JAMAICA TROLLEY PROGRESS. The Ne "York and North Shore at Last Secures a Coveted Strip of Be Grauw Property. Jamaica, L. November 23 A large force of men and teams is at work to day grading down a strip of the DeGrauw property on the west side of Flushing avenue and opposite the Normal School, preparatory to laying the rails of the Nev. York and North Shore Railroad, for the purposes of Its extension between Flushing and Jamaica.

The negotiations for this strip of land, the last link necessary to be acquired In the construction of the proposed lino between the two villages, was completed and the deeds signd yesterday by Mrs. DeGrauw. The strip of land conveyed is between 700 and 800 feet In length and about 50 feet wide at its lower end adjacent to the Shelton lot, tapering to a point at the top of the hill. where the stone gateway affords an entrance to the DeGmaw property. The bank is from 6 to 12 feet high opposite the Normal School, and the railroad company, as a consideration named in the deed, Is to cut down the bank to the full width of 50 feet, set up the retaining wall on the new DeGrauw front: and, after grading down the new strip purchased, to reserve a roadway between the tracks and the DeGrauw property over which the present or any subsequent purchasers are to have an unobstructed right of way.

The company also agrees to open up fifty feet of the cast cide of the Shelton property and to macadamize the whole strip, thus practically doubling the width of Flushing avenue, which is now only do feet across, making it one of the broadest, and handsomest avenues in Jamaica from the top ot the hill down to Hillside avenue. It is expected to have the grades all completed iu about two weeks and it Is promised that the car will be running between Fulton street. Jamaica, and Flushing in three weeks. Mr. DeGrauw during his lifetime was a bitter opponent of the proposed extension of the New York and North Shore trolley line through Jamaica, and declared that as long as he lived lie would never part with a foot of his property to them.

The present representatives ot the estate alleged, however, that they were governed by no such prejudices and would not stand in the way of such a marked Improvement to the village and their own property as the proposed widening of Flushing avenue. OBITUARY LONG ISLAND. John B. Cotte. Baldwins, L.

Sole Agent for the Celebrated Martin Guitars and Mandolins. JACOT SON, 39 Union Square, New York. FIRST WARD IMPROVEMENTS. Proposed Changes in Jjong Island City. "Wider Thoroughfares and More Public Parks Wanted.

(Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. November 23 Chief Engineer Louis A. Risse of the of Fublic Improvements says concerning the failure of the financial authorities of the city to appropriate a special fund of $100,000 for the carrying on of the topographical survey of the Borough of Queens: "I think it a misfortuue that so important a matter should be delayed as this topographical survey of the Borough of Queens, as the completion of the map would require seven or eight years' work with an appropriation of $100,000 per year. It was the Intention of the Board of Fublic Improvements In asking for the above named amount each year for this undertaking to put twenty field and trlangulation parties at work and to push the undertaking right along to completion. The appropriation of between eighty and ninety thousand dollaro made for topographical work in the entire City of New York will merely meet the requirements of our department for surveys in connection with street openings in the city, leaving topographical work entirely out of account.

However, I will keep three field parties at work, two running traverse lines and measuring angles and the other party locating angles. I will also have a monu mentlng party locating monuments in Long Island City and those sections of Newtown In which we are working with the surveying parties. "The more quickly that the city will have the topographical survey of the Borough or QueenB completed, so much the sooner will public and private improvements go ahead and the tide' of' population will set in the direction of what' will be the finest part of the City of New York, instead of going out into New Jersey. The growth of population will quickly add to the assessed valuation of property and the city will receive back in increased taxes, before the work is completed, much more than the survey has cost." Mr. Risse has filed his map, giving a general idea of proposed improvements in the First Ward, Long Island City.

Accompanying it is a report giving in general an idea of what is to be accomplished by the changes. He says in this: Lonff Inland City he.lnp the. gateway through which evuryJjodv must ffo order to reach the interior of Umg Ifdand. attention was Kiven to the laying out of main arteries In or lines, connecting the ferries and the two proposed bridges over the liast Hiver with the main points of interest In Lons Island City and the farther Inland lying districts.

November 2'1 The question of consolidating the Flushing Free Library with the other public libraries of Qikcp.s Hor ough a part of the corporation, to be known as the Public Librar.v, oi the Horough of Queens, is being agitated by the trustees of the local library. This question arose first at the suggestion of Mayor Van and Controller Coler nt the time the Board of Estimate and Apportionment approved the city budget for HtuO. At that time the board appropriated for the Long Island City library, for the Flushing library, for the Richmond Hill library and I0 for the Mollis library. The Mayor and Controller then suggested that the public libraries in this borough be consolidated. The subject of consolidation has been taken up by the trustees of the Long Island City library and Dr.

W. G. Frey. who is president of the board, has sent a circular letter to the trustees of the libraries in Queens Borough, in which the belief is expressed that great advantages would result from a consolidation of all the borough libraries. The letter states that the trustees of the Long Island City library have petitioned the Hoard of Regents to dissolve the charter and grant, a charter establishing a public library for Queens Borough.

If they consent the trustees of the Long Island City library will resign and the library will cease to exist ari a separate and independent institution. It will be supplanted by the public library of Queens Borough, which is to be conducted by fifteen trustees to be appointed by the Mayor from citizens of recognized fitness selected from all parts of the borough. The circular letter issued by Dr. Frey asks the directors of the several libraries to meet and pass resolut ions consent ing to become branches of the proposed borough library, according to the following general provisions: "It is not intended that the present libraries be absorbed into some other library or branch, but that each retain to the fullest possible extent its own Individuality and presenL management; that each library or branch will be fully and adequately represented by its appointed representatives; that the ownership of existing libraries would nominally rest in one head, but no removal of books is contemplated except for purposes of circulation or exchange with other branches." Some of the members of the Flushing library are unalterably opposed to any kind of consolidation. They assert they hav had enough of consolidation and will oppose any alliance whatever.

They will Insist the library be conducted entirely as a local institution for local patrons. There arc other members, however, who strongly favor the proposed plan of consolidation, particularly as it. appears to be the wish of the city authorities that the libraries be consolidated. The Mayor will not appropriate one cent for the local library If his wishes are not carried out. and as the support of th community is not sufficient to keep the library running and up to its standard, the plan of eon scl idatlon is generally considered a feasible one.

I'nder I his arrangement the library will become a department of the city, the same as the charities or highways, and the Beard of Estimate can grant such money ar It thinks proper. Cnder the present arrangement tin' city cannot be compelled to contribute anv money for the maintenance of the local library. LONG ISLANDPERSONALS. M. K.
