VETOES THE WAGNER BILL
AGAINST DEPRESSION OF ATLANTIC
AVE. TRACKS.
MAYOR OBJECTS TO HAVING CITY PAY HALF
THE EXPENSE OF THE LONG AGI-
TATED IMPROVEMENT.

Mayor Van Wyck announced yesterday afternoon
that he had disapproved Senator Wagner's bill
providing for the Improvement of Atlantic-ave. at
an estimated cost of $2,5Oo,GOO, half of which
to be paid by the Long Island Railroad Company
and half by the city of New-York. This means
that the railroad tracks in Atlantic-ave. will not
be depressed-at least for some time
Mayor Van Wyck's action bitter disap
pontment to Eugene G. Blackford, president of the
Atlantic Avenue Improvement Commission, who
for several years has worked zealously to get the
railroad tracks off the surface of that thorough
fare and to check the depreciation of property
both sides.
1t is believed htat the Mayors action resulted
from conviction that the city should be
relied to pay anything for taking the tracks from
the street level but that the entire burden should
be thrown upon the railroad company. In reaching
this decision the Mayor follows the ideas of men,
bers of the Municipal Assembly, who. it will be
remembered refused to grant a franchise to the
Long Island Railroad for tunnel under the East
River unless the company would agree to release
the city from all expense in depressing the tracks
In Atlantc-ave.
Just what course will be pursued by the
Atlantic Avenue Improvement Commission is not
known. Under the original act providing for the
depression Of the tracks, It stipulated that the
work could not be done until the Long Island Rail-
road, which proposed to tunnel the East River, had
actually begun the construction of the underground
connection between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The
railroad company ready and anxious to build
the tunnel, but could get a franchise from the
Municipal Assembly. Meanwhile the residents
along Atlantic-ave. were obliged to wait for their

would go through and become a law. Now, moth
