At Nb Extra Cost you get these fine Ice-Box Pishes if you buy a genuine nationally advertised It was made plain in a letter sent by the L. I. K. R. to the Union Course Civic Association, and read at a meeting of the body in Public School Rockaway road, Monday night, that if the company ia granted an increase In fare It win use none of this money, to depress the tracks In Atlantic avenue.

Irving Albert, who has been fighting persistently for depressing the tracks, says the only way la to have local legislators introduce a bill sim ilar to the Karle-Baum bill and stand uncompromisingly behind It. The letter from the company was read I by Mr. Albert. "I am satisfied, Mr. Albert continued, "that the $300,000,000 bond Issue plan for the elimination of grade crossings, and which will be voted upon by the public this fall, will not affect the Atlantic avenue situation.

As the letter from the. railroad points out, the conditions do not apply to the elevated portions of the line, where there are no grade crossings. On the other hand, the statement that the depression would be 'Improvement and wasteful' is so ridiculous as to make comment un necessary. Let's start the ball roll ing anew, and refuse to be satisfied with such compromises as the bond issue plan, which merely side tracked our preposition." The letters referred to follow: Samuol Rea, President of the L. I.

CITY COUNCIL PLAN IS APPROVEDBY ALEX MERK The plan of the Jamaica Board of Trade for a civic council that win act as sort of a clearing house for the civic organizations of the Fourth Ward of Queens County, is endorsed by Alexander Merk, alert head of the Clarencevllle Board of Trade of Rich mond Hill. Here Is what he has to say about the proposition: "The general civic council Idea as announced by the Jamaica Board of Trade is something which to my mfnd has been needed for a long time by this district. I wonder If any other similar area In the United States has as rapidly as the section around Jamaica has in the last few years? "Places that only five years ago were open fields are now the sites of blocks, of substantial homes.

Naturally, city improvements have not i kept pace with private building operations. Every one of these new sections needs many things. To begin with, there is a need for Improved transit facilities that is pathetic. The folks who have move! into these seotlons are for the most part young people, usually those recently married. The husband has his business in Manhattan or Brook lyn and commutes.

If these young men are going to attain success In their careers they must have ade quate transit facilities for reaching their business In the morning and returning hams at night And all these sections have other needs, such as trunk sewers, trunk highways and so forth. I wish the Jamaica Board of Trade success In Its efforts to organize a general civic ASST. DJST.

This Is particularly Important for Queens Borough, for It will greatly expand In the next four years. This will mean an added burden on the administrative office of the borough. "Some criticisms of borough officials are heard on account of lack of Im provements, but people should realize the scope of the Improvements neces sary in Queens.

All moneys for lm provements must come from the Board of Estimate. Borough President Con nolly has got more money for Improve ments than the borough Is entitled to.

The test mony vss given Jast week at a hearing before the Transit Commission on the application of the Richmond Hill Board of Trade, urging that the improvement be made at once. An expert subject came up when William A. counsel for the Board of Trade, sought to get from Mann his opinion of the feasibility of operating some, electric trains that now pass Kew Gardens without stopping via the Montauk and Glendale, with a stop at Richmond Hill. Mann said his opinion was It could be done and that the delay wouldn't be over one-half to a min ute and a half. A.

A. Gardner, counsel for the railroad, insisted this subject was one for expert testimony anyway, so Jones proceeded to show that Mann had had -some experience. "You were a president of a railroad once?" he asked. "Yes, the Sea Beach Railroad." "Where did that operate?" "Sixty-fifth street, Bay Ridge, to cqney Island." "When were you president?" "1895 to 1897." Then Mann explained that the road was about eight miles long, had six or eight locomotives, and sometimes carried as many as 100,000 people a day. Gardner objected to all this.

Viola Lack, after which all Joined In. Music was 'furnished by" th Miami of Atlantic avenue improvement Act. and for the tracks, which are still on the surface, would cost upwards of 150,000,000. The I. R.

R. Co. could not undertake to carry out such a change. And this Is true whether or not the plan for a. grade crossing bond Issue becomes a law, and whether or not commutation rates are increased.

"(a) As to borrowing money from the State. In the first place, assuming the people should adopt the constitutional amendment authorizing State loans, it is extremely doubtful whether, as a practical matter, the railroad companies could borrow from the State. The loans would have to be secured by liens upon the railroad properties, and how that could be accomplished without impairing the existing mortgage liens has not, up to the present time, been pointed out. In the second place, assuming that 'such loans were authorised and as a practical matter could be made, the Long Island Railroad Company would be no better able to meet the annual Interest payments and sinking fund requirements on money borrowed from the State than it would be if it borrowed the moneytejse-where. In the third place, no part of the proposed $300,000,000 bond Issue could be used for taking down an elevated structure which carries railroad tracks where there are no grade crossings and building In lieu thereof a subway for the tracks.

The specified purpose of the bond issue is to further the elimination of grade crossings. Obviously, It could not be used for another purpose. "(b) As to the increase in commutation rates. The existing grade crossings along Atlantic avenue can be eliminated by elevating the tracks at a cost of about $10,000,000 This is the only plan which is economically sound and financially possible. Any other plan would be Im provident and wasteful.

Neither the revenues from commutation rates nor any other revenues of the company from whatsoever source de rived ought td be used In furtherance of an Improvident and wasteful un dertakin?" Following the dircusslon on the track depression matter, the association voted to approve the plan of the Jamaica Board of Trade for the establishment of a civic council.
