TOT? CITY IS 1'TJOKD
The Hoard of K-dlmata opened yes
terday nerlc of hearings on the pro
posed plan of Improvement for the West
Nble by listening In those, who oppose,
certain feature of tho nirrccmont ns It
has been tentatively arranccd by th
board's committee on port and terminal
facilities and the New York Central nail
road Company. Most of the time yester
day was devoted to tho objections of a
number of civic orKanlintlons that have
taken up the study of this particular
problem.
Argument of counsel centred chiefly
about tho ucrecnicnt as It affects the
proposed enlarged frclRht yard between
.i3 and 133 streets, nnd the plans for
the railroad south of Klfty-nlnth street.
It was contended with respect to these
feature of the plan that the city had
not cone far enough, becauso no arrange
ment had been made for the roofing over
of the entire freight yard and the loca
tion of a park thereon and also because
thr was no guarantee that the New
York llertral. under the present ar
rangement, would not eventually secuie
an unbreakable monopoly of the facili
ties for freight distribution In the com
mercial section of the West Side.
Outlines Objections.
Miles St. Dawson, Stanley R, Isaacs
and Julius Henry Cohen appeared In be
h.ilf of the civic organizations that have
acted together In studying the West tilde
ultuatlon for the tast three years. The
oiganlzatlons represented Include the
f'lty Club. Citizen' t'nlon Women's
Municipal League, Independent Club of
the Upper West Mile. Washington
Heights Tax. payers Association, Hudson
Oulld and Greenwich Settlement.
Outlining the position to be taken In
detailed argument by his associates. Sir.
Pawson said that the first objection to
the plan was that It was not In harmony
with chapter "77 of the laws of 1911,
under which the West Side Improvement
vins authorized, and he Instanced the
fact that, while tho law provided for a
tunnel under the llatleni ship canal, the
piopoed agreqmcnt provided for a rail
road bridge. He was Informed by Comp
troller Prcndergast that the legal fea
tures of the plan had been thoroughly
Investigated and that the committee was
convinced that the law referred to rals.ee!
no obstacles to the arrangement.
Mr. Dawson said the ohjectlon to tho
agreement In the matter of the freight
ard at 135th street wa that no pro
vision ivas made for covering the entire
freight yard. He thought the contract,
jet to be made with the railroad, should
make entirely clear the city's right to
roof over and cover nil f the tracks,
so that the West Side would not be con
fronted with a metal roofing on which
there was no earth. He said the agree
ment should go further than that and
bind tbe cltv to cover the traikt. and to
l'icato on this great roof a park or play
giound. He said that It wa not Im
possible to operate a frelsht yard under
ground and that unless a covered
freight xarrt were stipulated there, would
be no assurance against a nuisance that
might bo permanent.
Wnnln Tlili-k CnverlnR of Knrth.
As for the general scheme of cmering
the main lino tracks of the railroad, ho
silil that the contour of the covering
should be considered. Ho thought that
the structure should carry at least four
aid one half ffet of earth and that it
should be of such strength when llrst
put In that tbe railroad could at no
future time raise the objection to an
adequate depth or earth that the strel
substructure would not hear the addi
tional weight.
Coming to the stretch below Thirtieth
st.eet Jlr. I (aw son said that reiious
consideration should be given to the
question of interference with a possible
underground sxstem of freight distribu
tion, lie pointed out that tho purchase
by the lullroad of a new right of w.iv,
with its adjoining waiohnucs, might
forte other railroads cither to cross
over the Central's tracks or to go under
neath them, and he thoiiR'it their right to
do this should be conserved, as otherwise
thcte might be no fnlght distribution
north or Canal street that was not
monopolized by th I'enttal, He char
acterized tills Improvement aH only a
part of a general scheme of Increasing
terminal facilities n ,rtt yr ,.Uy 11Md
he thought the railroad rnnipanv ought
to be willing lo .Meld something toward
that end. In his opinion the rlaht of
other roads to live the tracks should he
delhiltely ct forth in the contract.
Still another suggestion wan that the
agreement did not go far enough In pin.
vldlng tor passengfr traffic down tbe
West Side. lie thought sue, provision
tor pa-senger service should be made
even down to Can.il street.
Thinks Oiiitnainii Mriniee,
Stanley J. Isaacs, elaborating the ar
gument of Mr. Dawson, said that he
thought It stiaiige that no provision had
been made for making a park above the
covered tracks or the flight yard at
Until street while such provision for
park treatment had htcu niadu else
where along the hue.
Comptroller I'rendergast said that
this was because there was now no pari:
at that point and because the location of
ono there was a matter for th city
to decide llldcpendciitlv or tile present
ngieenient with the railroad
Mr. Isaacs declaied that while the
rommltlcn'H report made it appear that
the coeiiug of the nuilii tracks would
screen the freight yard, audi was not
the case, because only the covering of
the enllin yard would sum- that section
fioni tho blight of a railroad yard. e
in god thai no agreement be made that
left out such a coveilng.
Mr. Cohen argued that the stc! sub
structure which Is in carry the onver
, lug of earth over the trackii should bo,
made lo harmonize, with the topograph
leal fealuics at nn glen point. In
other words that the substructure should
not be unlfoiin. but should he Increased
In strength at those points where It
appeared likely that a greater depth of
earth, either for paik purposes or merelv
for the sake of properly rounding nut
tho covering, would be required, He
thought that at some points the sub.
Htructuro should be Htrotur ennneh to
carry six or seven reel of earth."
In tho matter of the Central's: nionop
Oly, suggested that while the plans
show n marginal way rlwrward of tho
Central's tracks, the railroad owns two
or threo pieces of properly that would
effectually block a marginal way,
Seen Hunger of Monopoly,
He urged that tho railroad be forced
to agree to sell these Interfering prop,
crlles lo th" city. Ho saw nolhlng In
tho plans, he said, to Indicate that
provision had been made for trackage
for other mads south of Klfty-nlnlh
utreet, and ho said ho feared the city
would some day wake up In Hie fact
that a monopoly had been created.

City Club objected totho nlaniifor cart).

log to set Walle's trial foi Slay 15,
One day this week, Thursday or Fri
day probably, there Is going to he some
real fim on Shelter Island, On that day
the State game wardens will try lo iap
turn the deer reprieved from death by
Conservation Commissions Pratt, but
still so annoying to tlie estate owners
and gardeners nf the little Island.
Myron Cameron, division chief nf the
Adlroudacks, who was sent to Shelter
Island last Salutday by Commissioner
Pratt to make arrangements for a great
battue, and who suddenly tecelved or
ders from the Commissioner that the
deer must be spared, will be In charge
of the meiclfiil drive. He will have
tvventy.nve game wardens fiom the
Adliondarks and tho Catskllls as help
ers.
"I have covered Shelter Island thor
oughly slnrn last Thursday," said Chief
Cameron yesterday In tho Hotel Wyan
dank, tlreenport. "I find that the pe
culiarities of the Island It Is very li
regular In outline, with many points
Jutting nut to the bajs and narrow necks
of land connecting these points with
the mainland of the Island give ux a
chance at least to build a big corral
on Slashonmck Point Into which the deer
may he driven,
To nnllil Fannel Pointed Corrnl,
"Sly plan Is to build a corral of wire,
triangular shaped, with the apex, open
like a funnel, pointing landward and
more or less disguised by trees and
brush, and the base resting on the sea,
'leaders' of timber, a fence ten feet
high, and too high for the deer to Jump,
will lead to the opening, The whole
scheme will bs to make th deer think,
when they ate Iovvly driven toward
Slashomack Point, that they are en
terlng a close wooded refuge.
"I have counted about loo der al
ready, but 1 know thete must be more.
Most of them are on the Nichols estate
In tlie southern part of the island, and
tliat will make It easy for us to drive
them to Mashomark Point. To-day a
man telephoned me from the Nichols
place that lie had Just s-en twenty-one
deer In a bunch
"Vou wonder maybe how so many
deer can find protection and hiding in
such a small Island. There Is more
room than one would think. The Nich
ols estate alone contains fi.onn acre?
and iikki nf t is t.ttlicr heavilc wooded.
"All we are waiting for is our supplv
of wlie and lumber. nir men are here
and tickled to death beiause they don't
have tn shout tlie deer Pcisnnall , I
have shni Just two deer in five years
and I hope I hfver have to shoot
anothi'i This Job will be a mixture
of bald work and good fun and I believe
we can save most of the deer
"Some may break llnir legs or necks
in vvll efforts m fsiapi and in that cic
ihey will have tn lie shot None or the
d'fs ha4 betonie a mothrr as jet aid si
vvi will not have the extra pioblem or
r.uvns to deal with. The lawns mil
not ionic along apparently until nbont
June. They arrive late In this sec
tion All or the Shelter Island deer
are in fine rond'tion, I nctlce.
Will Drive llnck M limners.
"Slany deer will take to the water1
when tliev ate driven into the corral ,
To provide against that we will ' t i v.
men in boats to turn them back to
land."
Tlie Coiiserv at. on Commission hi no
monev to devote to capturing the deer
aid transferring them 'n the d 'ni -d.ii
ks nr to 7onlngleal gardens, but
Commissioner Pratt Is going ahead with
the Job on the assurance of sjsjrtMnen
and game associations that mopiy w.ll
be la's.d 1 subscription
"It is my flist dutv to protect the
rights nf tile Shelter Island farmers.''
said CiunniVMohcr Pratt in Allianv vrs. I
terd.iy. "I shall try to save the deer,

For Men
There is no time of the year when a man
appreciates as clearly the significance of good
clothes, as he does in the Spring. We are all
influenced by our environment; and when the
trees put on new green leaves and the gardens
glow. with flowers, he is an odd man who doesn't
feel the influence of it all, and turn his thoughts
to new clothes.
It is one thing to desire good clothes. It i9
quite another thing to get them.
The London Shop Realizes the Desires

arbiter of men's fashions as Paris is of
women's. Some of the things are made in Lon
don; some in the United States; some in France;
some in Italy; some in other countries. The
place of manufacture signifies little; the char
acter of the merchandise matters much.
