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 a portion OF
Fifth avenue from use by trucks during
certain hours. introduced by Alderman
MORAN 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
twenty. nfth street and the ~northerly side OF FIFTY
ninth street shall not, between the hours OF 2
O'Clock and Z O'Clock In the afternoon OF each and
every day. between the first day OF October and
the nrst day OF June following. In each and every
year, be a thoroughfare for vehicles used In
transporting merchandise, excepting for the do
livery OF the same thereon, which shall he made
by entering upon and lea wing 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
oughfare 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 safeguarding railroad corporations,
who want the use of Fifth avenue for a
cable railroad.
The 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 VIII stimulate the sentiment to pre-
serve the avenue as a parkway.
