It is said that fully 75 per cent, of the employes of the above mentioned establishments live in the Borough of Queens and the closing of the Grand street bridge compelled them to make a detour of several miles to Bushwick station of the Long Island Railroad and other routes to reach their homes, mostly in the vicinity of Maspeth in the Town of Newtown.

Moreover, it added ten cents daily to their fares, a serious burden to the workingman. The direct route over the new Grand street bridge will save to the men at least an hour each way In going to and from their homes. The bridge is not completed yet, but it is thrown open to travelers between the two boroughs from 6 A. M. to 10 P.

The Bridge Department opened the draw to land travel last Friday and operates under a stipulation with the contractors that the latter, will be responsible for it until completed and turned over to the citv, which is Hempstead.

Justice Wright said the lease was of no use whatever if the room was not occupied.

Justice Clowes said that if the buildin? had been occupied at any time since the lease was execuled for court purposes the town was responsible for the rent. Supervisor Cox informed the board that the bill of Mr. Jonas for rent of the place was in charge of the Board of Audit.
