To Widen Middle Neck Road.

New York, 1895

Application has been made to Judge Garretson for permission to widen the Middle Neck road at great Neck. The object is to secure the appointment of a commission to decide from whom the land shall be taken, and fix the indemnity. The widening is necessary, if an electric railroad is to be built along the road. Twombley & Eldert have begun the work of macadamizing this road, and the proposition is to put the rails on the side of the road so they will not interfere with the improvement.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 28, 1895, p. 1.
