PROTECTING FIFTH AVENUE
Shall Trucks Be Excluded During
Certain Hours
Public Hearing to BE Given on Al
derman Morgan's Ordinance.

A public hearing, the date Of which
will be announced tomorrow. will be
given by the Aldermanic Law Committee
on tie ordinance to exempt n portion OF
Fifth avenue from use by trucks during
certain hours, introduced by Alderman
Morr an at the meeting Of the Board of
Aldermen last week.
The proposed ordinance reads as fol-
lows.
All that portion OF Fifth avenue In the city Of
New York which Is between the ~nurthcrly side OF
Twenty. hfth street and the ~northeriy side OF FIFTY
ninth street shall not. between the hours OF 2
O'Clock and I O'Clock In the afternoon Of each and
every day. between the hrst day OF October and
the nrst day OF June ~tollowins, In each and every
year, he n thoroughfarc for vehicles used in
transporting merchandise. excepting for the de-
livery OF the same thereon, which shall be made
by entering upon and leaving said avenue from
and by the street next adjacent TO the place OF
delivery. Any violation OF this provision shall be
punishable as a misdemeanor.
The proposition to prohibit trucks from
being driven on Fifth avenue Is a step
towards the preservation of that thor
ougnfare as a driveway. An attempt was
made to have the last Legislature pass
the ordinance as a law, but the bill was
shelved In the interest, 1t Is alleged, OF
the street-grabbing railroad corporations,
who want the use of Fifth avenue for a
cable railroad.
Tie ordinance will not prevent a rail.
road from being constructed on Fifth
avenue. providing the necessary franchise
and consents are obtained, but its pass
age will stimulate the sentiment to pre-.
serve the avenue as a parkway.
