adopted al a meeting of the directors of the Long Island Traction ("ompany ou May 12.
The idea of the extension is lo give the Traction Couipany, which operates jars through .Mineola, Ilempst'ead, Freeport, Rockville Cenire, Oceanside and Baldwin and other points west, an opportunity to tran.sfer passengers lo a station of the elevated liue, that is being constructed along Liberty ave- I nue from the city liue to Lefferts ave- jiue, Morris Park. According to lbt proposed plan, the cars after dis¬ charging passengers at the station of the elevated line which will probably be located at Ocean avenue, will pro¬ ceed along Liberty avenue west to City line. The .N'ew York and Long Island Trucllon Company will return east along Us owu tracks. 1
