BOARD OF ESTIMATE AND APPORTIONMENT. STATE OF NEW YORK, PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT, NEW YORK, October 20, 1908. (PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT MATTERS.) JOSEPH HAAG, Esq., Secretary, Board of Estimate and Apportionment, No. 277 Broad- way, New York City: Minutes of meeting of Board of Estimate and Apportionment, City of New York, DEAR SIR-I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of October 8, held in Room 16, City Hall, Friday, October 23, 1908. relative to the hearing to be held October 23, 1908, upon application of the Commis- sioner of Bridges for the approval of the site for the Henry Hudson Memorial Bridge and the approaches thereto. The Board met in pursuance of an adjournment. The Commission has examined the plans transmitted, particularly as to their re- lation to future rapid transit lines. As yet no rapid transit route has been planned by this Commission or its predecessors which would utilize this structure, but it is Present-George B. McClellan, Mayor; Herman A. Metz, Comptroller; Patrick quite possible thai at some future time a route would be projected along Fort Wash- F. McGowan, President, Board of Aldermen; John F.

We are informed that the plans for the Inwood Viaduct provide for of Manhattan; Bird S. Coler, President, Borough of Brooklyn; Louis F. Haffen, a four-track subway, and it would seem wise that if the Hudson Memorial Bridge President, Borough of The Bronx; Lawrence Gresser, President, Borough of Queens, is to be constructed, provision should be made for the continuation of such a route and George Cromwell, President, Borough of Richmond. on the Hudson Memorial Bridge, and that the approaches thereto should be such as to make practicable proper construction and operation. However, the construction of a rapid transit route in this locality is so far in the future, and the needs of other The Mayor, Hon. George B. McClellan, presided. sections of the City are so much more pressing, that the construction of this bridge, as a portion of the rapid transit system, is not urgent and might well be delayed for a long time to come. The minutes of the meeting held September 25, i9o8, were approved as printed. Very sincerely, W. R. WILLCOX, Chairman.

In other words, Judging by the attitude which has been assumed at times by the street surface it is proposed to construct an elevated structure in the Flatbush avenue extension railway companies in this City, there is little doubt but that objection will be made nearly one-half its length.

This is, of As before stated, the Public Service Commission has not as yet taken any action course, true to some extent, but I believe the companies enjoying valuable rights from upon the application of the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad Company. Assuming the City should work in harmony with the City to secure the best system possible to that the Public Service Commission does grant the right to construct an elevated distribute the traffic, and prevent congestion at the entrances to the East River railroad on the Flatbush avenue extension, I believe that this plan has some good bridges, which have been constructed at so great an expense by the City, and upon features, though no discussion is I.'ertinent at this time, for the reason that nothing which provision has been made for tracks to be used by the railway companies.

The extension of the operation of the cars of the Brooklyn Company into the Borough of Manhattan, would, since it would be unwise to allow such operation by Proposed Resolution. the overhead trolley system, require those companies to equip the cars so operated for Whereas, There are now pending before the Board petitions from the Third Avenue both the overhead and the underground system.

The time to make the change from one hattan Bridge to the Manhattan terminal thereof, and from the Brooklyn City Railroad system to the other requires only from ten to twenty seconds, and the cost of the Company for the right to construct, maintain and operate a street surface railway upon double equipment is only slightly more than the cost for one system only. The cars the Flatbush avenue extension, from Fulton street to the entrance of the Manhattan operated in the Borough of Manhattan are now equipped for the underground system, Bridge, in the Borough of Brooklyn ; and and the tracks in Flatbush avenue extension may be constructed to admit of operation Whereas, It appears that if such franchises be granted, the cars from the Borough by that system.
