and leave the keys in the Crane Co.

to determine our rights there and we
won. The Crane Co. made an. agree

In closing, Attorney Garfield urged
the aldermen not to consider the Pc
tition. Josiah Butler also opposed the
petition. F.
| Phillip L. Ho1zer said the park
board was preparing to fill an area as
be a mistake ITO grant the petition.
Attorney Harry Lyon urged that the
proposed extension of Atlantic street
would not compensate for taking
South avenue and he urged that the
petitioners be given leave to with
draw.

first meeting in March.

railroad (which the manufacturers of
the East End were allowed to estab-
| 1ish through the efforts of former
Mayor Mu1vfhin He said it was for
the benefit of all that aEnfable rela-
tions be maintained between manufac-
turers and the people.
Attorney Charles Stuart Garfield,
vice president of the park board, In
Opposing the petition, said in part:
ct am a little surprised at the tactics
| Of this company. It would have been
very easy to have had a conference
before the meeting. But after seeing
what great opposition has developed
to their plan and after gathering here
a large number Of citizens opposed to
it, they blandly ask you to, postpone
the matter for a month.
ST thought this matter settled long
ago. Now this company comes here
and asks you to give up q half mile
of street, to say nothing OF a large
part of the dyke, which the late P. IT
Barnum built at his own expense and
which he always allowed the people
to use as highway.
Seven years ago, when Henry Lee

246 murders in New York during the

Such opposition developed last night
to the Crane Co.'S petition to close
South avenue from Iranistan avenue
to Barnum dyke, a distance of nearly
half a mile, and Barnum dyke from
South avenue to Waldemere avenue,
e distances of 40 feet, that it is doubt
full if the common council will grant
the petition.
Nevertheless, the project seems to
have friends among the adrninistra-
ton. When Albert E. Macdonald,
purchasing agent for the Crane Co.,
who alone appeared for the petition,
found there was SO much opposition
he asked that the hearing be contin-
ued for three weeks. Those who ap-
the postponenent of the hearing but
when all had been heard Alderman
MacFayden moved that the request of
Mr.. Macdonald be granted. By a vote
of IA to 8 the aldermen postponed the
hearing.
Only one Democrat, Frank J. Clam
cy, voted for the postponement. The
other Democrats voted against it and
four Republicans, Aldermen Lewis
Renchi, Tierney and Roder voted with
them.
Alderman William P. Corr of the
Second district was first on his feet
opposing the resolution to. postpone.
He said many of his constituents had
asked him to oppose the plan to close
the street.
George M. Eanes, president of the
park board, said his board was unan-
in1ously opposed to the granting of
the Crane Co. petition. He SAID:
This is the only road over which
heavy trucks may go kto carry filing
to the waste lands on the west side of
the park. West of zthe dyke which
BarnuIn built is, a large area we are
trying to reclaim for park purposes"
He said .some& time ago the Crane
Co. came with a similar petition and
offered to give in exchange a right of
way from Atlantic street through to
the dyke so that bathers might use
this street in getting to the public
bath houses. Mr.. Warner, then a
member of the board, had a. plan to
have street cars run through Atlantic
street and ito the bath houses but the
plan was finally abandoned.
1--WE have received many courtesies
from the Crane Co.. said President
Eanes. sqThey are now giving US I'LL
for a cent a yard, which they might
use for their own land but they have
agreed with US that it is better to let
the park be filed first
Mr.. Games said that South avenue
we discovered that the company had
placed a fence and, gate at South ave-

pie crossed.

ENGLAND MAY REDUCE
