| THE TROLLEY NOT wANTED-NoTEs or MEET
INGS, SPORTS AND SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENTS.
The hearing before the Railroad Committee Of the
Board OF Aldermen Tuesday, concerning the ped
ton OF the Union Railroad Company for leave to lay
| q gidiron of trolley lines on the North Side was Of
particular interest to the citizens OF the upper part
| OF this municipality. At the time. the opn-
| Ions expressed were hardly representa-
tive enough give the hearing any great significance
Robert b. Abbott said he appeared for over 5000
woringmen, and favored granting the requested per
mission Luke L. Cozzens. Henry A. Gumbleton. l.
| G. IIottenroth and Frank LOOMS, In opposition,
hardly spoke for the OF the citizens Interested.
OF them said they represented owners Of property
along the proposed line. but four OF them are con-
nected with corporations having purely selfish in
terest In the subject. Mr. Loomis. counsel for The
New-York Central road. opposed not the entire ap.
pication but only that part Of II relating TO the pro
posed route the Merose yard OF the Port Morris
branch Of his road. 1t IS 10 be regretted that the
body OF citizens was not better represented. Once
the unsightly and dangerous trolley Is stretched,
# will be exceedingly difficult to get rid Of 1t. This
old Man OF the would grow more and more bur.
densome as the North side grew thcky populated.
The present is the time to oppose him.
The action OF the Republican County Committee in
continuing the old Assembly District boundaries As
far its organization Is concerned pending the de
sion about the constutonaty OF the reapportonnent
has put stop TO much political speculation on the
North side. The selection OF district leaders
postponed 1t is hoped. until fair redstricing Of the
city aud state is made. That part Of the city above
the Harlem particularly affected by the change In
boundary lines.
The four parkways OF the North side. the Moshoh.
Crotona spuyten Duyv and the Pelham and Bronx
will In a generation be conspicuous ornaments Of the
city. At present they are largely covered with under
brush trees, walls etc. The state Of the develop.
ment OF the regions through which they pass would
hardly justify placing them at once In the condition
which they will eventually reach. However. starr
must be made at some time, and Park Superintendent
Louis f. lIafen proposes 10 make IL lie has
the funds at his disposal lie has applied for StO'
900 for this purpose. sum which would DO littls
more than TO remove distractions. The Park Board
referred lis request TO the Board OF Appointment
which handed IL TO Controller Myers. That on
cia has not yet expressed bis opinion With regard to
voting the money.
Mr. IIafens activity extends 10 all parts OF the
domain under his care. New settees TO the number
OF $50 have been placed In Claremont, ST. MsNs
and Crotona Parks. Nothing that this official has
done Is praiseworthy than the laying out Oh
tennis and baseball grounds In various parks. -Four
tennis courts have been finished in st. Mary's PARK
and a third baseball field is being put in shape.
Additional plots will be laid ont for these and other
sports time to time. until there will be abundant
facilities for all who wish TO enjoy them.
