EAST RIVER TUNNEL HEARING.
FAVORED BY THE QUEENS
COUNTY DELEGATION.

Another delegation appeared before the Rapid
Transit Commission at its usual meeting yesterday
to advocate the Flatbush and Atlantic-ave. route
for the proposed marlborough tunnel, as opposed
TO the suggested Hamilton-ave. route. The dele
cation comprised e F. Brown and John Adikes of
the Jamaica Citizens Association and Fl. f. Smith,
OF the Taxpayers League. of Richmond Hill. Mr..
Brown argued that Jamaica was practically the
centre OF the borough of Queens. and the Flat bush
and Atantc-ave. route would benefit from one
half to threefths of the total and population
OF Queens County, while the remainder would be
accommodated by the New East River Bridge
and the proposed Long Island City tunnel.
MIR. Brown asserted that Jamaica the garden
spot of Long Island. and that the sparse settle
ment of the neighbOrhood due entirely to the
lack of transportation facilities. He said that il
now required from hour and ten minutes to an
hour and a half to make the trip from Jamaica to
New-York during the rush hours. and that about
as good time could be made by walking He said
that the Long Island Railroad, never having had
any competition, had not treated the residents of
Long Island as well as il might have done. Messrs
Adikes and Smith also spoke in favor of the Flat
bush and Atlanttc-ave terminal

stood that a proposition for the operation of the
tunnel If placed under Atlantic and Flatbush ayes.
