Another proposed opening or new street ~
talked OF,
FROM CANAL TO CHATHAM SQUARE
This, 1t is planned, TO commence where Baxter
street crosses Canal and TO ran it In s0utheastery
direction TO point opposite Catharine street. This
opening, II Is believed, would very efficiently ale
viate communication from the ferries on the East
tons OF the city and act indirectly as an additional
outlet for vehicles now crowded into Broadway. For
a similar purpose IL has been suggested that TO cut
through
FROM CHATHAM STREET TO WORTH,
across Park street, In the direction towards the
Chatham, would also be beneficial. Both these two
last mentioned improvements are urged for the
especial reason that they open direct connection
with the side ferries and the shipping through
the New Bowery, Pearl, Catharine and New Cham
bers streets.
But one other measure has been suggested in con-
necton with this system OF improvements, and that
IS, the opening VI street through from Barclay TO
Greenwich street as a continuation OF West Broad
way ana College place, TO run parallel with the ex
tension OF Church street. south OF Vesey; and, in
