The plan provides for the tapping of the tunnel and the establishment herein of a station under the mid-river recreation pier. The connection between the tunnel and the pier, it 1s proposed, shall consist of two water- Ught elevator shafts, by means of which passengers can be lifted from the mid-river tunnel station and landet on the floor of the mid-river recreation pier, and vice versa. To the objection that the Government might refuse its consent to the erection of such a structure on the ground that {t would interfere with navigation, the suggester replies by calling attention to the proposed loca- tion of the pier. It is, hé contends, out of the way of navigation; in fact, in a spot which all river pilots do their best to avoid, and that the pler would really for this reason serve as a shoal beacon for a!l river and craft Other specifications for, as well as the cost of, the proposed improve- Write for Mustrated Catalogue ASPERFELD LEVELAN ESTABLISHED 1. 144 Buin, nd and Br wowery Bank Spring Investments Those who received their inter est or dividends on January 1st cannot do better than to inves: such funds in Diamonds.
