TWO PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED.


Josiah T. Marean. late Democratic candidate
for Justice of the Supreme Court. was strongly
in favor of the Hudson-ave plan He said:
II have read with interest The Tribunes arti-
cles on this question, and am very glad to see
the matter so thoroughly agitated. In to-day's
Tribune II was suggested by some one that Hud-
son-ave. be wdened to the river and that ulti-
mately bridge be established at that point
1t to that that is the pr actiCal solution
of the problem for the relief Of Futon-st.. with
out the enormous expense which would be In
,oved in continuing Flatbush-ave. through to
the present bridge in a straight line. That would
afford an outlet. for the present. from Fulton-st
at the junction Of Flatbush-a to Myrtle-ave.
The streetcar traffic to the Bridge, which now
congests Fulton-st. could very readily be trans
ington-st. In case some communication with
New York at that point could be established. the
widening Of Hudson-ave. through to the river
would n axe 1t a very important thoroughfare
This plan would solve at once two prohlems-the
ccrgestion Of Fulton-st. and the bridge question.
Il think the scheme of bridge across Gov
ernor's Island to Red Hook Point and thence to
some point In South Brooklyn is also a very i'm
rortant one for the future development Of that
part Of the city, which is certain to be great and
would be fOstered and helped along by such a
bridge. But 1t seems to me that the Hudson
ave. scheme would afford the solution of q great
many problems"
