Bru guarantee against Ins in llicir opera-linn?" asked Thomas E. Clark. "That i correct." replied Mr. Hediey. "We do not feel that xvp should undertake to run these lines without sinh a guarantee." Mr.

Qiutckenlinsli then took the burden from Mr. Hediey shoulders. His explanations were coin-bed in teihnical terms of hname. He statist that, iu addition to absorbing less of the utvs capital and saving about Stkl.iSsi.iKSi to the my iu i oustructiou. the couxtrmtmn of all branches of the proposed improvements would oonimeqee at the same time, permitting them to haiidle traffic about three years sooner than the Brooklyn Rapid Transit could do it.

He admitted that the cost of the subway a would be practically the same whether the B. R. T. or the Intergornugh should build them, but pleaded that the fart that the inter-horuughs management of tbe present subway, had been so successful, coupled with tlie fact that it already possessed a route through tbe tube, should make it clear in the minds of tbe listeners that it was better fitted tp operate the proposed subways. Mr.

Hediey said that the Fourth avenue subwav, which is now under construction as far as Forty-third street, will never be a paying proposition unless tlie spurs to Coney Island and Fort Hamilton are built. The company that tries to operate a subway only aa far as Forty-third street is certain to go bankrupt. he said. But if the extensions are built I have no doubt that the line will be a paying one. After the conference several of the persons present expressed the opinion that the civic organizations of Brooklyn, the majority of whom have already gone on record as favoring the Brooklyn Rnpid Transit offer, will not recede in any way from their position.

All these were wiped out. At tlie mniu entrance ti Dreamland was the building devoted for years to a -pectmle called Creation, one of tlie best known and largest structures of its kind ill the resort. There is nothing left of that but a few girders and a distorted mass of machinery used in the spectacle. East of this was Pike's Peak, one of tlie sharpest nnd most popular rides in Surf avenue. Between tlie two was a large saloon called the C'rention Cafe, lacking these tip in a few seconds, the fire progressed east along the avenue through tlie Whirlwind ride, opened last season, cleaning out the smaller structures in the rear and leaving no trace of them, until it had eaten its way through into Buhner's bathing pavilion, one of the oldest in Coney Island.

The chief purpose of the meeting was to find out what the meant by its statement in advertisements that it is prepared to invest some of its "money in subway extensions to Coney Island.

Fort Hamilton, Flatbush. Brownsville ami AVilliaimiborg. Upon the publication of this advertisement the members tlie Brooklyn Transit Conference asked the Interborough to geud some of its officials to clear their minds on tlie sttl-joet. The civic workers of the borough bad been led "to believe that tbe Inter-borough was willing 'to operate certain" of these extensions, they were built entirely with eity money' and tbe cotnpattv gttardnteed against This understanding "of the companys was found to be correct, after much questioning -on the part of those present." Manager Hediey and Attorney Qnack-eubush, of the Interborough, were, in turn, bombarded with questions Ths latter seemed to have a clear add concise understanding of the financial workings of tho new offer, ami, with Ihe-ald of maps, he Vxplained at length the purpose of the Interborough.

With the exception of one of the glided and a few minor buildings of Dreamland, all the great attractions are either gone or badly charred. The park waa opened to the pnblie on Saturday, May 5, 1004.

It was declared an arefiiteetural triumph. Dreamland was planned and built by a syndicate headed by former Senator William H. Reynold. Tlie site waa formerly a part of the John Y. MeKane estate, which hud been sold at public auction for $447,000.

The property, which hus a frontage of about -b- feet on Surf avenue and sweeps back nearly a thousand feet to the ocean, was disposed of in two parcels, and the ostensible buyers were Mrs. C. Turnbull, of Borough Park, and P. I. Thompson, of the Realty Buyers.

It developed later that the reicl purchaser was former Senator Reynolds, who was ut the head "of a syndidrnte which hit upon the Idea of securing the land and transforming It into a pleasure garden. The property, according to local real estate operators, was then worth at lenst $50tk000, end Mr. Reynolds was prepared to pay that sum for it; but by the simple method of having representatives compete with him in the bidding he managed to secure the plot for more than $50,000 less than he figured on. On the opening dny more than 100,000 persona visited Dreamland and marveled at its wonders. They saw rising 400 feet above the sea level a massive tower the land mark of Dreamland lighted from foundation to summit by incandescent lights, ao that it could he seen fifty miles out at sea.

Two elevators carried visitors to the top, where a magnificent view of the ocean could he had. Bostock combined with the Dreamland management, and his united shows of both this country and Europe were mobilized in Dreamland. Another attraction was Chilkoot Pass, which might be called the Human Bagatelle Board." It was an immense incline, with smoll obstacles at intervals, against which persons sliding down the pass" were thrown and diverted from their course, dropping finally into a pocket at the bottom.

Four-een persons were seriously injured, but lives were lost. The fire was of an ncendiary origin, starting in a photo-raphic gallery.

Property owners and business men who iffered in the fire to-day expressed the dnlon that the ruined district would on be reconstructed. Samuel Gumperts, general manager of Dreamland, said believed that a new Dreamland would built, but was not absolutely certain. "The old Dreamland ia gone.

I am ly the general manager, and of course nnot say whet will be done, but I am rtaln that a new amusement park will built.

The1 most spectacular sight during the fire was the destruction of the great tower which stood high shove the lagoon in the middle of Dreamland.

Shortly after 3 oclock tlie tower was seen to timver, and then, with crashing roar aim a great cloud of red and yellow flame, it collapsed!

5 Commlssion Denies Railroad Application. The Public Service Cdmmisaioo to-day denied the application of the Long Island Railroad Company for. permission to change location of its, Ozone Park station to one of two points, respectively. 1,200 feet and feet south of tlie present location. Thi( action wag taiicfi npon an opinion by Commissioner Edward M.

Bassett, who conducted the hearing en the application. The Ozone Park stntiotTls located on the line of the New York and Rockaway Beach Railroad Company, leased and operated by the Long Island Railroad Company. The station is 0.3 of a mile south of Voodhaven Junction, of a mile south and east of Woodhaveu station and 1.3 miles north of Aqueduct station. Trains from Rockaway Beach pass Ozone Park station en route to Long Island City and Manhattan, nnd also en route to Flatbush avenue station, Brooklyn, those bound for the latter point being switched off just north of the station. The new location proposed by the company, the Commissioner finds, would not remove the etation a sufficient distance to the south fo affect materially the spacing of'the stations, as Ozone Park station would be a half-mile- south, of Wood-haven Junction and more than a mile north of Aqueduct atation.

Present condition! are better served by the present location, but If the building tip of the section to the south should in the future warrant the removal of the station, then, the Commissioner points out, it should be removed to a point much further south than is contemplated (n the company's application. To effect such removal at the present time, however, would work a great hardship upon the population now using tho atation. 1 NEtr YORK SUPREME COURT. KINGS County. Henry Keygasa.
