposal Works is overflowing into property of one Milton Bergen, who has served a notice that he intends to use the land in the spring for farming purposes.

In order to provide proper accommodations for the Department, application is respectfully made to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to take such steps as may be necessary to acquire title to additional acreage of 2.447 adjoining the present Jamaica Disposal Plant in the Fourth Ward, Borough of Queens, which property is now owned by Milton Bergen.

I inclose sketch herewith showing size and location of the property in question. Yours respectfully,

JOSEPH BERMEL, President of the Borough of Queens.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER, }

April 28, Igo8. i Lion. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN, Mayor, Chairman of the Board of Estimate and Apps,r-

tionment: SIR—Herewith is transmitted a communication from the President of the Borough

of Queens, bearing date of January 27, 1908, requesting the authorization of proceed-ings for the acquisition of title to a parcel of land having an area of 2.409 acres, adjoining on the north, east and south the present Jamaica Sewage Disposal Plant in the Fourth Ward.

The Borough President advises that the sludge pits now in use at the disposal plant are entirely inadequate and that as aresult the sludge overflows upon the adjoining property.' The owner of the land has recently served notice that he intends to at once utilize the property for farming purposes.Unless it is acquired it would therefore appear probable that the City might be obliged to pay substantial damages if the present conditions are continued.

In a recent report from Consulting Pngineer Hering it has been shown that the use of this plant may be continued for some time in the future, but that ultimately it will have to be remodeled and the method of purification changed. In the latter case I believe that the land which it is now proposed to acquire will all be neede(i.

The request is evidently based upon the provisions of section 31)6 of the Charter, which permits of assessing the cost of the proceeding upon the property benefited. The area of benefit in this case would unquestionably include the entire drainage area, this comprising the sections known as Jamaica and Richmond Hill. The assessed valuation of the land to be acquired is $t,5oo and it is evident that the expense which would be required to make up the benefit maps and to collect the assessment would be out of all proportion to the actual amount involved in the improvement. The case is similar to one which has been submitted to the Board for the acquisition of a sewer casement at the head of WallabotIt Canal, where the assessed valttaticn of the land required is only $lo.coo, while the area of benefit comprises the entire drainage area, having a width of about two miles and a length of nearly three miles. Other similar cases are about to be presented to the Board for consideration and where the area of benefit is very large while the probable cost of the land to be purchased is relatively shall.

Iii such cases it would seen) absurd to attempt to assess the cost of the pro-ceeding upon the property benefited.

In the case now reported upon. I would recommend that the City assume the entire expense of the proceeding and that the Corporation Counsel be requested to advise the Board whether it would not be practicable for the Board of Assessors to include in their general assessment for the construction of the sewerage system and the disposal plant an amount equivalent to the cost of the land and the expense involved in the proceeding. If Such a course is not a legal one, I would also suggest that he be requested to advise the Boyd as to whether anv Other procedure could he followed which would permit of assessing all the cost of the proceeding upon the area of benefit and without requiring the prep;iration of special )taps for this purpose.

This bridge at Ludlow avenue was snbstitilted for one at Whittier street at the request of the Board of Estimate and .Apportionment, and in accordance with the provisions of the contract of Decem-ber 21, 1904. The plan now presented has been submitted to and approved by the Chief Engineer of the Borough of The Bronx.

On September. 16, 1903, a drainage map for the district in which this- sewer is included was adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and at a subse-rluent date the construction of a number of the sewers shown was authorized.

The map now submitted provides for a combined storm water and sanitary sewer having a length of about 1,000 feet, connecting with a sewer heretofore authorized in Fingerboard road. The map also shows that more than 50 per cent, of the drainage area is a part of the Fort Wadsworth Reservation, and is owned by the United States Government. It is evident that the sewer is intended to benefit the Government property, and that a large portion of the assessment would be charged against this land.

I understand that there is no method provided by law tinder which an assessment against Government property could be collected. If this is the case it would seem undesirable to provide drainage for Government lands unless a contract - could be first entered into providing for compensating the City for a fair portion of the expense of the improvement. I would therefore recommend that this matter be referred to the Corporation Counsel, and that he he requested to advise the Board as to the proper procedure whereby the Government could be made to participate in the expense if it desired to benefit by the improvement, and for the preparation of•thc necessary form of agreement.

Respectfully,


The following resolution was then adopted

GEa rLF•:tn=.N--1n connection with the recominmiudation of the Chief Engineer of Ihr It', trrl if Estiulte and Appnrlionmcnt that hcforc .June 30, 19o8, resolutions for local improv'c•ments, in addition to those •trendy ;~.uthorized, be authorized to the :•nt(,unt f,f y 2,OOO,oOo at the present tittle, which was referred to Joe for consideration ::t th_• I,l't tnetting of this Board, I beg to state as follows:

I melt, to ii, Ii.' in my appreciation of the importance, in the development of the (;rc:ttcr City, c'sl'l'd'iii;ly in the very largely unsettled areas of Queens Borough, of I'he Bronx sold the ei;burls of Brooklyn, n; the extuehlditrtre5 out of the account known as iltc `,trot hnp1oveinent Fund of 'Pile City of New York, but I believe that in this ~nstancc, a, in all ,,her matiers in connectir n with City adnlinistratirul, this Board should have full knowledge of the facts before taking action. if the facts indicate that the further extension of the work tinder this fund is not advisable the responsibility for this condition should be placed where it belongs, and the criticism, if any is :moused by those who stiffer in conscqucnce, should be directed to those who should properly bear it.

It is comparatively easy for the members of this Bard to authorize the use of money, but the responsibility for financing the transactions iu most instances rests with the Conmptroller. If the authorization is granted by this Board and then file Comptroller is unable to finance the improvements put up to him the public immediately blames the linancial head of the City rather than tracing a condition back to its real source.

The Street Improvement Fluid of 'file City of New York is in practice a loan :recount whereby the faith and credit of the City are loaned to the localities for making original street improvements and for building sewers with the implied understanding that the levy of the assessments for these improvcrilents should be made promptly and the payments of these assessments also he promptly made in circler that the loan should be returned within the shortest interval to be used for similar improvements either in the same or sonic other locality of the City. It is an account for the suc-cessful administration of which the Borough Presidents of the five Boroughs are largely responsihl., and if it shall appear that improvements out of this fund cannot freely lie made that responsibility will rest in part with the Borough Presidents, and after the Borough Presidents have done their duty the responsibility rests with tilt property owners upon whose property the assessments are made.

One of the earliest matters to which I gave attention upon assuming office was the operation of the Street Improvement hand. I caused an examination to be made with regard to it, a report of which was made to the Board of Estimate and Apportion-ntcnt. 'l'he result of that investigation was the turning in of a large number of assess-nlcut lists by the Borough Presidents, which lists had been Ion;; in arrears at the time. 'I he exaulination which developed the facts now before me was begun by I'.xannncrs of the Finance 1)epartincut in the latter part of 1907, anti the effect of the agitation has been to ouch more increase the number of assessment lists turned in by the Borough Presidents.

'f he most important fact to he coiusirlered at this time is to what extent this fund is pledged for future improvements.

A report of the Chief Engineer of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment states that improvements already authorized but not contracted for (as of (late of I)ecemher 31, 1907, which situation has not materially changed since that time) amounted to $4,148,420, apportioned among the, I;nronghs as follows: Manhattan .......................................................... $196,7x0 on

Total..................................................... $4,148,420 00

The contract liability register of the Department of Finance shows that as of December 31, 1907, there were liabilities based upon contracts certified against this fund in excess of payments made to contractors to the amount of $5,895,580.65, appor-tioned among the Boroughs as follows: For the Period from January I, 1902, to December 31, 19o7--

On this basis and nn the expericnce shown by these two statements, the average cost to the property owner on wr•rk administered by the Borough Presidents and paid out of this full([ is 25 per cent. in excess of the contract price.

The total net out la'- 66ir work chargt'tl tt , Street Improvement Mind, work cou-tracted for after Jamttiary I. 18)8, from I$J8 to 1907, aggregated $37,531,454.95; outlay for redemption of bonds, $10,030,OJ0: total disbursements from this account in the said ten-year interval, $47,561,454.05. The fund l)etween said dates was replenished b) collections by the Collector of A'sc;Siulcuts anal Arrears to the amount of $14,214, 097.92; by the collection of interest upon said assessments to the amount of $624,-462.98; by the coilcctiuii of interest on 3esessiuIents ltvicd prior to December 31, 1898 (which I believe are incorrectly paid into this account), to the aurotot of $1,857,026.18: by the proceeds of the sale of bonds to the <unount of $19,034.12,).49; and by premiums received on said bonds to the amount of $21,677.22: total receipts of the fund for the interval, $35,751,393.79.

']'his \vonit1 indicate that disbursements out of this fund in excess of the receipts thereof for the said ten years represented an overdraft of $tt,8io,o6r.ih. This over draft represents advances made to the fund out t,f the gcncral fonds of the City.

The apparent resources of this fund as of December 31, 1007, wire as follows: Uncollected assessments oil the honks of the Collector of Assessments and Arrears, December 31, 1907, $5,5i(m,1q7.85; moneys advanced by The City of New York out of "Street Improvement Fund" for completed and uncompleted street improvements, as-sessments for which were not confirmed on 1)cc'emtber 31, 1907, $17,394,633.64; total, $22,910,831.50.

Several important improvements, part of the cost of which is to be borne by the City at large, have been charged- against this account, incorrectly, as I believe, for it would appear that all disbursements out of this account should be represented by assessnients later levied, and that in any instance where the City at large is charged with a part of the expense, that charge should be represented by an issue of Cor-porate Stock. To the extent that this fund is being incorrectly used in this particular,

Manhattan ...................... $5,351,868 36 .142+ $3,124,361 86 .583+

The Broux ....................... )5,)92,031 01 .404+ 6,361,1go 67 .418+

Richmond ....................... 578,,88 73 .015+ 100,776 57 6+


the amount of $17,394,633.64 disbursements out of it previously referred to, would not be represented by repayments into said fund through the levy and collection of assessments. A notable instance of this is the Grand Boulevard and Concourse in The Bronx, from East One Hundred and Sixty-first street to Mosholu parkway, the estimated cost of which is $1,011,322.50, seventy-five per cent. of which is charged against the City at large, and twenty-five per cent. to the locality. Another instance of this kind is the approach to the Municipal Ferry in the Borough of Richmond, which was authorized on February 9, Igo6, and which provided for a disbursement of $765,3oo, thirty per cent, of which is to be paid by the property deemed to be bene-fited, and seventy per cent. by The City of New York, with the exception of where streets are occupied by street railways, the cost of paving that part of the roadway occupied by the street railroad company and two feet in width outside of its tracks to be paid or repaid to the City by the said railroad company.

A substantial increment to this fund, however, is the addition of interest repre-sented in the assessments as finally levied, previously referred to, so that except for the charging to this account of improvements not wholly paid for out of assessments, the fund would be constantly accumulating an excess of receipts over disbursements represented by this interest charge. Because of this added revenue through interest charges on the money advanced for improvements and included in the assessment roll as levied and the interest charged on arrears of assessments after levy, the fund's resources after deducting improvements for which no assessment can be levied will probably equal the amount noted as the apparent resources of the fund on December 31, 1907, namely, approximately $23,000,000. The liabilities outstanding against these resources as of December 31, 1907, were bonds outstanding properly chargeable against this fund to the amount of $q,004,129.49, plus the cash advance made by the City of $Ir,81o,o61,16, a total of $20,814,590.65. In other words, if the operations of this fund were permitted to cease as of December 31, 1907, and only assessment bonds redeemed out of said account, the proceeds of which had been paid into the fund, said fund, through the levy and collection of assessments, would amortize the assess-ment bonds properly chargeable to it and pay off the City's cash loans of $II,81o,o6i.i6, when all collections of assessments should have been made.

The Problem Confronting the Comptroller.

The problem which has confronted the Comptroller since January i, Igo8, has been to meet the obligations represented by a contract certification of $5,832,112.21 and also to provide funds whereby $4,148,420 of improvements authorized but not contracted for may be contracted for and the work progressed.

The City, as already noted, has advanced in cash to the fund nearly $12,00o,000, an amount which properly should be repaid to the City at once by an issue of assessment bonds, but which issue could not be made without further hampering the City in its borrowing power as the Corporation Counsel has recently held that assessment bonds must count as debt within the meaning of the constitution. The withdrawal of this cash loan by the City at this time would mean the complete paralysis of all original street improvements in all the boroughs.

The collection of assessments payable into this fund has been up to the present time a comparatively slow process, due in the first place to the dilatoriness of the Borough Presidents in turning in their assessment rolls, and in the second place to the fact that owners of property benefited have not always been prompt in meeting their assessment obligations.

The collection of assessments by boroughs, payable into this fund since 1888, and up to March 31, 19o8, have been as follows: Collections Up to December 31, 7907-

Manhattan ........................................ $3,124,361 86 The Bronx ...................................... 6,361,igo 67 Brooklyn .......................................... 4,375,165 59 Queens ......................................... 252,603 23 Richmond ......................................... 100,776 57

Total to December 31, 1907 ................... . .......... $14,214,097 92

Collections, January i to March 31, 1908- Manhattan ........................................ $98,342 56 The Bronx ....................................... 313,032 65 Brooklyn .......................................... 131,637 56 Queens ......................................... 14,578 48 Richmond ........................................ 59,307 20

Total three months of igo8 .............................. 616,898 45

In other words, the amount of assessments levied in the four months and five days of the present year included above amount to only slightly less than one-third of the aggregate of all assessments levied for the nine years previous. This contrast means in part at least delinquency on the part of borough presidents in turning in their assess-ment rolls. Practically the whole of the assessment levied since January i, i9o8, in Brooklyn, is represented by the large trunk sewers in the Fort Hamilton district, which have been some time under construction.

Percentage of Disbursements and Collections for the Period 1898 to December 31, 1907.

The disbursements from the Street Improvement Fund by boroughs to December .31, 1907, the percentage of the whole accorded to each Borough, the collections of assessments for the period for each Borough, and the percentage of collections to dis-bursements, are shown in the following:

Percentage Disbursements Collection of Collec- from January Percentage of Assessments tions to

1907, from Fund, comber 31, 1907. bursements for Period

Total ................ $37,531,454 95 $ 14,214,097 92

It will be noted that The Bronx and Brooklyn obtained the lion's share of the disbursements, The Bronx 4o per cent. and Brooklyn nearly 34 per cent of the whole amount.

The Bronx, in the interval, repaid slightly less than 42 per cent of the money advanced to it, while Brooklyn repaid slightly more than 34 per cent, of the money advanced to it.

Conclusions.

In conclusion, therefore, I would recommend First-That Corporate Stock be issued to provide for so much of any improve-

ment paid out of Street Improvement Fund to the extent that the cost of said improvement has been or shall he imposed upon the City at large.

Second-That Corporate Stock be issued • to replenish said fund for all pay-ments therefrom for improvements, the assessments for which have subsequently been reduced or canceled.

Third-That future authorizations of improvements chargeable against said fund shall be made only to the extent that the cash balance in said fund is in excess of the amount necessary to pay for improvements already authorized.

In order that the present improvements shall be promptly completed an issue of assessment bonds to the amount of at least $5,000,000 should be provided for at once.

Until present conditions, as noted in this communication, are substantially modi-fied by increase of the cash resources of this fund, I would recommend that the resolution of the Chief Engineer of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment be not approved.

I do not mean by this to estop such new work as the health or absolute needs of a community demands, but that authorizations should now he granted only for what may be properly called works of emergent character.

Respectfully yours, HERMAN A. METZ, Comptroller.

The Total of These Collections by Years Has Been- I899 ...............................................$10,826 71 1900 .............................................. 221,933 24 590! .............................................. 830,399 34 1902 .............................................. 5,485,580 70 1903 .............................................. 1,260,556 48 1904 .............................................. 1,710,207 49

1905 .............................................. 2,815,033 61 1906 .............................................. 2,680,932 29 1907 .... .. .. ............................. 3,198,628 06 Three months of 1908 .............................. 616,898 45

Total ................................................... $14,830,996 37

It will be seen, therefore, that on the basis of the experience of the best year so far, namely, 1907, the replenishment of the fund by collection of assessments during the present year can hardy be expected to exceed $3,000,000 to $3,500,000. This amount will not provide for the completion of work on contracts already certified, not giving any consideration whatever to the improvements already authorized but not contracted for.

Remarkable Increase in Atmount of Assessments Confirmed Since January i, Igo8.

A notable increase in the amount of assessments confirmed has occurred since January I, igo8, promptness in the presentation of which is due in part, I believe, to the investigation into the operations of this account inaugurated by the Comptroller. The assessments levied by boroughs for the nine years previous to December 31, 1907, and for the four months and five days since January i, 1908, are shown in the following:

DEAR SIR-I beg to criticise that portion of the very able report of Chief Engineer Lewis, dated May 2, 1908, on the subject of the authorization of local improvements in the various boroughs, where lie says:

"I would suggest that the Board request the different Borough Presidents to sub-nut new Local Board resolutions in the place of those which have not been acted upon by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment within three years of their adoption by the said Local Boards."

This recommendation of the Chief Engineer is, I believe, open to serious objec-tion. I question the right of the Borough Presidents to do that which Mr. Lewis recommends. The function of the Borough President ceases in relation to assessable improvements, so far as their initiation is concerned, when the Local Board over which lie presides passes the necessary resolution for the improvement petitioned for. Then the duty of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment begins as provided in section 434 of the intended Greater New York Charter, which requires that:

"Said Board shall promptly consider such resolution and approve of or reject the same."

In this connection it should not be overlooked that these are improvements, the expense of which is to be paid for by assessment on the property benefited, and unless the clear intent of the law be followed, any departure therefrom might open the door to attempts at avoiding the assessments.

The safer course, in my opinion, would be for the Board of Estimate and Appor-tionment to follow strictly the Charter provisions on this subject, and in those cases where they cannot approve a resolution they should reject the same, giving their reason therefor.

I would therefore suggest that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment amend the resolution submitted by Chief Engineer Lewis by striking therefrom the language contained therein as follows and be it further

"Resolved, 7 hat the President of each Borough be requester) to submit new Local Board resolutions in place of those resolutions which have not been or may not he acted upon by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment within three years of the date of their adoption by the Local Boards."

-so that the resolution would then read as follows "Resolved, That the Chief Engineer of the Board be instructed to prepare and

submit to the Board from time to time, before June 30, 1908, reports upon resolutions for local improvements in an amount not exceeding $2,000,000, including such improve-ments already authorized since January 1, 19o8, these improvements to be apportioned among the several Boroughs in the manner suggested in the report of the Chief En-gineer submitted on this date."

Yours truly,


'HE CITY OF NEW YORK, lI OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE llOHdIGB Of THE BRONx.

May 6, 5908. J

Hon. GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN, Chairman, Board of Estimate and Apportionment

PLANS OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OF TIIE VIADUCT TO BE BUILT ACROSS THE SUNNYSIDE YARD ON THE LINE OF THoMSON AVENUE, QUEENS.

The Comptroller asked unanimous consent for the present consideration pf a report from the Chief Engincer, to whom this matter was referred on May 15, Ig08.

No objection being made, the following report was presented: REPORT No. 39

BOARD OF ESTIMATE AND APPORTIONMENT, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER,

May 21, 1908. J flolt. GEORGE B. Itf<Ct.t:Lt-.t N, Mayor, Chairinna of the Board of Estimate and Appor-

tion'ment: SIR—At the nicetiug of the hoard of Estimate and Apportionment held on May

8, 19o8, plans were presented for the superstructure of the viaduct to be built across the Sunnyside Yard on the line of Thomson avenue. At the request of the President of the Borough of Queens the plans were referred to him, as he had not been afforded an opportunity to examine thew. At the meeting held on May 15, 19o8, the Borough President presented a communication to the Board submitting a report made to him by Mr. Oscar Erlandsen, and stated that, while the bridge plans appeared entirely satisfactory, it might be wise to make provision at this time for the building of surface railroad tracks on the structure, although there have never been any tracks on Thom-son avenue and no franchise has been granted or applied for. The plans were there-upon referred to the Chief Engineer.

I have taken up this suggestion with the Pennsylvania Tunnel and 'Terminal Rail-road Company and they have agreed to modify the plans by inserting in the central por-tion of the bridge transverse and longitudinal beams to which standard railway tracks can be attached at any time in the future. 'l his would make it possible to lay such tracks with very little disturbance of the existing surface and at trifling expense. The drawings have accordingly been changed, and they are herewith submitted with the modification proposed by the Borough President, and it is reeonimclicic(l that they be approved in their present form.


The following resolution was then adopted: Resolved, That the plans for the superurticture of the bridge to be erected across

the tracks and yard of the Pcunsv lvania Tunnel :n ,I 'f crminal Railroad Company, suc-cessor to the Pennsylvania, Nett Y,,rk arch i.ong Is (1(11 Railroad Coinpany, on the line of Thomson avenue, Long Isl;ind Cits', which plans wire submitted by the company through its Chief Engineer oil April 27. 1908, in accordance with the provisions of Article Xlli. of the agreement made wicker date of June 21, 1907, between the Penn-sylvania, New York and Long Island Railroad Company and the Long Island Railroad Company and The City of New York, said plans consisting of seven sheets, entitled Contract Drawings Nos. 502, 5o,, 504, 505, 517, 5.14 alld 548, b,: and the same hereby are approved.

Affirmative—'the Mayor, the Comptroller, the President of the Board of Aldermen and the Presidents of the Boroughs of Manhattan, Bro klyn. 'l'he Bronx, Queens and Richmond-16.

After considering financial matters, on motion, the Board nl'journed, to mrel on Friday, June 5, 19o8, at 10.30 o'clock in the forenoon.

DEPARTMENT OF PARKS. •

BOROUGH OF TilE BRONX.

REPORT FOR TIih: QUARTER ENDING Mr1I:C1-i 31, 1908.

I-Ion. GEORGE 11. \9cCLELLAN, Mayor of The City of New `i'ork, City Hall, New York City:

Sir—'Herewith is transmitted report I1 the designs for intprotenteut, work ac complished and finances of the Department of Parks, liorottgh of The Bronx, for the three months ending March 31, 1908.

During the past three months work was continued on those contracts which had received the approval of the Comptroller previous to the suspension of work on Bond Account, and which were well under way. However, very little could be done, even on these contracts, owing to the severe weather which usually prevails during the first three months of the year. Practically all other construction and recon-struction work has been at an absolute standstill during the past quarter, the labor-ing force having been cut down to about one-half the usual number, or barely suffi-cient to attend to the maintenance work and such repairs, etc., as were necessary to save the parks from actual damage by neglect.

My report, therefore, for the past three months must necessarily show almost no progress whatever in either construction or reconstruction work, nearly all oper-ations having been suspended since January I, the (late of my last report.

Respectfully, JOSEPH 1. BERRY,

Commissioner of Parks, Borough of The Bronx.

BRONX PARK. Greenhouses—The usual routine work of the greenhouses was carried on during

the last quarter, such as watering, cleaning and weeding plants, propagating, potting and repotting plants, attending to fires and frames, cleaning, cultivating, sorting, sepa-rating and transplanting herbaceous plants and seedlings.

About 30,000 pansy plants were taken from frames and shipped to the various parks to be planted. The frames, when cleared, were dug out, fresh manure placed in them, and were turned into hotbeds, in which will be placed bedding out plants from the stages in the greenhouses, to make room for other plants from the propa-gating bench.

Bronx Shops—In the shops the usual repair and reconstruction work was done, such as repairing and painting road rollers, watering carts and w:tt;ons, repainting old signs and making and painting new ones, placing cresting on fence railings in the different parks and painting about 3,000 feet of railing, and repairing athletic ap-parattts, lawn mowers, tools, harness, automobile, etc.

Dead trees were cut down and split into cordwood for the greenhouses,

Botanical Garden, Bronx Park. Greenhouses, Boiler I-Iouse and Stearn Trench, Kelly & Kelley, Contractors—

This work has progressed very slowly (hiring the last quarter, owing to the severity of the weather. The boiler house will probably be finished about June I. The foundations for the greenhouses are in and the superstructure will be proceeded with at once.

Museum Cases, Abramson-Engessor Company, Contractors—This contract has been completed, and final payment was rendered on January 24, 1908.

Stone Wall—The contract, awarded to Guidone & Galardi in the fall, for the erection of a stone wall surmounted by an iron fence, between the Botanical Garden and St. Johns College property, which was held tip owing to financial conditions, has been approved by the Comptroller, and the contractors were notified to begin work on the same on March 30.

The Nursery--In the uurscry, trees and shrubs were pruned; a number of elm, birch, atih, sugar and Nortccy inaple trees were dug up, the roots pruned, and replantedl, to insure a good growth of fibrous roots and well-developed heads, when used for flailing out in the d,fferent parks.

Between the row.; of trccs anal shrubs, the ground has been ploughed and a cultivator has bceu rttn through to l o ell it up, and the soil has been worked into a mellow condition. A large nntuber r,f stones were turnetl up by the plough, cleared away, and piled along the easterly side of the nursery, forming a good stone wall.

'1 hrce hundred Dutch lindcu, moo reel-twigged linden and too Wheatley elm trees were bought in Europe, to restuck the nursery. A number of tree; an I shrubs were dug tip and shipped log the plantation a!ong the parade grounds, to replace those that were winter-killed.

Spuyten Duyvil Parkway. Bridle Path—The neces.,ary investigations and surveys have bean made, to ascer-

tain whether the construction of a br;dle path along the southerly side of this parkway would be feasible, as requested by residents in this vicinity; and, as it was found that such a path would be practicable, the work will be proceeded with at once by park labor.

General lmlir0ucmmment—Tlo general imnproycunent of this parkway—resurfacing, laying gutters, etc.--by park labor. is still held in abeyance, awaiting the permission of the Cotsptruller to pr(iceecl e itl, the work.

Considerable of the wood was also sold at public auction. ']'hc athletic fields, tennis courts and baseball diautouds have all been put into good condition for the coming season, and work on the golf links has been started.

BRONX AND I.'EL1IAMI PARKWAY. General 1entprovctment—All improvements on this parkway, including the cuustruc -

tion of the new roadway on the southerly boundary, laying gutters, etc., are still held in abeyance, pending the consent of the heard of Estimate and Apportionment to proceed with the work. These improvements are very necessary, and it is earnestly hoped that permission will be speedily granted its to continue them.

.Nl(.1SHOLU PARKWAY. On this parkway a number of loads of telford stone, given to the Department by

contractors making excavations, have been hauled to that part of the road where the old railroad crossed and a temporary plank crossing was erected on it. This part of the road was filled in last fall and the telford surface will be placed on it early in the next quarter.

CROTONA PARK. Improvement of Grounds North of Municipal Building—Guidone & Galardi, Con-

tractors—This work was suspended for a couple of months during the winter but is now going ahead and will prob;tbly be completed by June i.
