> LOWS BRIDGE TRAFIC PLAN (Wants Municipality to Acquire Property Lying Between Cen- tre and Duane Streets and Park Row for Terminal Uses. {CITY BUILDING OVERHEAD. Rallroad Presidents Agree with Him and Bridge Commissioner Is In- str ted to Draw Tentative Plans "for Future Consideration. Mayor Low has) an enterprising plan for the relief of congested traffic at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge. ‘He recently held a conference with Messrs. Vreeland, of the Metropolitan; Skit, of the Manhattan; Winter, of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and Deyo, vf the Subway company. Bridge Commis- sioner Lindentha! and Chief Engineer Parsons were also present. It was the Unanimous opinion that it would be good Judgment for the city to acquire the four triangles bounded by Centre street, Patk Row and Duane street, one of which triangles and part of another the “city already owns, and to develop the space thus acquired for the much-need- ed terminal uses below ground, on the surface and overhead. OMce Building for City. ‘a Over these railroad stations, the Mayor says in a communication read at the meeting of the Board of Estimate to-day, there should be erected a mod- em office building for ctty departments. so Such a structure, he adds, would face Park Row and would earn for the city at least 4 per cent. on the cost of the land and building. The representatives of the various railroad companies with whom the Mayor conferred expreased their willing- ness to pay the alty an equitable rental for all facilities that might be made ayeeabie to them. The Mayor's letter "1 ask you, also, to consider the eligible situation of such a building. ‘The clty offices would, of course, begin on the fourth floor, and would be reached, by elevators, trom the subway station below ground, from the surface, and from the elevated stations over- head. ‘The railroads converging at this point, if present plans are carried out, .
