Julius Miller

Julius Miller

Julius Miller (1880-1955) was a Manhattan Borough President from 1922 to 1930, who is best remembered for pushing through the West Side Elevated Highway from 72nd Street to the tip of Manhattan.

Among his other accomplishments was pushing through the construction of the Park Avenue ramp through New York Central Building and around Grand Central Terminal, the establishment of the center strip on Park Avenue, and initiated plans to replace the Sixth Avenue elevated train.

He was a member of New York State Senate, 1919-20; borough president of Manhattan, New York, 1922-30; alternate delegate to the 1924 Democratic National Convention; Justice of the New York Supreme Court 1st District, 1933-50. As a judge Miller claimed to the distinction of never having been reversed by an appellate court on any of the cases in equity where he decided suits without a jury. This was believed to be unique among New York jurists.

In 1930, Mr. Miller received The Hundred Year Association of New York's Gold Medal Award "in recognition of outstanding contributions to the City of New York."
