WILL NOT WIDEN
S5TH ST. JUST NOW
Borough President Withdraws
Application After Hearing
Much Opposition.

Borough President Miller has decided
to withdraw the application for the
widening of the roadway of Thirty-fifth
street between Park and Eighth ave-
nues. His decision followed a hearing
on Wednesday at which strenuous OPP
position developed on the part of the
property owners. the Fifth Avenue AS
ISOLATION and the Women's City Club.
The widening proposition called for the
removal of two feet from each sidewalk
and the shaving off of all parts of the
buildings which encroach beyond the
building line.
The Fifth Avenue Association filed a
memorandum with the Borough Presi-
ent showing that the cost to the prop
erty owners alone would amount to
about s750.0C0. The Women's City Club
pointed out that as the street is re-
stricted to residences between Park and
Madison avenues it was unfair to put
the property owners to the expense of
widening the street for business rea-
sons. Among the other property own
ers who opposed the application were:
Thomas w. Churchill. representing
b. Altman g. Co. as counsel: Messrs.
Straus, Beich & Royer. representing
Best & Co. as counsel; James McCreery
& Co., Oppenheim. Collins 81 Co. Mr..
George II. ButterWorth. clerk OF the
vestry of the Church of the Holy Incar-
nation: Mr.. Edmund l.. Baylies. repre-
senting J. r. Morgan & Co. as counsel
and the Hotel Collingwood. Among the
organizations opposing. besides the Fifth
Avenue Association. were the Murray
Hill Association and the Thirty-fourth
Street Board of Trade.
The Borough President after listening
TO all the arguments, said it is generally
agreed by all in position To observe
that certain streets in the Borough of
Manhattan are not wide enough to
carry the traffic at the present time
and that the widening of roadways
generally has reduced congestion and
made the widened streets more desir-
able for the movement of traffic. yet in
view Of the great amount of opposition
and the cost to the property owners at
this time he would withdraw the appli-
cation.

standing among his stricken plants,
had the idea OF planting asparagus
among the rows.
Three years later when they had
come to maturity. he was able TO send
to the Paris markets asparagus OF u
size and succulence that astounded
and delighter the gourmets. The old
peasant had endowed mankind with a
new pleasure.
Next year all his neighbors were
pulling up their vines and planting

though the place is now a big railway
