Side of Manhattan was brought step
nearer yesterday when the Public Ser

was explained, TO avoid tracks at grade.
The action was taken under the terms
Of the Ottinger law. which places the
power to pass upon the city's long
standing West Side problem in the
jurisdiction of the commission.

mean the immediate removal of street

the plans have been drawn it will be
necessary TO enforce the orders of the
commission upon the New York Cen
trial Railroad, whose officials have
threatened court proceedings to pre-
vent interference with its tracks and
right Of way.
