AND CITY HOPE TO SEE PLANS
REALIZED

Residents of The Bronx are preparing plans to
submit to the Rapid Transit Commissioners for
an extension of the subway from One-hundred- and
forty-nnth-st northward under the Grand Boule-
ward far Moshou Parkway which connects
Van Cortandt and Bronx parks. James l.. Wells.
of Harlem. and Louis \. Risse, chief typographical
engineer of the Board of Public improvements, are
advocates of the extension. The people Interested
in the tunnel say that it ought not to cost
than $4GO0GOO
At present there is money for any such ex-
tension, and there is not likely to be for or
three years according of the Rapid Transit
Commissioners seen yesterday. The Brooklyn ex-
tension is to $S,G0000, and this practically
hausts the funds for tunnel purposes.
Long Island City people also think that is
Il good time TO make move for tunnel from
the Grand Central Station, in this borough, to
Long Island City. and the necessary preliminary
steps VIII be taken at early date for getting
the work started. The advocates of these projects
do not hope their plans materiaze for a
long time. but they think it will be a good idea
to get them started.
