Disgrace to every true New-Yorler. My cousin,

men, the long period of confusion attending
the establishment of the electric underground
system still further clamped the brake on prog
ress and improvement. Long bitches and ridges
or dirt the blasting of rock which drove pas
sengers into other streets. and the miles Of
dangling red lanterns signalling danger at night,
were not only a hindrance but menace to
property owners. The partial change from the
horsecar to the electric by the Third-ave. COM
pany and the Incorporation OF this with the
Metropolitan system have caused a corresponding
revival in the real estate conditions of the Boule
ward. But the reawakening that has occurred
believe is only premonition of what is coming
with the building Of the tunnel
Thanks to the activity Of the West End Asso-
citation to save 315 elm trees in the centre Of
the street which the excavation for the tunnel
threatens to destroy, 1t probable that their
preservation will be effected. The association
has conferred with contractor Mcdonald, and
the latter has promised he will do all in his
power to save the trees. The association recon-
mended that the Gins be transplanted taking
them out five blocks ahead of the excavation and
setting them back in the soil above the com
pleted part of the work. It estimates that this
can be done at a cost of from $50 to $40 tree.

ment of the block front on the west side of

by Som Brothers, as announced in The Tribune,
is still further evidence of the evolution of this
part Of the city. The purchasers intend to erect
a Of private dwelling houses extending the
whole length of the property. The selection OF
this type of construction instead of the large
apartment house, which characterizes the lower
part Of the street, is noteworthy.

therefore recommends that the trees be trans

returned to their proper places.
Experts in gardening and forestry differ, how

older trees will prove impracticable L. John

Should the traveller VINO CHANGED to ride along
the Boulevard from Flfty-ninth-st. to Cathedral

houses. showing plainly short and fresh ex-
istence He would notice. also. that private
houses are being erected, and that many of the
apartment houses have suites Of rooms so large
as TO offer substitute for the private house.
He would find. too, that this belt Of apartment
buildings does not really begin until Sixty
ninth-st IS reached. where stand to the west
the Nevada and TO the east the more recent
Seminole and Ormonde. From here on the OBJ
server is bound TO sum UP the street as having
three distinctive possibilities-frst, the great
amount Of available property still vacant which
often extends for distance of three blocks on
either side Of the street; second, the poor class
Of old buildings and the possibility Of their easy
removal. and third the height size and mod
ernness Of the structures recently erected. These
three facts lead TO the belief that the future
growth Of the city is 10 make upper Broadway

I would suggest that those which are found in
the best condition be transplanted beyond the
sidewalks where places vacant, to the
parkway north Of the tunnel, in the Boule

Samuel Parsons also says that such plans OF

plant them Will involve great expense, and If
the trees sustain the first shock they viii stand
for six or seven years, and then perhaps die.
To reset these trees in their old places with a
tunnel underneath is out of the question. Their

under upper Broadway, is now attracting more

An English writer has said that a long.
