Posted by Joe on Sat Jul 11 08:55:20 2015, in response to Bx11, 170th Street Crosstown, posted by Joe on Wed Jul 8 19:13:38 2015. Sometimes the Google search machine comes up with a surprise. In this case, I need to create a link below to a 600+ page free e-book from books.google.com, a scan of New York Court of Appeals Records and Briefs. I wish the title were more specific, as it is a transcript of court arguments regarding a mortgage suit involving the routes of Surface Transportation Company in The Bronx. Buried in the pages are lists and histories of Bronx routes and route proposals. Part of the problem seems to be that the franchises awarded Surface in late 1927 may have expired in 1937. This suit takes place in 1938 or 1939, and Victor McQuestion is grilled on bus franchise history. Into the mix seems to be Mayor LaGuardia's insistence that Surface bus franchises include a promise to remove TARS streetcars in five or ten years, or else the bus franchise gets lost! No, I have not comprehended the 600 pages of the law suit before the NY Court of Appeals.The link to this free ebook is --- The text includes a reference to Capwood Transportation Company operating Route 25 on Crosby and Layton Aves. and also Bronx Coach Company operating Route 26 on the Buhre Avenue and Country Club Line. |
