Indications That wsrk VIII BE Begun On
1t IN Early Fan.

yesterday for a special meeting OF the

OF until the fall the determination whether
or not tho board shall ask the Rapid Transit
Commission to lay out q route for con-
Meeting the Manhattan termi mails Of the
Williamsburg Bridge and the Brooklyn
Bridge by ar elevated loop.
The likelihood Is that the resolution

the last meeting Of the board, will be passed
on Thursday. The majority Of the members
OF the board are In favor Of it. but failed to
pass 1t last week because Of a squabble.
II passed On Thursday the resolution will
be sent at once to the Rapid Transit Com
mission, which will meet within a few days
to lay out the route. Comptroller Metz
assured the commission last Thursday
that the loop was intended to be temporary
expedient and that 1t would be removed
just as O as the subway extensions to
Brooklyn were built. That explanation so
satisfied the commission that at Q meeting
of the committee on plans after the meeting
of the board Chief Engineer Rice was d.
rected to 20 ahead Immediately with the
preparation Of the plans tor the loop. The
indications. yesterday. were that the loop
will undoubtedly be built and that work

Then came Hilldring three days after that
