Chief Engineer Martin has devised another
plan for bringing the trolley-cars close to the
Bridge station in Brooklyn. which Is certainly
less Objectionable than those heretofore under
consideration. If it were certain that the laying
of three tracks on the plaza close to the station
and two tracks through Liberty-st. would be
the end of the matter the opposition to the plan
would probably not be great, especially II the
tracks on Liberty-st. were placed on the East
Side of that thorOughfare. But there Is no
telling what a railroad company will do when
1t once gains an entering wedge The best way
of solving this problem is to run the trolley
cars under the Bridge storage-tracks north OF
Tillary-st They would then be out of the way
and would reach the Bridge in the most direct
line
