COMMUNICATIONS File No. 45352. September 8, 1917. In response to resolution file No. 45179, requesting a report on the advisability and feasibility of utilizing the space on the site of the new convention hall for temporary garage purposes, I beg to inform you that the contract for the excavation of 70 per cent of the entire area has been let and will begin on Monday, September 10th, 1917. While the present contractor who is installing the drainage sewer will require sufficient space for executing his work, additional space will be needed by the excavating contractor and likewise space must be allowed the steel and foundation contractors for the operation of their work. This latter work is expected to begin within a few months. Considering the conditions that will exist there within the nexe few weeks, it will be seen that every available foot of space will be taken up for the operation and progress of the work. Respectfully submitted, Received. File No. 45353. September 8, 1917.

In addition to the above main line crossings there are spur tracks, side tracks or branch lines, in which the obligation for the city to assume part of the cost is questionable, or the obligation is entirely upon the railroad company. These are estimated to cost as follows: B. & O. Railroad. C. T. & V. railroad. New York Central Rail- Total .. $ 600,000.00 800,000.00 500.000.00 700,000.00 1,150,000.00 2,250,000.00 200,000.00 .$6,200,000.00 From the above report it can be seen that the total number of railroad crossings now existing at the grade of intersecting streets, and not provided for by legislation which the city council has already enacted, is ninety, and estimated to cost $19,700,000.00. The exact proportion which the city must bear in this total amount cannot be definitely established at this time, as in connection with such work the railroad company has certain obligations under existing franchises. Approximately, however, the city's portion of the cost can be taken as 35 per cent of the total, which amounts to $6,895,000.00. The city may also find that it is obligated to assume part of the cost of the work herein estimated under the heading of "spur or branch tracks." The amount of such obligation also cannot well be established at present. Respectfully submitted, ALEX BERNSTEIN, September 10, 1917. In compliance with council resolution No. 44626, in which you ask me to advise you what lands have been purchased for the relocation of streets incidental to the elimination of grade crossings along the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway between Fulton rd. and Detroit ave. and in which authority for such purchase has not yet been given by the city council, I beg to state that the following properties have been purchased: Parcel of land for street between W. 40th st. and W. 41st st.
