etfaight line. the extension IL 10 make
. wide and ugly detour connecting with
Boulsvarde Lafayette at a most abrupt
angie, dangerous and unsightly. Angles
fSaught with danger TO drivers and
sutomobilists characterize the line OF
The extension. A short-sighted policy
and q total disregard for the comfort
% the thousands OF pleasure drivers
uhs will daily %pstronlze the continuous
lrfvs between Riverside road and the
Lafayette Boulevard seems to have
Rrompte6 the city In its acceptance OF
tha present plans, In Justice to the

Innuence brought 10 Bear.
Considerable influence was brought
TO bear 10 effect the Change Of plans
and the approval OF the present which
are So universally condemned.
To favor the parties who objected
to the nrst plans, II became necessary
for the city to secure a right OF way
through Audubon Park. This was done
with the result that a large section
Of the park was confscated for tn,
purpose. Turning from a point about
One Hundred and Ftfty-hfth street tn,
botch extension awnings abruptly to th'
east directly away from the river, AM
