discussion has been revived UPON the old project Of
extending the Bridge railroad to the City Hall square
Bridge south OF llgh-st simply for storage pur-
poses, and that the extension Of the tracks beyond
Ifllary-s, where the present limit is will simply
suit IN extending the line of cars standing over the
street on toward the City Hail. What is needed in
city Hall is legislation to make an open space Of the
territory bounded by Fulton, Washington and riary
sts. by clearing away the buildings. This would afford
a suitable approach to the bridge structure and
give proper frontage to the new Federal Building.
Then with the broad new avenue afforded by the
widening of LibeIty-st. on CEe side and Washington
ST. the other there would be ample room for travel
on foot and in vehicle to and from the Bridge and the
railrOsd connections would remain substantially as
they now are, with only the notifications made neces
stry by the new Bridge station. The necessary egs-
latiye authority has been secured for the widening
OF iberty-st. and the creation of open pIazal
Fulton-st between Sands and High SITS, and when this
work is done the time will be ripe for the other open
plaza project south of Tillaryst to City Hall square
ingon st. drag along, end the work Of tearing down
the building, which were to have been out OF the
of the contractor for the ironwork Of the storage
tracks by August /, has not yet been begun. The |
Washington street Episcopal Church people have
been told that they occupy their building for |
two three months before it will be wanted by
the Bridge authorities.
