The TUNNEL PROJECT.
County Commissioner Hare Says the
schsme Is Not Abandoaed-Busi-
ness People Endorse the Project.

County Commissioner Hare Says the
Scheme Is Not AbandOned-Busi-
ness People Endorse the Project.
The scheme Of putting q tunnel
through wheeling hill as proposed by
County Commissioner Hare, in the
meeting Of the board Wednesday has
stirred up general interest, and yester-
day the project wds the topic Of gene
eral conversation, especially throughout
the business district. where the need Of
such an improvement Is felt.
The scheme Is not new one by any
means and has been talked Of for years.
but Mr.. Hare's resolution was the Arst
move in the direction Of securing the
desired end, ever brought before the
county commissioners. Several years
ago MIR. Gil Brown made two surveys Of
the hill and estimated the cost Of put
ting through the tunnel from Tenth
street to McColloch. at not more than
$1OO, 900, and by having the western ter
minus at Ninth street. about $4,000
would be saved. Mr.. Browns drawings
showed that grade would be naces-
sary from the west end down to Nc
CoIloch street, but this could be reme-
died to considerable extent by max
ing cut from Market street on Ninth
back to the base OF the hill where the
tunnel would begin.
An Intelllgencer representative saw
Mr.. Hare yesterday and he said the
project was by no means knocked out
by the action Of the board Monday; on
the contrary, 1t had stirred up the feel
ing of the people, and the matter would
be pushed through at some time not
in the distant future. Mr.. Hare ex-
pressed his surprise that the idea had
been opposed by the country represen-
tatives, when their districts would be
the ones most benefited by such a move.
He explained that his resolution did not
call for an expenditure of money, but
merely the appointment OF a committee
to act with like committee appointed
by the city council, to consider the ad-
visibility OF such a move.
Yesterday prominent business men
called on Mr.. Hare and personally COM
mended the action he had taken. and
pledged their support at any future
time. The Idea Of having thorough
fare which cuts of a mile between the
central portion of the city and rapid
ly growing residence district has appeal
ed to the good Judgment of many peo-
pie. and the city council may take ac-
ton In the matter.
One of the reasons assigned by some
Of the board Of commissioners for vot-
ing against the resolution was. that it
would be encouraging too large an ex-
penditure of county funds in the city
district. This is in direct opposition
of their action" said a prominent mer-
chant yesterday. "in making improve
ments out Caldwelrs run. on the Penin-
sula and on the old road leading to
Fulton. If the city is not to secure
some benefit in the way of improve
ments from the county funds, what is
the use of having Representatives from
the city districts"
