Certainly not another car ling could be accommodated to run through that part of Fulton street, Therefore, it is absolutely nec- essary to open and provide some new avenue or street for the constant in- rease of travel to the bridge. The out- lying wurde and annexed districts will soon be occupied by a large population who will demand better facilities for travel; that question is fact confronts us how. “How can it best be met? Which ts the most practicable and fearible plan? Examine the map of Brooklyn and you will find that the terminus of the Bridge is in direct line with F' h avenue, and the extension of ¢ nue will make an ea most practicable approa: ridge and will relleve the already overcrowded condition of Fulton street. “Brooklyn is anxious for and should agcure the surplua population of New York. Therefore, it must offer induce- ments and proper facilities of travel to the breadwinner to locate his family here. We can furnish him with a house at a moderate price; yes, 1 be- Meve cheaper than in any ‘other large city in this country. What we need most is quick, safe and direct tranait, and if we can furnish that we will re- gelve the overflow of population of New ‘ork. “The expense for the exte: bush avenue will not be fiv millions of dollars, a upon a careful hardly exceed wi luced, “Within six months the new terminal buildings will be finished, thereby doub- ling the capacity of the Bridge railway, which will relieve the crowded condition of the Bridgé during the busy hours and attract more people to our city. ————9 = SMASH-UP IN BROOKLYN.
