NOT SATISFIED WITH cENTRAL's PLAN.

To the Editor OF The New-York Tribune
Sir: Observing that you have taken much inter-
est In the improvements TO be made about the
Grand Central Station and yards by the New-York
Central and Hudson River Railroad Company. per-
init me TO state that President Newmans ietter OF
December g. 1902, whereby he sets forth what Is to
be done by the railroad company Is far from com
plying with the wants of the city Of Newf ork and
the wishes of the citizens and property owners as
expressed before the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment
The corporation proposes to depress It's tracks so
that there shall be grade Of not more than per
cent at the crossings. 1t is safe to presume that
the railroad corporation will insist upon the limit
OF per cent which is Objectionable This Is such
a grade as would make it unsafe for horses to
travel faster than a walk the bridges ABOVE
tracks. 1t is also such grade as would be cb-
iectionabIe to carting. and would also be avoided
by light carriages well heavy trucking, and
the congested condition OF Fifth and Madison
and of Forty-second-st. would continue TO be in
tolerable.
While the Improvements being made,
why should not the tracks be depressed few feet
more so that the streets may be carried over 1T
or near grade level? There is no time limit within
which the improvements shall be made. There IS
no guarantee that power house will not be erected
in Park-ave. Considering the fact that the New
York Central has already received from the city
OF New-York at different times for improvements.
the munifcent sum of $7O000N0. it is outrage for
the railroad to ASK ii does, that the city
contribute to the expenses OF the proposed i'm
movements Every taxpayer should protest against

THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
Rapid Transit Lease and Receipts.
40 the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: few days ago you closed an article heaoed
Cool, and evidently intended TO place the brooA-
iyn Rapid Transit In position Of ridlcule ah coh-
tempt before the community it is trying to serve
with the following words: Everybody knows that
the payment for the rental OF the Brooklyn Brldse
is ridicuousy Inadequate and that the surrender OF
the structure TO a private corporation was d
scandalous betrayal of public interests"
Now, the ridculously inadequate payment by the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit for the of the Brooklyn
Bridge, including of maintenance and operation
or the same for the last fiscal year was S9ol'VoO
During the same period the Brooklyn Rapid transit
received for bridge fares just slSs,000.
During the period it further agreed, on the
urgent solicitation of Mayor Low, and on the
ground of public convenience, as well as because
the bridge trustees have funds for the purpose
to put in four additional loops in the NewYork end
of the bridge at cost to itself of $4,000, when.
under the contract. it could only have been held to
pay $1,000
l submit 20 a fairminded public whether your re
marks above quoted just reflection upon the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. whether they were
only on the ground of ignorance of the subject

considered with reference to the cost of the
bridge the rental is certainly inadequate; but
with reference to the direct receipts above stated
it is so disproportionate TO place the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit in a better light. At the same
time, If the returns from the bridge bear so
trif1ing a relation to its cost, the fact only en-
phasizes still further the necessity of getting the
bulk of this travel into tunnels soon as pos

A COLOMBIAN FOR THE PANAMA.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is very interesting to read the various
theories, advices controversies concerning the
selection Of the waterway for the construction OF
the proposed interoceanic canal On this import
subject permit to say in your valuable
columns that although ! Colombian myself
by birth. the Nicaragua route cannot he COM
pared with the advantages of the Panama Canal
This Is a matter that has been already settled
by the best authority in spite OF all opposition and
President Roosevelt knows what he is about
II few CoIombans oppose the agreement look
ing the REIMBURSEMENT OF sovereignty over that
small piece of territory TO the United States, those
few are not the entire voice OF Colombia It's peo-
pie appreciate the value OF the great benefit that
this canal will bring not only 10 the country, bur
to the whole OF South America.
Unfortunately. the country has been in civil
for the last three years. and that is the act
uaI reason of her lack authority 10 treat with
the United States; but that the is over
it expected that the general elections will take
place in January. and then the President VIII have
the power to convene Congress at once The gov
ernment favorably disposed toward signing a
canal treaty with the United States. and will do
so as soon Congress gets together. This VIII
take some time before coming to a definite stand
point with the United States, but firmly believe
that would rather pay the United States to walt
for the inconvenience that afronts Colombia under
the present circumstances than to afford to leave
this matter open for Germany any other Euro

APRoPoS OF ToLERATloN.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: curious instance OF modern religious In
tolerance is furnished by reported in your
issue of December g. When Christ commissioned
His twelve Disciples and His seventy Apostles. He
commanded them not only preach the Gospel.
but also to heal the sick But yesterday an
Episcopal Bishop. instituting rector. went
out of his way attack the teachings of Christian
Science. which recalling the whole of Chris
tendon to the need for obeying this command. The
Bishop in question had the hardihood TO describe as
perversions of Christianity the benefcent teach
ings which daily and hourly healing the sick in
accordance with Christs express command he
Furthermore attempted to conround the spiritual
understanding and the realizing prayer of Chris
tian Science with certain purely materialistic
methods of faith cure" with which Christian
Science has not the remotest connection.
1t is significant that Christian Scientists them
selves never preach sermons against the beliefs OF
others. but concede them the right to their sew
