REPAv1NG ANOTHER RAILROAD INTERsECTloN-
GOOD WORK AND POOR WORK IN THIS LINE
People who are in the habit Of using Flatbush-
ave on their way to and from Prospect Park were
gratihed Yesterday that the work of asphalt
ing another railroad intersection had been begun
AT Bergen-st and Flatbush-ave. The new asphalt
will be placed only on side Of the tracks in
Flatbush-ave as the east side OF the avenue is
paved with granite. while there is an asphalt pave
nent on the west side between Fifth and Eighth
ayes All the carriage driving and wheeling is done
on the asphalt surface. the granite blocks being
used ONLY by a few trucks. 1t Ii an open question
whether in case OF collision on the asphalt pave
lnent the vehicle going downtown on the wrong
side of the way would be held TO blame. and more
than ordinary care is required on the part OF all
who use this pavement, whether going up the NIL

tions decided upon but just what will be done

the members so to speak
There is no doubt that the hard times have in
jured our business rather than the bicycle The
latter has hurt men badly who did a light wagon
business. but IL has not affected us much except
per cent less road horses kept now than formerly
People OF moderate means who have been affected
by the times have given up their horses and taken
10 the bicycle. People VINO wealthy enough
keep both. There is great falling of in the value
OF cheap horses, but high-class carriage horses
almost dear they ever were. People have

that coaches for these occasions cannot be super
