Whether this plan is satisfactory or not Presi.
Company, and President Berrl both declare that
some plan wal soon be devised to bring all the
cars over inc DTlORe.
While the engineers are at work on these
plans those of the trolley roads arc also .prcpar-
Ing to relieve the congestion o ftratilc which now
blocks Fulton street. The hope of the trolley
i profitable. with even their present pr is, business in Is

could ride. II is manifest that no increase of
business could be carried on these tracks. and
the loss of time is also Il great, disadvantage.
Plans arc now being Prepnred TO open ar up
street. Navy street. and Hudson avenue
to Fulton street, beyond Flatbush avenue,
thus giving six tracks instead OF two for the
with four OF the tracks. Through cars would
run over the extra tracks, and the local business
be taken by the cars which would continue TO
run on Fulton street to the ferry and bridge.
The bridge and railroad people are ~sanguine
that these arrangements can be completed, con-
tracts signed, and all tho work done before an
other six months have passed. Then Brooklyn
would really be accessible. and the. running. of
trolley cars would SO increase the bridge capacity
that no amount of growth which could take
place during the next five years could ovcrtaN 1t.
East River Bridge promise that another great
highway shall be completed ncross the river IRON
Delaney street to WILLIAMSBURG. This bridge
is to be built so that from the BEGINNING elevated
railroads and trolley lines can not only run across
1t, but can make direct connections. at eithel
side of the bridge. so that the crossing OF the
river may be merely part of routes which may
extend from any part OF New York to any par
OF the Greater New York which lies on, LonG
Island. This bridge will have two tracks fol
elevated trains. four for trolly cars. and outside
