The cost of actual construction of the originally planned improvement was estimated at $3.250.000. Today's announcement added another chapter to the already lengthy saga of Park Ave.

which began when the Navy Department condemned Wallabout Market, paying $4.000.000 for the property, and Mr. Cashmore had a local law passed earmarking that amount of money for roadbuilding and the quisition of land for such work in Brooklyn. Part of Vast Road Plan Plans were drawn for a depressed highway along Park with service roads north and south of it and overpasses to carry cross-street traffic above it. And then a cloud appeared in the sky. This was 1n the form of a protest.

through counsel, of the owners of the building at 27 Steuben St. which had been one of many condemned to make way for the highway. The protest was carried from one public official to another, through the City Planning Commission and finally the Board of Estimate, without success. WPR Asked to Intervene When this had happened and bids had been asked for the work of demolishing the buildings. Mr.

Cashmore was notified that the War Production Board had been asked by the building owners to revoke the A1J priority issued to Brooklyn for the purchase of the steel and other critical materials which would be needed. Mr. Cashmore. accompanied by Mr. Farley as his engineering consultant and A representative of Park Commissioner Robert Moses, who also was deeply concerned with the improvement as an important link in the city's parkway system, then started a series of treks to Washington, consulting with various officials of the War Production Board.

Maverick Takes the Stage Maury Maverick, one -time colleague of Mayor LaGuardia in Congress, now in the WPB. was sent to Brooklyn to report on the necessity for the improvement, and following his visit Mr. Cashmore was told the WPB had decided to withdraw the priority order. His opinion was not shared by another group of Washington men sent here following other visits to the Capital by Mr. Cashmore.

These were representatives of the U. S. Public Roads Administration who reported that if they were asked to say the road was vital to our war effort their answer would be no, but that if it was needed to speed up work at the Navy Yard their answer would be yes. Still steadfast in his statement that the improvement was needed for the benefit of the Navy Yard, Rear Admiral Edward P. Marquand, commandant, wrote favorably of the substitute plan.

A bid for $104.000 to demolish the buildings needed for the site has been accepted by Brooklyn from the Lew Morris Demolition Co. of 41-50 22d Long Island City. Condemnation proceedings have been completed for acquisition of the property needed by Supreme Court Justice Lockwood on all parcels except two. that at 27 Steuben St. and that of the Wallace Candy in Park Ave, WEATHER Intermittent light rains ritn light or moderate winds without much change in temperature.
