THE  HERALD SQUARE  PURCHASE.

The Herald Square purchase, reported in the early part of this
week, and at that time embracing only the block front from
34th to 35th st, on the west side of Broadway, seems to grow
as time passes, until it now includes-all of the property on both
streets down to Koster &. Biai's music hail. The best that
can be said of the transaction at present is that some one is try¬
ing to buy up the leases on the property, and one or two of the
lessees say that they have sold their leases. Others, however,
say that they have not been approached, while T. C. H. Pepper,
who has been at Nos. 1319 and 1321 Broadway for twenty-eight
years, and has a lease which has about three years to run, states
that he has not sold bis lease, but has named a price for it.





BRI3GE  no.  2'S  MANHATTAN  APPROACH.

A hearing was held by the local Board of Improvements of the
Eleventh anfl Twelfth Districts, Tuesday, on the proposed ap¬
proach to the new East River Bridge, In Manhattan. President
Nixon favored the continuation of the approach from Norfolk
st, by a diagonal street to Cooper square. A protest against a
diagonal street from the bridge entrance to the Bowery was filed
hy Andrew Lemon, as counsel for a number of property-ownei s.
It was claimed that this approach would add an enormous cost
for the city. President Coogan said after the hearing that the
approach to Cooper square, from the prEsent terminal of the
bridge, as planned, would cost about $20,000,000. The property-
owners favored the widening of Delancey st direct to the Bowery.
Another public hearing will be heii on the matter on Monday,
April 8.





RIVERSIDE    DRIVE     EXTENSICN,

The President of the Board of Public Improvements and the
Commissioner of Highways say they were not consulted before
the bill for the further extension of the Riverside Drive Improve¬
ment to the city line was introduced. There are Indications that,
if passed, the bill will run up against a veto, the Mayor having
placed himself on record as opposed to mandatory legislation.
