When "Capn" Simmons started out in
the Georgianna with his negro partner

Christmas but when five and six weeks
went by and they did not reappear, old

BrozcnsuiHe Route 4pwoUed
ON Assessment Basis.

Construction of a subway in Brooklyn
from the plaza at Prospect Park to the
Brownsville section by way of the Eastern
Parkway was approved yesterday by the
Public Service Commission. and II was
decided that the cost of this addition to
the rapid transit system of the borough
should be paid by assessments on the prop
erty along the route. Commissioners Will
lam McCarroll who made the report after
hearings had been held. said that the con-
sents of 50 per cent of those who would be
benefited had been received
The approximate cost of the new line will
be 100000. This will be borne in whole
or in part by the property owners, as may
be determined later. OF the assessment
plan Mr.. McCarroll said:
THAT method would open the way TO a
prompt undertaking of construction under
conditions where it would afford a useful
demonstration of the value of the principle
and manner of building under assessment
1t would clear the way of objections which
otherwise might be obstacles II not only
would provide the money necessary for the
construction but also would furnish basis
which would enable the city to make the
most favorable terms for operation"
1t was said yesterday that the property
owners had engaged engineers to examine
the route and make estimates of the cost,
which Will furnish material for conferences
with the commission when the times comes
There will be formal laying out OF rapid
transit route for this line by the latter.
and as soon as this has been done it will

portionment for it's approval. When this
Is received the commission will push for

The new road will be an extension of the
Eastern Parkway route laid down by the
Rapid Transit Commission in 1905 and ap-
proved That route, in turn. connects with
the Flatbush avenue subway, as also laid
down by the Rapid Transit Commission,
and approved. The extension will leave
the Eastern Parkway route at Buffalo ave-
nue. and go by subway through private
property to East 9Sth street, and thence
through East 9Sth street to Livonia ave-
nue.. from which point it will extend as an
elevated line, owing to the low lying nature
of the land. through Livonia avenue to
New Lots Road, which will be the ter
minus.
The foregoing routes, with the one al
ready laid out and approved on F'latbush
avenue from Pacific street to the Prospect
Park plaza will form a continuous line TO
the terminus at New Lots Road. When
completed this system can be connected
with the present Interborough subway or
with the Fourth avenue subway and the
Manhattan Bridge. There are six tracks
in the Flatbush avenue subway, and Mr.
McCarroll recommended that that num-
ber of tracks be laid as far as Nostrand
avenue, and that thence there be four
tracks.
1t is proposed that the elevated part of
the new extension be constructed the
Berlin plan. which is extremely solid, per-
mits of architectural beauty and provides d
roadway so rigid that the clatter on the
structures now in use will be eliminated al
together.

to go, and was about to open Headquarters

held last Friday, Mrs. Mackay expressed her
willingness to see that the lobbying was

Annable alleges in his complaint that it

dispose of the land until after the soul of
Annable had reached heaven. Annable goes
on to say that he was forced to take a trip
South for his health, and that upon his re-

posed of the property. He nafvely ends
his complaint by saying he has ascertained
there is another method to get to heaven,

The remnants OF blizzard
sweeping westward from Montana
reached Rathdrum last Sunday
night, bringing the heaviest fall OF
snow experienced here this winter.
A strong east wind prevailed Sun
day night and Monday, drifting
the snow into heavy banks and
making some of the roads almost
impossible. The temperature
went down to 3 above zero Mon
day morning and to 6 below zero
Tuesday morning. More snow fell
again Tuesday night and Wednes-
day night, making the total OF
about 10 inches of snow since Sun
day. The temperature rose again
SO that some rain fell Wednesday
night, freezing and forming a
slight crust. The indications are
that the snow coming SO late in
the season, will quickly disappear.
