OPPOSED TO SUBWAY PLAN
Brooklynites Find Fault with the
Fourth Avenue Provision.

Resolutions Of protest against the report
Of the McAneny committee on subways
were adopted last night at mass meeting
held I'm Prospect Hall, in Brooklyn. under
Tho auspices of the West End Board of
Trade and various other organizations OF
the district The fault found with the re-
port was that ii did not provide for an IN
dercround extension Of the Fourth avenue
subway to Fort Hamilton and Coney Island.
The meeting was attended by about five
hundred people. among whom were many
apparently strongly stimulated toward the
lnterhorough offer. Literature describing
what the Interborough would do for Brook
yn, and particularly South Brooklyn, was
profusely distributed, and James l.. Quack-
enhusl. general counsel for the INTERIOR
ough. told the applaudlng audience that his
comuany's offer was the best ever made,
despite the fact that the McAneny commit
tee, the servants and not masters OF the
people" as he said, had practically de-
clded 10 follow the idea Of division Of ter
ritorv between the two transit companies.
The appeals 10 the people themselves
made by the Interborough during the last
TWO weeks Mr. Quackenbush said. were
dictated by the companys anxiety to save
the city from the monumental mistake OF
saddns IL with two systems Of rapid tran
sit. Formerly the Interborough was salts
fed in dealing with the men whom the
people had authorized as their representa-
tiyes, lie explained. but recently the COM
pany concluded that issues were being be-
fudded and that II was ito duty 10 come
forward and lay the true facts before the
people.
He ended by painting In glowing words
what great and undeserved advantages the
report gave to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company and asked the citizens OF South
Brooklyn 10 combine I'm an energetic effort
70 try and get all they have been asking for
in regard to subways before the report IS
definitely adopted
