Public notice is hereby given that at

portionment. held June 5. 1905. the follow
ing petition was received:
To the Honorable the Board OF Estimats
and Apportionment:
The petition Of the Union Railway ot
New York City respectfully shows:
First-That your petitioner Is a street
surface railway company. organized and
existing under the laws of the state OF
New York. having been formed by the ming
of Articles of Consolidation In the Office OF
the Secretary of State OF New York on the
fifth day Of July. 1892.
Second-That for many years II has been
engaged in the operation OF a double track
street surface railroad. with extensions and
branches thereof. for the carriage OF pas
sengers IN the Boroushs Of Manhattan and
the Bronx. In the City OF New YORK and
using the overhead trolley system OF electric
traction as motive power thereon
Third-That one of the lines Of the petit
toner's railroad has been operated for many
years upon Fordharn Avenue and Bailey
Avenue IN the Borough OF the Bronx. and
afforded a convenient connection for PUBIC
Bronx Borough. In which are operated the
steam lines OF the New York and Harlem
Railroad. the elevated lines Of the Man
haitian Railway, and the Kinssbridse sec
ton OF the Borough Of the Bronx
An additional line of the petitioners
railroad has been operated on Broadway
between 23orh Street and the northerly line
Of the City OF New York. affording also a
convenient line OF travel to and from the
terminus OF the Subway Line TO many
thousands OF people travelling daily thereon.
Fourth-Your petitioner now proposes 70
connect its road upon Fordham and Bailey
Avenues. which now terminates at the in
tersection % 230th Street and Bailey Ave
nue., with the road upon Broadway. which
now terminates at 230th Street. by this
construction OF a double track extension or
branch In said Borough OF the Bronx. IN
the city Of New York. upon the following
streets and avenues:
Beginning at and connecting with the
petitioners double track road now con-
structed on Bailey Avenue at the intersec-
Thirtieth Street. running thence westerly In
upon the surface of West Two Hundred
and Thirtieth Street to Its intersection with
Broadway. there to connect with the petit
toners double track road now operated
thereon.
Fifth-That heretofore and on or about
the 23rd day Of August. 1892. the Common
Council of the City OF New York gave it's
consent 10 the construction OF an extension
to the petitioners railroad upon streets
described IN the resolution as thence
northerly along said (SedgwiclO Avenue to
Its intersection with Bailey Avenue, thence
along Bailey Avenue to its intersection with
Broadway at Kingsbridge.'
Your petitioner believes that by such
description the Common Council giving such
consent intended to include the right to
construct upon Two Hundred and Thirtieth
said resolution was not effective for such
purpose by reason Of failure to specifically
describe the said street.
Sixth-That such extension or branch will
be $50 feet IN length and when constructed
will enable the petitioner to operate a con
tinuous lire OF cars upon and over its
Bailey Avenue and Broadway lines above
described.

operate said extension or branch by the
overhead system OF electricity. similar in
all respects to that now in use on It's other
lines OF road.
Nghth-That for the purpose OF con-
structinz and operating such branch or eX-
tension Of its road your petitioner desires
to obtain from your Honorable Board and
hereby applies for its consent 10 and
grant OF the franchise or right for the con
struction. maintenance and operation OF
double track extension or branch or Its ex-
listing railroad for public use in the con-
veyance Of persons and property for com
pensation over the street and avenues above
mentioned.
Wherefore, Your petitioner prays that
public notice of this application and OF the
time and place when and where the same
will be first considered be given, as re
Guired By law. and that franchise or right
