They depreciate property values," he said. Howard O. Wood, president of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce, declared the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce is well satisfied w-lth the subway route to Jamaica, as now approved, to go under Queens blvd. and Hillside ave. and hoped that construction would be pushed to the limit.

Hotchner Favors Plan. 1 Maurice Hotchner, counsel for the Long Island Commuters Association, who had battled the Long Island Railroad'6 petition to abandon the Whitestone Landing spur, in commenting on the proposed extension of the Roosevelt ave. subway line from Main Flushing, to Bayside, Whitestone and College Point, declared "To my mind the subway extension will only increase the use of the Long Island Railroad. It will build up the section and add to the rail road's psssengers. The two lines will not conflict, since they will serve different sections of the communities they tap.

"Yet the new trsnslt plans cannot affect the status of the case of the petition for abandonment of the Whitestone Landing branch of the railroad for two reasons. They are: First, the case is closed with briefs from both sides presented snd awaiting decision from the Interstate Commerce Commission; and. secondly, these subway plans are merely tentative ond may be al tered considerably before becoming effective."

SCHQO CHARGES TO Le Boutlllier Aid Says Plan for Sale Has Not Advanced in ,6 Months. While reports were being circu lated in Queens today of negotia tions having been reopened be tween the city and the Long Island Railroad for the purchase of the Rockaway Beach division for use as a rapid transit line, Charles Richardson, secretary to Geosge Le Boutillier, vice president of the Long Island, denied that negotia tions had progressed any further than they were six months ago.

The Long Island Rialroad. he said, has always taken the position that it would be willing to sell the line to the city for rapid transit purposes, but there have been no negotiations as to price or conditions beyond what they were more than six months ago. Informally Discussed. At the Board of Transportation it was explained that the purchase of the line has been informally dis cussed in meetings of the Board, but no move has been made to negotiate with the railroad. The informal discussions, it was said indicate that the purchase by the City hinge on the cost of acquiring the line and equipping it for rapid transit operation as compared with the cost of building a parallel line such as is proposed in the recently announced subway construction program.

Engineering studies to determine both these figures are now being made, it was said. If the line is bought it was re ported last night, it would be sub stituted for about $61,000,000 worth or routes mapped out in the con struction program. Although the railroad has been unofficially reported as willing to surrender the Rockaway division for $11,000,000, the Board of Transpor tation is adding to this sum the cost of some 27 grade crossing elimina' tions between Arverne and Rock' away Park which have been ordered eliminated by the Transit Commission. There are several other grade crossings on the line scheduled to go The grade crossing cost has been put at approximately $12,000,000 by the Transit commisison. In the event that the city decides to purchase the line, it was pointed out.

it would have to stand the entire crossing elimination cost, whereas If the crossing removals are under' taken by the railroad, the city's share will be orfly one percent, while the State would pay 49 percent and tne railroad the remaining 50. Routes That Would Go. Among the proposed new routes which would be abandoned if the city took over the railroad line are Myrtle ave. line from Palmetto ave. to 78th Olendale the 88th, 69th and Hawtree st.

line from 78th st. to Hammels Ststlon the Rockaway Beach blvd. line and the Newport ave. line, as well as a short stretch of the proposed No strand ave. extension.

City transportation officials believe that the Long Island, in view of the grade crossing orders and ths pros pect of competition from city-owned routes operating st a S-cent fare will be willing to sell for a lower price than they demanded two years ago. Civic associations In Queens have Joined with Boro President Harvey in urging that early transit relief be afforded the Rockaway section oy talcing advantage of the rail road's desire to sell its lines serving mat territory.
