for the conmiss ION has decided that
under the present contracts the Inter

cept the proposition
Chief Engineer Craven reported that
an extension OF the Corona line over
the Long Islands tracks 10 Wthtestone
and Little Neck can be effected at
total expenditure Of &2.45o.ooo. Including
a city expenditure OF $4,000. II such
