Between SO and 40 buildings still remain In the line of the new Rockaway Boardwalk and will have to be condemned before the actual construction of the walk between Beach 109th st. and Beach 81st et This may delay the start of construction until next April, according to Bert Decker, of the firm of Mucclnl Decker, which was recently awarded the contract for the boardwalk. It was stated at the company's office this morning that the firm had known of the en'roachment ever since the contract awarded, but had supposed that ke buildings had been condemned tvid were awaiting removal.

Only yesterday were the contractors Informed that the buildings had not been codnemned. Civic Leaders Upset neavs gave civic leaders In the Rockaways a severe Jolt They had supposed that the boardwalk construction would be started shortly after Labor Day, for the contractors had stated that they would begin work as soon as the crowds had left the beach. Plans are now being made to rush the condemnation proceedings as fast as possible. Most of the buildings in the line of the boardwalk are small stands and stores, but there are sveral structures of considerable size, including one small hotel and two bathing pavilions, all of frame construction. The legal red tape that must be unwound before the buildings can be condemned is considerable and It will be several months before the- buildings can be advertised for sale.

Then, If there are no buyers they will have to be demolished. This will require additional as money must be appropriated for the purpose. Rockaway people have been led to believe that the boardwalk would be compelted from Beach 109th st where it would Join the present Rockaway Park Boardwalk, to Beach 81st st by next summer. If the work Is not started until April there Is every prospect that the construction work will be carried through next summer unless the contractors see fit to shut down during the busy season. How the- buildings escaped the notice of the Rockaway civic workers and officials of the city is unknown, but the Rockaway people intend to exert every effort to cut down the length of the delay which now looms ominously.
