VOLUME 46 NO. 16,103,_ FIFTEEN MINUTES TO NEWARK A year ago it was “Fifteen min- utes to Harlem.” To-day a promise of fifteen minutes to Newark is} held out by the incorporation of the Ini Tunnel Railroad Company, a McDonald project. By means of a tunnel extending | from Twelfth and Erie streets in) Jersey City to terminus on Chambers street, near the Brook- lyn Bridge entrance, the Metropoli- tan trolley system, with its 520) miles of trackage, wil! be brought in close connection with the lines of ‘he Public Service Company, 550 miles in length, It is the confident | Prediction of the projectors that the road will carry passengers from the Cty Hall in Manhattan to Jersey City in five minutes and to Newark in | ten minutes more. Incidentally the tunnel will provide the Erie with an | under-river entrance to New York such as the McAdoo tunnels are to furnish the Pennsylvania and the Lackawanna. Within a few years at furthest New Jersey will be linked to New York by five submarine roadways in addition to a ferry service, which in the numter, size, speed and commodiousness of its boats marks an | extraordinary development of river transportation. It helps to the comprehension of what “Fifteen minutes to Newark” \\ ‘will mean to remember that that city by the census of 1900 had 46,000 More inhabitants than the Bronx. In that part of Manhattan above Central Park, including Harlem and together with the Bronx, there were by the census of the same year | only 650,000 people as against 1,078,097 in the New Jersey counties of | Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, ex and Union, which the new tunnels will | put in close touch with Manhattan. These “commuting counties” are virtually a part of the metropoli- tan district. Their interests are here, they find their amusements here and they figure largely in the city’s trade. When a resident of Newark an reach the shopping or the theatre centre of Manhattan in thirty min- utes he will be as near the heart of New York as the dweller in the Bronx. When the Jersey commuter can find within a few blocks of his office the fast motor train which is to take him to his suburban home, as will soon be feasible, the transit problem will have been solved for him. For that section of the metropolitan area to the east the outlock is | almost equally promising. The progress made on the so-called Steinway tunnel at Forty-second street and arrested by the city only for the pur- pose of establishing its just rights in a valuable franchise, and the project Of the Manhattan and Long Island Railroad Company to build an eighty-mile electric road from Long Island City to Northport, points to guick intercommunication in the near future between Manhattan and Long Island. By the time the Long Island Railroad’s tunnel is completed | most of its suburban lines will have been electrified. On two the in- Stallation of electricity has already been made. There is in Prospect also a double-track electric road from the terminus of the Blackwell's Island Bridge to Little Neck in Queens. By September of next year the New ork Central will have installed electricity on its main line to Croton and to White Plains on the Harlem division. | For the dweller on the outskirts of the Metropolitan area there is Coming 2 transit millennium for which he will be duly grateful.

One and all, they deny the {mpeachment of their own sex and retort that men excel women in meanness as much as they fancy they do In other qualities more estimable. Certainly, a more aggravated case of meanness could not be found than that related by the Jersey City girl. And yet, I have no doubt that it has been duplicated in the experience of almost every New York girl. There are not very many mean men, But when a man is meen he can Invent more kinds of meanness in a minute than a whole congress of penurious women could | éevise in a month. | A very beautiful Now Vork girl told me the other day of an experience similar to, though less harrowing than, that of the Jersey girl. “You know ——," she said of a young man whose income cannot be | Under $5,000 a year. “He asked me to lunch with him just b e ho started on a hunting trip. He didn’t ask me what I would bave, but ordered three French chop: know how small they are—and some potato salad. It | Bave me great pleasure to eat the second one when he offered it to me as @ | preliminary to taking {t himself. He capped the climax by ‘paying for the |1unch with change.

The younc man explained that | he always took a lot of chocolate along on his trips to eat when he got | hungry in the woods and asked me to go with him while he bought it. I | consented, and he took me into the finest confectionery in town and had two pounds of chocolate slabs wrapped up for himself and didn’t buy me so much as a gumdrop or an ice-cream soda.” We all have similar experiences with stingy men tucked away some+ where, and they certainly tend to prove man’s predominant meanness. a Letters from the People, Studjes in Public Schools.
