CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Says It Should \Have Con- sulted Commission on Isle of Safety. While the Chamber of Commercs has been working to secure an isle of safety and a differerent system of passenger distribution at Central Park it is understood that the work | has been useless as President E. Humphrey of the board of publm works has reccived assurances from Superintendent Beardsley of the Con- necticut company that the company will follow any suggestion the board makes. In official circles there is a disposi- tion to criticize the Chamber of Com- merce for what is considered in- terfering with the work of the city government. The board of public works believes it to be one of their functions to dispose of the isle of and passenger distribution problem. “We .do not believe the Chamber | of Commerce had any right to go ! the address. | men’s Christian association, DEDICATION OF NEW | Y.

It would be a big mistake to erect a permanent isle of safety south of Central Park. The street may pe needed some day for other purposes and it would be necessary to tear up the safety zone. If a permanent isle of safety were constructed it would mean considerable extra labor should it be found necessary to make re- pairs to any of the pipes laid in the street. We would be satisfied with an isle built of rope with iron standards. This could be moved tu any point where it would be needed.” President Humphrey said the Con- | necticut company had practically agreed to discharge passengers seav of Central park instead of south of the park.
