COURT RULES
IN FAVOR Of
NEW SUBWAY
Appellate Division Confirms
Report of Service Board on
Lexington Avenue Route.

The report OF the Public Service Com
mission on the Lexington Avenue Sub
way was to-day confirmed by the APP
pellate Division, First Department, and
the work Of construction may COM
mence as soon as plans and details of
the contracts can be arranged.
This Lexington avenue route is a
modified one from that originally pro-
posed. Searting at the Battery. the
route will run under Church street to
Vesey street, and under the Astor
House to Broadway
At Broadway and Tenth street the
line will turn under wanamaker' store
going around Grace Church and then
across Fourth avenue and under pri-
vate property between Third and
Fourth avenues to Fourteenth street
and Irving place. The line will then
! continue beneath Grsmercy Park into
Lexington avenue at Twenty-second
| street.
Advantages of the Plan.
/ The other advantages OF the route as
passed upon by the court is that the
northerly end will form an efficient link
/ in a great trunk system OF subways eX-
tending to Pelham Bay Park and TO
Woodlawn, running through wider
street and more favorable ground and
involving less change of grade than did
the original route.
| II is claimed by the Public Service
Commission that the southcrly modi-
| fication Of the ID route eliminate
sharp curves, reduces operating eX-
penses, saves nearly three minutes in
the running time of express trains and
nearly four minutes in the running time
of local trains between the Battery and
/ the Harlem River. 1t is also claimed
that the cost of the new route would
be less than that of the old route
An important Change.
one important change in the new
route in the northern section Of the
