THE MARSHALL TUNNEL BILL.

Mayor Van Wyck to Give n Hearing on the
Measure. in Which There Is Much Interest.
1t is expected that there will be a big crowd
at the public hearing on Wednesday morning
on the Marshall Tunnel bill. providing for a
tunnel under the East River. which will give
the Long Island Railroad a terminal station
in this borough. In the region OF Cortlandt
and Church streets. Tho bill was at first in
tended as an amendment to the General Rail-
road law. which would have obviated the ne
cessity OF its coming before Mayor Van Wyck
as a city measure. but pressure was brought to
bear to change this. and the bill. after no little
delay. reached the Mayor Yesterday morning.
Company. the Brooklyn Atlantic Avenue Com
mission. and many property owners in Kings
county and further dow Long Island will ap,
pear In favor Of the bill. and that the board
OF Public improvements and the Rapid Tran
sit Commission will also lie represented. All
1t is understood that Gov. Roosevelt fayors It.
Whether or. not Mayor Van WICK will sign
il Ia a question that causes no little anxiety
to the friends OF the bin. Two other bills de-
pendent upon the Marshall bill were passed
as amendments to the General Railroad law,
them. and this is said to have disposed that
official, unfavorably toward this bill. Should
the bill become a law the Board OF Pubic Inn
provements Will have q degree OF jurisdiction,
as there Is no department OF tunnels in the
city government. The two dependent bills
already passed as amendments to the General
Railroad Law permit the l.. !. r. r.. Company
and to operate an electric surface road as
feeder thereto.
