THE SHORE ROAD CONTRACT EXECUTED
FUTURE OF THE COMMISSION.

Elijah r. Kennedy president OF the Shore Road
Commission yesterday signed the contract with Cody
Brothers the construction OF the road along the
waterfront between Bay Ridge and Third-ave Inc
award was made by the Commission just week
earlier the lowest bid being accepted. Cody Brothers
have given what is regarded sufficient bond. and
under heavy penalties 10 complete the worK WITH
in the time prescribed The road WILL It is expected
be finished while the special Commission in charge OF
X Is still In existence
II Is not expected that the Commission Will be con-
tnued in power under the charter OF the consolidated
city. In the opinion OF some. at least. OF the men,
bers. there Is valid argument why an exception
should be made in this
Some remarks recently made on the subject by
President Kennedy have been misunderstood. What
he suggested that 1t would be wise for the Com
mission legislation authorizing the city OF
Brooklyn 10 issue bonds from time TO time for the
carrying on Of work on the improvement and then
TO have provision inserted In the charter carry
ing over the power granted TO Brooklyn TO the COM
ing municipality
This was wrongly construed 10 mean that the Com
mission would endeavor TO have provision for Its
own continuance inserted In the charter. Cnques-
tionaby the people OF Brooklyn would be glad to
this work carried to final completion under the dsrec
ton Of the citizens who have shown great an inter-
in It, and have freely given their services to the
community
But. a member Of The Commission remarked yes
terday. there Is not one valid reason tina; has oc-
CURED to why this work should be placed
under the direction of the Park Department Of the
Greater New York. The only argument that can be
offered in favor of keeping the Commission in office
Is a sentimental, one. and ] do believe such
argument would have weight either in the minds OF
he trainers Of the charter or OF the members of the
Legislature We have heard many kindly express
sions OF feeling. for which grateful and have
been made 10 feel that many OF fellow-citizens
would be glad 10 have us stay where We are and 80
on with this work until the splendid plans made by
Mr.. Omsted are fully carried out. But do not
anticipate here iS no
TO believe that the Charter Commission will show
special regard for us.
Il am convinced TO be sure. that the work would
be completed sooner II left in the hands Of par
ticularly interested In it, who would go before the
city authorities and urge them issue the bonds
needed. than II intrus;ed TO a Park Commissioner
who would have this to look after along with a large
number Of other matters OF importance They could
point TO the provision OF law which we hope to have
enacted and say that 1t was passed for the specia;
purpose or enabling the city TO make provision for
this mater and by hammering away would be pretty
sure TO accomplish their object. But that Is not. in
my Judgment. an argument OF real value in favor OF
continuing the Commission. and fully expect that
comes in"
