Railroad, with view Of determining upon conneo-
tor with the latter in the present terminus Of the
Long Island Railroad, at the foot Of Atlantic street
Br oklyn should have 10 be abandoned as far as the
Of steam is concernel 1t is probable that West
| Flushing or Winfield will bs selected-mon likely the
latter inasmuch as high ridge Of land intervening
between Jamaica and West flushing would be
avoided by eftctpg the junction Of the two roads at
Winfield Il is ntimated that in OF the sas OF
the tunnel in Atlantic street for $1,000 IS proposed
the tunnel would be demolished the grade of the street
at that point lowered and railroad track laid for
horse cars to run from the South Ferry TO East New
York where they would connect with trains propelled
by steam between that point and Jamaica. The COZ
tempated improvement it is believed, would enhance
property fronting the present tunnel TO greater
amount than the sum offered the railroad company for
their franchise &C., whie the entire cost can probably
be realized for the privilege Of running shor:
that route.
