appeared present their views which
as The speakers Four different interests represent
ed yesterday
First Those who favored the extension on the ground
that there was no street between Fulton and Grand,
running from river to river and the necessities of
vel or traffic mperatively required MODE BESIDES,
the opening of wide street through the crowded aud
oenghted regions of the Fourth ward would i'm.
prove the value Of the property therein situated and
cisperse the poor people that huddle in crowded
to hsr and more healthy ssSos Of the
property urge this view OF the question
second Those who oppose the extension tso the
Bowery ension and Central Park and thai best
to pay for one improvement before we venture
Third Those who wish to extend Chambers stree. to
james slip would thereby interfere with fewer srees
and make LEES gore lots than any other line posed
Fourth Those who wish the line to run to Cahsrine
slip as 1t would thereby make strait street from end to
end.
