Brooklyn Transit
Problem Will Be
Decided Tuesday
Rival Factions TO BE Heard
by Estimate Board Last
Time on Ashland Place
Fulton Subway Plans

Proponents Of Brooklyn's rival rapid
transit plans for the Ashland Place
connection and the four-track Fulton
Street subway, will clash probably the
last time before the Board of Estimate
at City Hall, Manhattan. 1920 Tuesday
morning. One Of the plans is now to
be adopted. Accordingly both sides are
preparing to make Il demonstration in
force at this final hearings
The Ashland PLACE plan calls for car
rying the three track al" structure
down Fulton Street to point above
Cumberland Street, rebuilding the
present two-track structure below that
point, with new long stations and n
section Of thrcc-trnck subway from
Cumberland Street to Ashland Plncc.
The rival plan, urged by the Fulton
Street Subway League. AZ against tho
Public Service Commission, which has
fathercd the Ashland Place scheme, is
n four-track trunk line subway up
Fulton Street, with a capacity three
times that of tho present "L"; grant a
franchise for it at once, thus fixing the
future of Old Brooklyn and the terri
tory to the cast, and provide for an
annual Appropriation Of $1,500,00O for
it's construction. 1t is claimed this
plan originally was recommended by
Public Service Commission engineers.
One of its great advantages will be the
removal of the Flatbush traffic from
the Brighton line from Fulton Street.
Another will be the granting of trans
fers from the "L" to the subway at
Flatbush Avenue.
A final decision is expected within a
few days after Tuesdays hearing

inventor OF the Jumping jack PERISH
ing made q signal contribution to the
happiness of the upper class men.
The inspiration came to him in the
summer camp of '85, when Pershing
was q cadet captain. He would get
a line OF plebes out in one Of the COM
pany streets. perhaps twenty or thirty
Of them, standing one behind the
other. He had them count on 80 that
each one knew whether he was odd
or even in the line. Then, when
Pershing pulled an imaginary string
in one direction, all the odd plebeS
would have to throw their arms ont
at stiff right angles to their bodies;
when the imaginary string was pnliea
in the opposite direction the edo
men would drop their arms. and the
even men would Jump their legs onk
v fashion. Then the imaginary strinE
wOnld be again pulled In the first
direction. and the legs would jump In
and the arms Jump ont. The piebes.
OF course, had to execute these jump
ing jack maneuvers with absO1mao
military precision. II . tactical on
