2-YEAR-OLD DECISION DUEL. Calvary Cemetery Claim Will Be Decided Soon.
Long Island City, August 10—After waiting more than two years for a decision while the condemnation commissioners have had more than fifty sessions to decide the point, several hundred property owners are to learn soon whether they will have to pay $83,000, an award that the trustees of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Manhattan, owners of Calvary Cemetery, are claiming for the opening of Borden avenue, from Greenpoint avenue to Laurel Hill boulevard, which runs along the northern boundary of the cemetery.
The trustees, although immune from any assessment for the opening proceeding, insist they should receive the award. The commissioners are Frank Entwistle, George W. Pople and William H. Wade.
As soon as the commission decides, Borough President Connolly will take steps to begin the improvement of the street.
