way Company for a flfty-year franchise. to
construct a tunnel under Chambe street from
a point 100 feet east OF West Broadway to tho
Hudson River. under which 1t will pass to
Jersey City. The tunnel Is to contain double
track road OF standard guage. and the trains
are. according to the petition. to be operated by
electricity.
David ]. Newland. President OF the COM
pany. said that the company had engineers and
capitalists who were prepared to put tho road
through within two years. and called attention
TO the fact that all they asked Of the city was a
right to construct terminal. and not to carry
passengers under the city. Chief Engineer
Frederick NJ Lande filed plan OF the tunnel
with the committee. and explained that under
Cham bers street the shield method OF con-
struction. which does not disturb the surface.
would be used. He said that on account Of tho
grades at the end OF the tunnel. higher mo-
mentum could be reached than on a bridge.
and that the actual time Of transit would be
about four minutes.
