HOT DEBATE ON TUNNEL ROUTE
SOME AND DEFENDED BY OTHERS OF
THE COMMITTEE OF FIFTY.

After debate lasting for two hours. In which
much strong language was INDUCED in. the Com
mittee OF Fifty of Brooklyn last night decided
against giving It's subcommittee on bridges and
tunnels authority mandamus the Municipal As
sembIy into taking action upon the proposed route
for the Brooklyn tunnel. The opinions ranged all
the way from that OF Ludwig Nissen. who thought
capital punishment too good for the
members OF the Municipal Assembly. to those OF
Charles n. Chadwick and ex-MayOr David A
Body. who deemed II unwse TO antagonze the
assembly by threats and urged the advisability of
persuasion
Theodore L. rockingham. chairman Of the sub
Committee Bridges and Tunnels. reported that
the route for the Brooklyn tunnel had been before
the Assembly committee for nearly fourteen weeks
without any action being taken. whereas the law
enjoined them to act within four weeks. He then
offered set OF resolutions calling upon the As
sembly TO act and the Mayor to send in a special
message upon the subject These resolutions were
passed but the discussion of the evening was pre-
cipitated by a resolution empowering the sub-com-
mittee to institute proceedings legal or other
wise that il may fit. TO compel the Assembly
committee to act upon the tunnel route" C n
Chadwick, ex-Mayor Body and others believed II
unwise to threaten the Assembly until every power
of persuasion had been exhausted Ludwig Nissen
said Il would be cowardly and useless to beg on
hands and knees any longer, and that harsh meas
ures were the only ones which would be OF any
avail
Frederick w. Hinrichs said the trouble was that
there were too many towards among the citizens;
ostensibly part OF the government the real gov
eminent was behind: that it lay with the bosses
and the machine, and that there was the place to
go get favorable action.
Charles H. Robertson. president of the School
Board. said his experience was that 10 best TO
go to the higher powers" for results.
Borough president circuit defended the members
of the Municipal Assembly who he said were
much better than painted. He said that IL would
be Impossible to rnandamus them to take favors6Is
action. and II they should take unfavorable ac-
ton the tunnel would receive severe blow.
Alderman McInness said he knew every member
OF the minority favored the proposed route and he
hell would be passed a wa m
oughly understood
Upon a vote IL was decided drop the resolution
looking toward mandamus proceedings until naxt
Tuesday night when the subcommittee will again
report TO the Committee of Fifty.
