The following appeal for the establishment of a commercial high school for girls in the central part of the city has beep forwarded to the Board of Education: "The undersigned parents residing in the territory north and south of Fulton street and extending from about Eastern Parkway to Myrtle avenue, again petition you for a commercial high school for girls, to be located somewhere in said territory.

"To representations which were made to your board over year ago, no tangible answer has yet been received, save recommendation in the report of the City Superintendent for 1014, urging the immediate opening of such a school "While ample provision has been made for the business training of boys, nothing has been attempted for the similar training of the thousands of girls in this section. Your neglect in this respect is flagrant. We know several widows with three or four daughters, who have reduced themselves to the direst extremities of want in order to provide out of their scanty means a business training for their girls. Not only are these, but we, ourselves, who have girls, are, compelled to pay not only for the education of boys belonging to others, but also for the pri'vate education of our girls in many business schools which are springing up with a mushroom-like growth in this section, to provide for the wants to which your board is so singularly "Our children are now being graduated and yet normove has been made on your part to supply the school, which we confidently hoped would be in readiness for this fall. There are several structures on Fulton street, near Bedford avenue, which could with small expense be fitted up for such a school, while the new building was undergoing construction, "WILLIAM H.

Engineers WIll Begin to Tear Up Central Roadway of Boulevard In Two Weeks. The Eastern Parkway subway is to be built by the open-cut method of construction. means that the wide have to while all the engineercentral roadway, on the boulevard will ing work there is carried on beneath the open sky. The Intercontinental Construction Company, which has the contract for the first section of the line from Prospect Park up to Nostrand avenue, is planning to build a temporary railroad alongside of the cut to carry away the excavated material, which ch it is estimated will total about 600,000 cubic yards. Two giant steam shovels and an excavator are already on their way here and the contractors expect they can be put in place on the parkway before the end of next week.

This means that actual work will be under way within the next two weeks. News that all this work is to be carried on above ground came as a surprise to people along the parkway, who supposed the double-decked four-track tube would be built by the customary method used along Flatbush avenue and elsewhere in the city. Inquiry at the Public Service Commission, however, disclosed the fact that the contracts specifically permit this type of work. Chief Engineer Edwards of the Intercontinental Company dented that any inconvenience would be caused residents or travelers along the parkway. He said there was plenty of 'room for all the vehicular traffic on the two outer roadways.

There was some fear expressed that the railroad along the side of the roadway or possibly the huge steam shovels might endanger some of the beautiful eld trees, to save which the subway there was changed into a double structure. That the parkway would, at the very best, be transformed into a noisy giant workshop was generally admitted. According to the contract as let by the Public Service Commission, the two blocks from the park entrance up to Washington avenue must be built by the cut-and-over method. From that point on up the parkway, the open cut method will be used. It is required, however, that a plank crossing be constructed, at all the cross-streets so as not to interfere with crossing traffe, The tube in the mile-long section of the Intercontinental Company will be all the way from 35 to feet deep.

The company expects It will have to use a force of about 300 men to get the work completed in the 22 months specified in the contract. Delays in actually starting have been due to difficulty in getting the machinery to the scene of operations and conforming with the necessary red tape to get permission to go ahead with this type of work. The company's application before the Public Service Commission for a permit to operate the railroad on the side of the center roadway has not yet been acted upon. New Brooklyn Companies.
