In the Matter of the Proposed Laying Out of a New Street Known as Trotting Course Lane across the Right of Way of the Rockaway Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road Company at Glendale, Borough of Queens. Long Island Rail Road Company, Appellant; City of New York, Respondent.

Determination confirmed, with costs. No opinion. Lewis, P. J., Johnston, Sneed and Wenzel, JJ., concur; Adel, J., dissents and votes to reverse and set aside the determination on the ground that, upon the conceded facts, section 90 of the Railroad Law does not apply.
