Fifth Avenue Now Claims a Thought
New York city planners weigh threats to Fifth Avenue development as tall apartment blocks rise north of Fifty-ninth Street. The Board of Estimate may ban further construction there while removing the Arch of Jewels and other war decorations. Pedestrian traffic rules proposed would curb jaywalking and give police full control of crossings. Also reported are a cave man-style abduction case in Flatbush and a West Side wife-beating arrest illustrating crime and social tensions.
