.Iven 80 the publlc of the determinatlon of the

gliore Road Commlsalon to begin work at an

jgrly day on the flne parkway that Is to run

glong the Boy and Narrows, between Bay RidgeBid Fort Hamilton.The apei'lflcations for the work have been

grawn under the supervlson of Olmsted.Olmsted & Ellot, the well-known landacapeajchltects. and in a few days lt ls expected that

proposals artll he advertised f->r. Thta announoe-

icent cannot fai! to he of Interest to all the peo¬

ple of Brooklyn. who are aware l>y thla time that

one of the flnest dtivea on the contlnent is to be

oonstructed Blong three miles or more of the

Prav.kiyn woter fronl At tho beglnnlng the

r..ad will he eompleted for only part of the fullwidth determlned on near the n. rthern end. as

a gaed deal of flUing in will be requlred thereon the water side of the drive.

THE NAME AGREED ON.

There has been BOntB discussion among themembers of the Oommlaaloa aa to the best name

to be given to the dlive they are going to make..v ::rst it BBBBbelleved that no better name thatthat af Bay lUdge Parkway could be found. butwhen that nair..- had been praetioally agreed on

lt was BBBxnrered that the Eecislature. ln Its

supreme wladom, had bestowed that titl-- on

Peventj-fifth-st., and BO, of course. it was outof the qur-s:. n t appropriace it for the new

drive. rurthei inslderatton led to the conclu-aion that th.-re would i>e BPeclal proprtety in

aoJherk.g to 1 oame, the ph re Road, bywhich this blghway has l>ng beon known.The BOPBlar name haa therefore been decided

on; lt aiready ai pears on the lampp. sts alongthe road. and no change in that reepect will b»

required There wutild l»e some advantages lnthe BBB Of the word parkway, as applied to a

boulevard compiislng n<>t only a drive, but rows

of trees. graasplots and a br.iad path fr.r blcy-cles. but as a niatter of fact the word "park¬way" has been applied in Brooklyn to some

roads that are not parkways strictly speaking,and it was believed by the Commissioners that"road" menlfied aU that parkway would on-

note. while at the same time it possesses terse-ness and conserves the designation that hasU-on employed fmm time immemorialThe Commlaelon has reeently decided that it

wou'd be advlsable to have a b-gal adviser ofIts own, Instead of dependlng on the ofTlee ofCorporation Counsel Burr, and has accnrdingly

..¦1 a well-known member of the bar, Rob-

Btt D Renedlct. to act In that capacity.WHAT PRESIDF.NT KENNEDY SAYB.
