Rose Terrace Is
Not to Be Paved
Works Board So Decides on
Company's Request.

At the u of Louis Schlesinger,
appearing for the Union Building Com
pany, the Board of Works yesterday
afternoon decided not to pave Rose
terrace.
Schuyler b. Jackson and others pro-
tested against the paving of Yves
Kinney street. Protests were made
against the paving of Elizabeth ave.
nue. from Renner avenue to the city
line with granite block. Commissions
Ryan made a motion to lay over the
paving of Newark street until next
year. The motion was passed. This
was lone at the request of property
owners on the street.
H. l.. Haussman for the Atha Tool
Company asked that the board post
pone the paving Of Albert avenue.
Commissioner Denman said that the
cost of maintenance of the street as
it Is now was heavy and would be
eliminated il the street were paved.
He thought that the property owners
ought to pay this cost. Mr.. Haussman
said that he saw no objection to the
Plan and arrangements will be made
to draw up a satisfactory contract.
The West End improvement Asso-
citation, represented by Charles H.
Waag, Charles Demar and others,
asked that Nineteenth street be given
a storm sewer before 1t is paved. They
were informed thai the surface water
would be taken care of by sewers in
other streets. These men also opposed
the purchase Of land to be added to
West Side Park as recommended by
the Building Department.
William P. O'Rourke Is anxious that
land near this park, which Is not suit
able for building purposes, be pur-
chased SO as to make 1t impossible for
speculative builders to erect unsafe
houses. The plan, 1t is said, is favored
by the park commission.
The board gave Chief Engineer Sher-
rerd the right to supervise the plans
n specifications for the Third Ward
bathhouse which is to cost $685. 600.
Commissioner Ryan, thought that the
cost was too much but Mr.. Sherrerd
explained that although 10000 could
be saved it would be at the expense
of the building. There Will be 100 bath
units.
The board accepted the offer of the
Franklin Iron Company for 405 acres
in the watershed for which the COM
pany asks 500 an acre and LOG acres
of mineral rights at SIS per acre. The
land is near the Canistear Reservoir.
In finance committee the board de-
cided that 1t WOULD ask that the Hollo-
way bill, appropriating 500, 900 for park
extension, be increased to $3.50, 900, SO
that 1t would be sufficient to take in
the streets necessary to the extension
of West Side Park. as recommended by
Superintendent of Buildings O'Rourke.
A resolution vas passed to ask the
Utilities Board to order tn "Pennsy''
to ere.. safeguards at the Bigelow
street crossing Of the West Newark
branch.

City to Oppose
Six Track Bill
Board of Works Takes Action
Protesting Plan.

An effort will be made by the Board
of Works to prevent the passage of the
Leavitt six railroad bill by the
Legislature. At the meeting yesterday
afternoon Commissioner Kraemer
made a motion to put the board on
record as disappearing such legisla-
ton.
Chief Engineer Morris R. Sherrerd
said that the bill would practically
wipe OF Railroad avenue by giving
the "Pennsy" an extra sixty feet of
right Of way. Mr.. Sherrerd thought
that legislation of this sort was harm
full and that If the bill has a chance
of passing 1t oaght to be amended so
that the railroad must furnish substi-
tute streets n pay heavy damages.
DR.. Kraemer's motion was as fol-
lows:
Moved, that this board indicates its
disapproval of Senate bill No. 40. which
provides that railroads may condemn
for an additional fifty feet Of right of
way whenever in the Judgment of the
board of directors of such railroads it
shall be deemed necessary for I'M
railroad to have such additional width
of right Of way, for the reason that
said bill does not protect the mu-
inequalities through which the railroads
may run, nor does 1t provide any
method by which any public streets
that may be included within said adj
ditional fifty feet shall be relocated
and also because it would seem to give
the States power of eminent domain
to the railroad companies to take and
use public streets for railroad pur-
poses ever without providing for va
cation of the same by municipalities.
which has long been the only method
by which streets may be abandoned or
used for railroad purposes, and be it
further moved,
THAT the clerk of this board be and
he is hereby directed to notify the
chairman of the Senate committee on
railroads and canals Of the action Of
his board in the matter"
