WORK ON JAMAICA BAY PLAN
Officials Endeavor to Hasten
Proposed Improvement.

Controller Prendergast's office is prepar-
ing data to submit to the courts in the
action to exempt from the debt limit the
dividend paying stock properties or the
city of New York so as to enable the city
to proceed with the Jamaica Bay improve
ment. to which it has already been COM
mitted by the action of the Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment.
Commissioner Tomkins, of the Dock De
partment, is expendng the first appropria-
ton of $4,000. which he received some
time ago, in preparing the plans for the
work to be done along the Brooklyn shore
adjacent TO F'latbush. These plans have
been so far advanced that he will he able
to start the work OF Improvement imme-
diately upon the availability Of the ST.
100000 appropriated some time ago.
The construction of the Pennsylvania
Long Island Railroad belt line for freight.
which has made the lands south of Flat
bush already available for factory sites, Is
a further inducement for the city to
hasten the Jamaica Bay improvement.
The railroad facilities thus provided for
freight the promise of the early construc-
ton of the Utica avenue subway on the
assessment plan and the building activity
between Flatbush and Jamaica Bay make
the Jamaica Bay Improvement ~more I'M
perative, as there is already demand for
dockage facilities owing to the rapid
growth of Brooklyn in this direction.
The great increase in the population of
Brooklyn, as shown by the census. has
directed the attention of the fire and life
insurance companies to this section of the
borough, and they are inviting conserva-
tive mortgage loans on both vacant and
unimproved property.
