LOOKING 10 TUNNEL eAFETY.

Tho State Railroad Commissioners are
preparing to tako up the burden Of respon-
sibility laid upon them by the enactment
Of the tunnel light and ventilation law.
They begin in Albany to-day two
days session which 10 to be given over,
II 10 announced, to the cons!dera-
tion OF testimony presented by experts,
regarding the utility Of different
kinds of lights for tunnel illumination. AT
the close of the Boards session in the
States capital city time will be appointed
for an open meeting a which the railroad
companies and other interested parties viii
have chance TO present arguments, claims
and suggestions bearing on the matter.
OF course, the Fourth Avenue Tunnel, in
this city, furnishes the chief problems be-
fore the Commissioners, and as they desire
10 hear the case discussed from every point
of view, the open meeting will be held in
this city, where 1t will be convenient to oil
interested parties. At this meeting there
should be the fullest possible presentation
of facts and ideas, according to arrange
ments SO systematic as to lead TO the
smallest possible confusion of theories and
proven facts.
According to an Albany despatch in an
other column. 1t is again frankly admitted
by the Commissioners that the recent test
OF electric lighting in the tunnel was
conducted under the Company's auspices,
and this is another admission that the ex-
pertinent cannot be considered as official.
Nor can IL be regarded as final. 1t was
misleading from reasons already shown In
THE EVENING WORLD, chief among which
was the act Of turning the reflectors to the
lamps the wrong way. Then. again, II was
test of lighting without ventilat!ng, while
experience and common sense demon
strate that ventilation and illumination
must go together to secure the sought-foi
conditions Of safety In the tunnel. The
Commission should carefully regart
this fact, for It bears on Mr.. RICKARp'i
idea, expressed In an interview In the sam
Albany despatch just referred to, that tn
IIoosac Tunnel lighting precedent is weak
ened through the infrequent passage o
trains, as compared with the Fourtl
Avenue Tunnel. THE EVENING WoRLI

number Of trains passing through
The Fourth Avenue Tunnel, expert
have declared, can be as well ventilated
and the lights, properly placed. will the
perform their duty. II is only o questio
of expense, and the Company's official
have said that is q question they do nc
