C N'ye. superintendent of the street dc- I partment, that the street grade at the Intersection of Jefferson avenue and I Twenty-ncventh street will not be reduced, re-duced, the board of directors of his company has decided to lay the roadbed road-bed for the Twenty-seventh street car line extension over Jefferson ave- nue at the time tho paving is done there. The company had desired to build the Twenty-seventh street extension over that street direct from Washington Wash-ington avenue, but the present grade Is such as to make it quite Impossible to operate cars over that route, so the only route left for the extension, I says Manager Kline, is over the Jefferson Jef-ferson avenue froom Twenty-fifth to Twenty-seventh street. Grading for paving is now being done on the avenue, and the Transit j company will be prepared to build its roadbed when paving begins The road will be of standard structure, and the surface will be of asphalt Commissioner Nye stated this morning that concrete surtace used on Washington avenue north from Twenty-second street, and which will be used on Lincoln avenue between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Streets, would not be permitted on Jefferson avenue, because of the petl- I tion of so many property owners that i the roadbed would be of the samel material as the balance of the street i paving oo |
