WILL THEY DO?
PaoPERTY-OWNeRs SPECULATE AS
TO THE TUNNEL SITUATION.
Tho Action Necessary for Immediate
Remedv-Interviews with the Citv
Engineer and Nr. Atkinson.

The all-absorbing tunnel question was
generally discussed by persons interested
yesterday.
Those living on Eighth street IN close
proximity to that portion Of the thorough
fare under which the excavation extends
were less excited over the matter than for
several days and no one moved out OF the
neighborhood.
During the day many residents OF
Eighth street and several members OF the
City Council went down 10 the mouth OF
the tunnel and inspected 1t in general
way. Tho cracks in the street were the
source Of much comment.
DID ALL HE COULD.
Colonel Wilfred E. Cutshaw, the City
Engineer. was seen by DISPATCH reporter
Yesterday afternoon and asked what be
was doing in regard TO the tunnel and in
order 10 avert danger TO individuals. no
said: ~ have had the street barrlcaded
and advised certain families to move from
the VICINITY. L have no further power at
present"
In reply to q query whether or not he
had during the day visited the tunnel, ne
said he had not.
( WHAT WILL DE- DONE.
The question that now forces ltSel1 upon
the minds of the residents of that locality
| is what action will the Street and Finance
| committees take at their meeting on Mon
day evening. A great many persons are
despondent regarding the matter and fear
| il will DO again deferred but there are
many others who take brighter view and
are confident that resolution Will ne
passed at the Joint meeting instructing
some member of one of the committees
who is also a member of the Board OF Al
| dermen TO introduce the subject before
that body at its session on Monday night
| for immediate action.
THY HAVE MEN AT WORK.
A DISPATCH reporter called on Mr.. II. T..
Atkinson. local counsel for the Richmond
and Chesapeake Railroad Company. and
| asked what his people were dong toward
strengthening the tunnel. His reply was
| that they had a. large force as could
work in the place busily engaged IN digging
trenches to lot out the water and erecting
| timbers to brace the earth. He said these
| hands had been at work every day since
| Monday.
| THE EARTH SINKING.
| Persons who have watched the condition
| of the street above the tunnel were yester-
| dav right much excited because of very
noticeable depression in the middle OF the
thoroughfare. which depression extends
up to what is supposed to be the very ter
minus OF the excavation. This is said to
have sunk gradually during the past three
or four DAYS. and yesterday evening was
about foot and quarter lower than the
| level of the street, ard displayed slight
signs Of cracking and breaking away from
| the solid earth.
