WALLS REPLACED BY IRON AND STEEL
Many property owners in Park-ave- along the
line of the New-YOrl Central Railroad tunnel were
before the Board of Health yesterday in the hear
ing the protest against the substitution OF iron
and structural work for and brick walls
of the tunnel.
Everett P. Wheeler. lawyer for the property own
ers, declared that the gases. steam. smoke and
odors would more readily escape if the change was
made. He asked that the order of the Board of
Health authorizing the substitution be rescinded.
At the close of the meeting President ,Iohn B.
Sexton of the Health Board in talking with Com
missioners Jenkins and Cosby. said:
The property along the line OF Park
ave. and adjacent streets needlessly alarmed
over the proposed change to be made in the New
York Central tunnel under orders of the Board Of
Health We doing everything We can to I'M
prove the condition OF affairs and therefore have
recommended that iron pillars and girders replace
the stone and brick walls. The change will be a
benefit to all. The change does not include an en-
largement of the tunnel but Is TO give better ven
tilation to passengers.
