Grand Central Boulevard
It now looks as tfaoogfa tfae proposed Central Boulevard through Long Isl¬ and, planned to be a part of tbe State Highway System, under the last fifty million dollar bond appropriation, would be an accomplished fact.
There is a strong and energetic com¬ mittee behind the movement and Kings, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk men are all pulling together. Such men as Frederick Boyd Stevenson, of tfae Brooklyn Eagle; F. G. Hieka, Tfaomas W. Albertson and H. F. HoaCt- ner, of Nassaa, and Dr. William H. Ross, George T. Reeve, jr., H. A. Brown. Frederick L. Terry, Jofan Bag- ahaw, William H. Winters, Ezra A. Tattle, B. B. Wood, J. Evans Crane, Carll S. Burr, jr., Joseph Bailey and others, of Suffolk, aro not of the kind wbo having put tbeir handa to tbe plow, torn back. Tbey do not know what the word fail means.
At a meeting beld at Riverhead Toesday afternoon it waa decided to adopt the central route, continuing through the coanty a short diatance north of the Long Island Railroad, and parallel to it, as far as Riverhead. This was a wiae decision. The State is already bailding north side and soatb side roads, aa a part of Route No. 85, and wbat ia now needed ia a broad, im¬ proved boulevard throagh the middle of the Island, ai direct route, tying to¬ gether the county aeata and opening up a broad expanae of territory tbat bas hitherto remained practically un¬ touched by the hand of progress.
It will he tapped by several import¬ ant cross-Island highways, county and town, and tbua will be accessible to all sections. It will be the main art¬ ery from the Eaat River to Mon taok and Orient Points, it being planned tb have an extension along botb tfae north and sontfa forka of tfae east end of tbe Island.
Tbe faigfaway ahoald be well graded, bailt of bitulitfaic cement and well drained. Rowa of afaade treea ahould be set out on botb aides for its entire length, and it woold, if tbos liberally and wisely treated in design and con¬ struction, dignify all Long Island and form a fitting entrance to tbe metrop- olia of tba Weatem World from tbe eaat, and woaM boeoma no famoaa all over tba eoontty, aa wan the Appian Way tfaiougb tfae Roman Empire naar- ly two thooaaDd yaara ago.
