New York, 1895
F. W. Dunton, in speaking of the Kings, Queens and Suffolk county bicycle railroad, said that there are over two thousand subscribers to the stock of this railroad on Long Island; that the necessary $200,000 out of the $600,000 to the capital stock has been subscribed and that work will begin at once. Mr. Dunton added: "The contract for the construction of the first division of the road from the terminus of the Kings County Elevated road to the terminus of the city line along Liberty avenue, thence southwest to Far Rockaway, will be signed Tuesday or Wednesday."
