NAY AID BRIDGE LOOP.
OHUers Bill Nay RemoUe Delaney
Street O7cners' Objections.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune J

Albany. Jan 14-Assemblyman oliver pre-
sented a bill tonight which. in the opinion Of
many here, is designed to prepare the way for
an elevated loop connecting the Williamsburg
and Brooklyn bridges.
1t specifies that wherever any street shall
have been opened widened shall in future
be opened widened for an approach TO a
bridge connecting the two boroughs of the city,
or shall be used for such bridge approach the
Board of Estimate may direct that all the cost
of such widening be paid by the city. This
would apply directly to Delaney street, the
cost of widening which now is being borne by
the property owners. All suggestions of an ele-
waited loop have been opposed bitterly by them
because they desire the park al the bridge ap-
proach The argument made here is that having
the city pay the expense of creating the ap-
proach would deprive them of some ground for
opposition to the loop

oring to secure The location OF the

$40, 600. 90 annually to the city.
