zone of the most satisfactory ac-
complishments of the whole year" says
the executive secretary, in his annual
report of the work of the association,
has been the final settlement of the
situation at Park av. and Gath ST., in
way that involves the minimum of
expense aud has harmonized the hith-
erto divergent views as to how the
problem should be treated. All parties
concerned have come to an agreement,
and the plans are now before the Board
OF Estimate for adoption.
There Is to be no change of grade
at Park av. and saith St, and no lower
Ing of streetcar tracks in the tunnel.
There Is to be a ramp construction on
the east side of Park av., next TO the
armory, wide enough for three traffic
units, and the ramp left on the west
side wide enough for four traffic units.
Fourth av. will be raised for its entire
width from 32d st. north TO 33d St, so
as TO permit the latter street to be
used for crosstown traffic"
The recommendation Of the Commits
sion on Building Districts and Re
strictions in its preliminary report to
the Board of Estimate Is referred TO
as an event Of even greater Importance.
The report recommends that the
whole of Murray Hill be made an ex-
clusively residential section, 10 the ex-
clusion Of all business, from Madison
Avenue on the west side to Third Ave-
nue. on the east, and from Thirty
fifth Street on the south to Fortieth
Street on the north"
The report of the secretary of the
association further says: at is in
teresting to note that the Districting
Commission, in their preliminary
plans, decided that the Heckscher
property, on the west side Of Madi-
son Avenue, at Thirty-eighth Street,
was in a residential district, and that
the whole OF the west side of Madi-
son Avenue from Thirty-ffth to Forti-
eth Street ought to have been restrict
ed against business, as well as manu-
featuring of every kind. While the
passage Of any municipal restrictions
will come too late to affect the cree
ton Of this loft building, the associ-
alton is still hopeful that an injunc-
tion will be secured in the suit
brought by some Of its members to
enforce the Murray Hill restrictions,
the case now being before the Court
of Appeals"
