FIGHT FOR PARK TREES.
RAND Transit Commission Nay
Block Brooklyn Sub5oay Scheme.

Controller Grout says that the Belmont in
terests probably are responsible for the aglta-
ton among the residents of Flatbush in favor
of immediate action by Park Commissioner Ken
nedy who has been asked to allow about three
hundred oak trees in the park to be ruined to
provide storage yard underground for the
Interborough cars alongside Prospect Park on
the Ocean Parkway.
IF Commissioner Kennedy should assent 10
the companys proposition the plan would not
get through the Rapid Transit Commission
said the Controller yesterday. The commission
approves the stand he has taken, 1t is his nrst
duty to protect the park against invasion AT
the same time if no other way could be found
to accommodate an operating company desiring
room for storage of its cars then 1t would be
better to sacrifice the trees for the sake of the
subway and the added convenience resulting
But the point is that the Belmont people are not
willing to build a subway further down the
boulevard to a spot where they would have room
to store their cars. We have asked them to do
it. but they have refused to fall in with our
suggestion.
1T will be year or more before the Brooklyn
tunnel to the Long Island Railroad station IS
completed. 1t will be better in the long run, for
the people to wait for six or eight months until
the Rapid Transit Commission is able to ad-
vertise for bids for the alternative routes in
Brooklyn. l don't believe the commission is
willing this time to dispose of the question OF
a storage yard alongside Prospect Park that Will
destroy several hundred trees
