The specal Rapid Transit Inquiry Commission
appo!ntei by the Supreme Court 10 determine
whether a rapid transit railway ought to be built
in accordance with the plans OF the Rapid transit
Commission met yesterday at No. 2oS Broadway.
The session was devoted to the hearing OF the pro-
tests OF the Park Avenue Property Owners Asso-
catlon the members OF which are opposed to the
proposed railway passing through Parx-ave be-
tween Nlnety-eighth-st. and the Harlem River
Ezra A. Tuttle and James G. Bushby, counsel for
the association. and Commissioners Frederic X.
Coudert c. Sherman and w. II. Geshener were
present
The chief engineer. William B. Parsons. took the
stand and was examined by Mr. Tu;te, who said
that the property-owners along Park-ave. had SUI
fered greatly by decrease in value owing to the
erection of the Harlem Railroad along the avenue
The erection Of an additional elevated structure
would Sill further depreciate the value OF prop
erty.
In reply 10 Mr. Tuttle, NJ. Parsons said that the
idea in building the rapid transi; road sSoye
Would il no; be possible to tunnel the Harlem
1T would be possible from engineering point
OF view. but 1t would be very expensive and very
difficult the reply
Could not Madison-aye. have been selected for
the road" asked
Mr.. Tutte then said that the estimated cost OF
acquiring abut;ing property along Park-ave was
estimated at 100000, and that would nave TO be
added to the cost Of building the line: 49,
Another objection. Mr. Parsons said. TO tunnellins

After the tunnel had passed under the river. 1t
would be far beneath the surface The soil, Mr.
Parsons added. also objection to tunnellins
from Nlnety-eighih-st. IL would be possible TO use
cassons constructing the tunnel, but this would
increase the cost.
Would 1t not be cheaper TO tunnel. or go through
the middle OF the Mock, than pay damages TO
property-Owners" asked Mr.. Tuttle.
We'll. 1t might" replied Mr. Parsons.
At this juncture Mr.. COuiert announced that an
