NEW ROAD rs BELMONT'S
Interborough Men Made Directors
of RiuaI of Union RaiIz0ay Co.

Five directors OF the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company were yesterday elected directors OF the
New-York City Interborough Railway Company
which holds charter for proposed surface electric
roads in The Bronx. This action. taken at a meet
closed what has been believed among railroad men
in the city for months. that the Belmont syndicate
really owns and controls the new company.
The directors placed in the company by the Bel
mont syndicate were w. G. Oakman, Andrew
Freedman George W. Young. Alfred Skitt and
Walter Luttgen 1t is significant that their being
placed In control OF the company follows closely
on the decision of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court approving the companys fran
chises for building trolley lines forty miles long in
The Bronx and crossing Central Bridge Wash
ington Bridge and two three other bridges
owned by the city.
Capital to build the trolley lines in The Bronx as
rivals of the existing Union Railway lines is TO be
furnished Immediately, it is understood, and the
work of construction will be begun soon as
practicable and pushed with vigor during the COM
ing summer The plan is TO make the lines feeders
for the subway and the elevated roads. There will
be no free transfers to and from the subway or
elevated roads, however. the plan being to give
transfer only for extra three-cent fare For
that reason there will be no merger OF the new
company with the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company, but the New-York City Interborough
Railway Company will keep its individuality and
its ownership of the trolley lines, and will make
contracts with the Interborough Rapid Transit
title the holder transfer between the subway or
elevated roads and the trolley lines.

SCHOOL ON JAIL SITE.
Board Would Put Ten Story Struct-
are IN LudIOW-St.

The Board of Education has begun negotia-
tions to get the sites of the Ludlow-st. Jail
and the Essex Market police court. The plan
is to exchange for the ground which the
court and the Jail stand the site of Public School
No. 144. This proposition, whose like the mem
bers of the board have not heard before. was
made by Commissioner A. Leo Everett a we'll
known lawyer of Manhattan who represents
in his action the committee bylaws and
legislation and the associate city superin-
tendents. Regarding his proposal Mr.. Everett
said yesterday:
The inmediats proximity Of the police court
and the Jail. situated site bounded by
Broome. Essex and Ludlow sts. to Public School
No. 1877, which stands on the next site south, is
Injurious to the pupils who attend the school
The site of Public School No. 144. In Allen-st..
between Canal and Hester SITS, facing the ele-
waited railroad, is unfavorable to school pur-
poses, though we'll adapted to the needs of a
police court and jail
Public School No. IA IS of the oldest
schools and absolutely the worst school in Man
haitian said an official of the Department of
Education later, "and we Will soon have to build
another structure to take its place. 1t is expe-
dent to find another site for the new structure If
possible If we can get the site proposed we will
put up a school for intermediate and elementary
school pupils that will greatly relieve the
neighborhood
LudIow-st jail (Which has only about fifty in
mates and must be dispensed with at any
rate) for great ten story school building which
would accommodate about eight thousand chill
dren and would be the greatest school of its kind
in the world Such building is considered per-
fectly feasible by Superintendent c. B. ]. Snyder
of the buildings bureau. who has been consider
ing IT for years. There is a strong opposition
to it among the officials and the commissioners
and 1t must be delayed for some time yet.
I'VE will take step toward it by building a
structure of six stories instead. 1t will bAbuilt
along the lines of the greater structure and
may solve some of its difficulties. There is only
one six story school Of the elementary type in
the city That is No. 60. which Is being
pleted on the East Side. We had originally
intended that 1t should be skyscraper' school.
but net with opposition much stronger than
exists at present The people are becoming
educated UP to schools built upon economical
lines"
