ter strips fifty-six feet 1t Is proposed
to reduce these center strips from fifty
six feet to thirty-eight feet, which will
widen the roadways from twenty-seven
to thirty-six feet. leaving the sidewalks
at their present width OF fifteen feet.
This Improvement IL one of the many
important projects which have been
proposed by President Miller as the re-
suit of several conferences held by him
last January with representatives OF
the Fifth Avenue Association and large
property interests In this section OF the
city. Although the city possesses sew
eral great avenues for traffic north
and south, the great bulk OF this traf-
fic Is using Fifth avenue and Park
avenue, and Il has been apparent for
some time that relief from the serious
traffic congestion on Park avenue north
as well as south of the Grand Central
terminal could be achieved only through
the widening OF these roadways.
Traffic congestion at the entrance to
the viaduct on Park avenue at Fortieth
street has already been greatly reserved
by cutting down tho park space eigh-
teen feet between Thirty-ninth and
Fortieth streets. thereby widening the
roadways on either side from twenty
seven to thirtysix feet.
The Commissioner OF Parks, who has
Jurisdiction over the Handicapped park
strips above Flftieth street, was re-
quested by the board to cooperate with
President Miller in carrying out this
Improvement. The question of meeting
a portion OF the expense involved In
the paving Of that part of the road

this area was referred by the Board

Borough President Authorized
to Negotiate With New York
Central Railroad.

Borough President Julius Miller was
authorized by the Board OF Estimate
and Apportlonment at its meeting on
July 10 TO negotiate with the New York
Central Railroad Company as to terms
and conditions in carrying out the pro-
posed widening of Park avenue from
Forty-fifth to Fifty-sixth street. The
entire width Of Park avenue between
Forty-fifth and Fifty-sixth street is
supported on the New York Central
Railroad structure and Is a part of Il.
and the contemplated changes In the
Park avenue roadways will therefore
affect the railroad structure, and will
probably have to be made by the rail-
road company or under Its supervision.
The general plan for the widening Of
the roadway on Park avenue. which
was submitted by Borough President
Miller to the Board OF Estimate in
May. calls for the slicing off OF nine
feet on either side of the park strips
to accommodate the great increase in
traffic on that avenue. The present
roadways are twenty-seven feet wide,

According to j. Clarence Davies, real
estate dealer of 522 Willis avenue near
the junction of Third avenue and l49th
street, "the building of new apartments
in The Bronx Is still going on at brisk
rate and has had tendency to lower
their rentals to an average OF $l4
room, where $22 to $25 a-room was paid
q year or so ago. There Is more de-
mand, however, for apartments renting
from 50 to $12 a ROOM but they can be
had only in the older buildings. Hun
dreds of moderate priced one and two
fsmily dwellings have been erected In
the last six months In the northeastern
section of the borough, mostly by pur-
chasers of lots at recent auction sales.
The demand by investors for income
properties Is very good. Sales OF that
class of property are being made IN All
hections of the borough. Within the last
month several manufacturing sites have
been sold for immediate Improvement.
