Mayor Sees Delay of West Side Plan
Mayor Mitchel and city officials warn the Ottinger bill delays the West Side improvement project, eliminating grade elimination of New York Central Railroad tracks from Tenth Avenue. They fear four years of city railroad negotiations were lost, plans for terminals and warehouses halted, and public safety at risk. The Board of Estimate will act under the new law, but settlement prospects are deemed unlikely for years.
