SOUTH BROOKLYN MEN HOPEFUL
PREPARING TO MAKE AN IMPRESSIVE
SHOWING BEFORE THE RAPID
TRANSIT COMMISSION.

When the question of a route for the proposed
tunnel from Manhattan TO Brooklyn comes up be-
fore the Rapid Transit Commission at another
hearing, to be given next Wednesday, it is likely
that impressive showing will be made by the
men who want the tunnel to so to South Brooklyn.
They are much in earnest, and believe that they
may win
IF the Hamton-ave tunnel is feasible, and 1
believe 1t is said Frederick c. COcheu. of Bay
Ridge, yesterday I'VE give a bond for any
amount for the faithful performance of the work
and occupancy of the tunnel. If We're assured
that the tunnel would be continued down Fourth
ave-, say and over into the Borough Of Rich
mond. with four-track line. / could get them a
tenant quicker than chain lightning.
MIR. Cocheu Is close friend of p. II. Flynn, the
well known railroad and contractor, and
Flynn is the man who would like the opportunity
ot bidding for the construction and operation of
tunnel to South Brooklyn. ii is said.
If the Commission desires 10 know whether
there is any sentiment in favor of the South
Brooklyn tunnel I'll guarantee to fill Carnegie
Hall with its advocates continued Mr.. Cocheu.
THE Hamton-ave plan would cost 20 per cent less
than the Joralemon-st. tunnel"
