DEFER ACTION ON PROJECT TO CUT THRU CEMETERIES FOR BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
A delegation of rabbis and representatives of Jewish organizations protested to the Board of Estimates against the creation of the Interborough Parkway, connecting Brooklyn and Queens.
They said fifty or more bodies would have to be disinterred in Mr. Carmel Cemetery and as many more in two other Jewish cemeteries.
At the suggestion of Mayor Walker action on the parkway project was deferred for a week so that the rabbis might confer with Borough Presidents Connolly of Queens and Byrne of Brooklyn.
