ing the Assembly convention, and the same shall

in which he says:
Regarding communication from Mr.. Brennan th9t
a telegraph signal box be placed at One-huhoreu-
and-eghty- fourth-st. and Third-aYe. beg TO say
that although il is greatly needed here ana WIN De
appreciated by the citizens would it not be cheaper
and more useful to have telephone pooth at

about $25. and telephones would cost apouI ~ d
month each. allowing fifty booths for The Bronx

lieve there would be no difficulty in having the

According to the published statement of the late
Captain Allaire. II seems that the first thing
