yesterday There much criticism Of the
lection Of Gold street had been fought bitterly
in the first place by the downtown taxpayers,
clergymen and other citizens, because Of the
big gas mains in the street, the water mains
and the four-foot electric conduit Borough
President CoIer favored it. It was pointed out
again yesterday that quicksands were abundant
in the neighborhood.
Among the many representatives of the city
government who visited the scene or the acct
ply wished TO get information as to the
liability Of the city for any possible future dam
age suits.
There was much criticism OF the action Of the
police after the accident. Patrick McAvoy, fore
man OF the Brooklyn Union Gas Company,
whose duty was to turn of the escaping gas
was arrested after the accident and held in
5000 for criminal negligence. but the gas vas
left turned on for two hours without check from
the police The police also failed to notify the
Water Department Of the breaking OF the water
mains which almost cost several more lives and
which undermined the dwellings between Front
and York streets. The water was not turned of
for more than two hours after the accident
The police after the accident would not allow
the accredited representatives Of the Buildings
and Highways departments inside Of the police
spot Newspaper men and representatives of
the telephone and telegraph companies were also
kept out Of the lines by Inspector schmittberger.
