PLANS OF THE ELEVATED ROAD.
TEE WORK WHICH WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE NINTH
AVENUE COMPANY's SUIT

A reporter of The TRIBUNE had converse
ton last evening with ID. W. Wyman, the superintendent
Of the NewYork Elevated Railway, who has charge OF
the building OF the road. He stated, in reference 10
Judge Hoesons decision, that as yet the company
had received no official notice Of itaGd were unacqhed
with the text, and that it therefore somewhat
early to talk about operations upon which the lOah
would enter However, there was no DOUBT thal
the Injunction had been removed, and the com
pany would Immediately begin the completion OF the
work which in progress when the suit WIS
brought if matters put in proper shape To-Day
they would Immediately begin work on the following
switches tomorrow morning: that from Fory-second-
ST. to Ffeth-st., $500 feet long; that extending from
Twelfth-st to Twentyfourthst, distance of nearly y
of mile hat at Houston-st. $50 feet long, and that at
Iiberty-st 6is .eet long While the suit has been IN
PROCESS the beams Orders tracks and other parts OF
road have been made now ready to be placed IN
postion and only await the mechanical force TO
set them in their proper places. At the tme
the suit was begin there 40 men employed,
who If they had not been interfercd WITH would have
finished the four switches in month; but MI Myhdh
sand mat there was considerable difficulty in getting The
work again under thorough system and that therefore II
would probably he about SIX weeks before they were mn
ished. BY Of these extra switches the company
would be able TO make sufficient changes in the road 20
satisfy uptown residents In anticipation OF 'aVoTapc
decision they had had constructed ten new passenger
ears and they would be able to put on five extra trans
They would then the trans from all the stations
every 7l2 minutes, and the running time between Inc
Central Park and the Battery would DC 30 minutes Inc
speed would not be increased The trains RIM now every
Is minutes between 0coc, and o'clock ~ In II
is not intended TO the trains any earlier III the morn
ing or lafe IN the evening" because there is 10 travel or
call for them.
Mr. Wyn an die not doubt that in time these switches
Would be connected rlakinC continuous tracks, but
how soon that would be done nc could not say When
they are connected the trains will bc run every three
minutes. and the time from the Central Park 10 the Ea'-
terry will be 90 minutes At present there Is no el-
ton OF continuing the road above SXtyhTst-S, but ~ u
thought that by the time the switches are finished NE
SUIT against the company brought by Nj. Spadcr at the
Battery will be dccdeI, and that they VIII be- abG 10
continue the road 10 the SOut1 ferry Inc other
remaining suit against them is brought by the proprietor
of the Pacific Hotel they think they have won their
most difficult victory, and that Tie other suits Viii not
amount much. Mr. Wymau believed that the decision
would be considered valuable victory by the Gilbert
Railway COMPANY ana would considerably strengthen
them in proceeding with their work lie dld NOT expect
the suit any further and ANTICIPATED that TINS decision
would lreyen tnrt..r Interercn-e WIN lnclI lIans.
