Raa Ess A Ler Ader SNA Sena ae BS Brooklyn-Staten Island Tunnel, $35,000,000 Project, Up Xosebank and Tompkinsville Rivals for the Western Terminus. Mayor Hylan’s approval of the bill tuthorizing the City of New York to vegin the task of building a sub- \queous tunnel from Brooklyn to Staten Island now places the matter n the hands of Gov. Miller for his ‘ignature and the residents and the vusiness folk of Staten Island are xpectantly looking toward Albany or favorable action, According to the proposed plans, aa vorked out by Transit Commissioner fohn H. Delaney, after a survey made by a staff of engineers under Daniel 4 Turner, the tunnel, as shown in he accompanying sketch, may be ocated at either Tompkinsville or at Rosebank. In October, 1919, when the Board of Estimate ‘requested Commissioner Jolaney to advise on the feasibility of auch a project, he submitted sev- ral propositions, ranging from a tun- rel direct from the island to the Bat- to a bridge over the Narrows, h, if erected, would be exceeded only by the great bridge at n Quebec. Plans “A” and “B,Y however, call- ng for tunnels under the Narrows, ure the moré economical proposi- 1 and at that they will cost $35,- 00 for the former and $24,000,000 the latter. Tunnel “A” would be .200 feet from end to end, which is SEK VETERANS PUT NUPROARBY FH HOSPITAL LT olyclinic Shell Shock Wards Roused From Sleep as Porter Battles Operator. Scores of shell-shocked war vet~ ller Ca: 3,400 more than tunnel “B," but as “B” terminates at Rosebank, which Is not the centre of activity that ‘Tomp- Kinsville and St. George art, ihe “B" plan is not nearly as popular as the Tompkinsville plan, Furthermore, the Tompkinsville plan connects di- rect with the Fourth Avenue subway in Brooklyn, whereas the Rosebank tunnel would require a spur to be built on the Brooklyn side to reach Fourth Avenue. Although the legislative measure authorizing the city to engage in this great undertaking provides for a tun- nel to accommodate both freight and passenger traffic, the Delaney report) expresses grave fears for that char-| acter of construction, due to the fire and accident risks in freight traffic, to the detriment of passenger traffic. The passenger tubes would have to be eighteen feet in diameter, while the tubes to carry standard freight cars would have to be twenty-four feet. Staten Island to-day has a popula- tion of about 105,000. Fifty thousand of these people travel daily to 2fan- hattan or Brooklyn, at the rate of 9,000 persons in rush hours, A tun- nel would eliminate almost all of the passenger traffic, on the Municipal Ferry and Jeave the boats entirely to vehicular business, At the hearing on the bill in the City Hall the other day one of the advocates of the tunnel proposition said the tunnel was necessary to eventually replace the ferry bon “for when the new municipal piers open, the harbor traffic down there will be so enormous that the ferry boats will be sunk in the midst of the jam.” DANCE FOR SERVICE HOUSE.
