WILL THE BoARD LAY STREET CAR TRACKS
THE PARE DEPARTMENT MAY BUILD LINES
THROUGH THE TRANSVERSE ROADS.


President Robb, Of the Park Department, believes
that the Department should lay street car tracks
at its own expense through the transverse roads n
Central Park and then lease them To the railroad com
uany which bids highest for the use of them. The
Fourth Avenue Railroad Company has made the highest
hid for the use of the transverse road No at Eighty
dfth-st bit the amount not satisfactory to the
Park Board Mr.. Robb then directed Engineer W.
A. Kellogg, Of the Department, TO make an estimate
of the cost OF laying the tracks
Nj Kellogg's report was given TO the PARK Board
Yesterday The length OF the transverse road be
tween Fifth and Eighth is $50 feet The cost
of double track with the Johnson steel glrder rails
weighing seventyfve pounds to the yard, wood cross
taes creosoted, the report places at 81 90 Der ineal
foot for 574O feet $40 0O6 and with superinendence
of the work s2ls; total, Silica. For an ordinary
call of pounds TO the yard the cost would
be 50 o75 The Board inclined TO consider
the matter favorably and 1t will be taken up at the
next meeting.
"The advantage OF this pan," Mr. RobD said,
would be that the Department would obtain a
higher rental for the lease Of these tracks but would
stilI retain the ownership and regulation OF them,
as IL does all matters relating 10 the Park This Is
mDoriant the regulations will provide Tor the
cleaning che streets OF and dirt believe
added Mr. RObb, the city should retain the owner
snip Of all its street car routes.s
