Also it has proposed to run cars through
a subway TO be built from the Prospect
Park station TO Fourth avenue, where a
connection would be possible with the
Flatbusli avenue extension of the Fourth

As To a proposed elevated structure on

practical approach To the Manhattan
Bridge is possible except through Flat
bush avenue, has tentatively offered the
commission the alternative of occupying
such elevated approach as a tenant. IL the
commission cannot have constructed any
other practical approach
Commissioner McCarroll discussing
that point, said yesterday that any talk
Of elevated route over the Flatbush
avenue extension was based on a false
foundation
The attitude Of the commission" he
said, lis determined and final upon any
elevated extension on that avenue and it
will not be permitted under any condi-
