(International) Third Avenue 'El' To Make Final Run Up East Side of Manhattan Next Month New York (U.R) The third Avenue "El" will make a final run up the east side of Man hattan next month and continue right on into oblivion. Or . to the scrap pile, to be more exact. The elevated rail way, built in 1878 and the sole survivor of its species in Man hattan, will go down under the acetylene torch just as the Ninth, Sixth and Second Avenue Els went down before. Subways and buses have taken their place. Nostalgic railroad fans have arranged to take a ceremonious last ride on the Third Avenue line next Sunday. A special train will take them on the 28 mile round trip from the Bronx to City Hall and back. Daily serv ice on the line will be discon tinued April 15. Built To Clear Streets So ends the 75 year history of the elevated railway as a means of rapid transit in Manhattan. The Els were built in the 1870's and 80s to get trains -off the Ellsworth Will Attend Lookout Dam Dedication Washington (U.R) Rep. Har ris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) today said he planned to attend Lookout Point Dam dedication ceremon ies June 25. The 89,000,000 dam on the north fork of the Willamette river 24 miles south east of. Eugene, Ore., w.as built by the Corps of Engineers. streets of the growing metro polis. The first trains were pulled by steam locomotives. The Els was accepted as an ugly but prac tical part of city life, although carriage and wagon drivers complained about hot coals dropping from above. 'The elevated railroad," said a guidebook of 1893, "is the crowning achievement in solv ing the problems of rapid tran sit." ' Electric power replaced steam around the turn of the century, but already there was talk of putting the trains underground. "Preposterous!" said financier Russell Sage in 1900. "New York people will never go into a hole in the ground to ride." End of an Era But they did, and still do, and the Transit Authority takes the view that those who still use the Third Avenue El can go by sub way or bus without too much in convenience. The El has been losing money for years. Razing of the El will mean the end of an era on Third Ave nue. Long gloomy crannies of the bowery will be bathed in sunlight. Real estate values al ready have started to rise along the avenue that had become best known for its pawn shops and derelicts. The El's pounding rhythms have been written into musical scores, and its roar, or a reason able facsimile, has drowned out the cries of innumerable murder victims in perf6rmances of the drama "Sorry, Wrong Number." Looks like they'll have to rewrite that script.
