More TunneI Projects
That there viii be an under the-rfverrace
between the Pennsylvania railroad and
the New Jersey Railroad company, with
the first tunnel connection with New
York as the prize, is made likely by the
announcement of the purposes of tho
new company. The Pennsylvania, which
means to bring it's trains practically to
Herald square, expects to finish its
bridge tunnel in three years. The New
York and New Jersey company now an
nounces that work will be begun on its
tunnel within two or three months, and
that it will be completed before Christ
mas, 1903.
1t is said that the company's $4,000, 900
of capitalization was taken up within one
week after it was offered for subscrip-
ton.
This electric tunnel line is to be a bond
between the three big street railway sys-
TENS, and a connection with New York
for big railway system. At the New
Jersey end the cOrIrany's terminal, at
what was the old Jersey City kali park
VIII lie the center CT a convcrGirg system
Cf troll v track. which WI terminate
hes ide tins terminals of the tunnel com
pany on the surface. A side line Of the
tGnnel will run to point alongside the
LackaWanna station, where again
passengers viii be exchanged on the sur
face. These two lines will merge and
single tunnel will cross to New York,
turn nOrthward, and with a curve or
two, reach the terminal plot it recently
purchased There, on the surface, cars
of the Metropolitan system run alongside
those of the tunnel company. 1t is ex-
peted to land passengers in New York
in five minutes from Jersey City for
less than a 5-cent fare, and to beat the
ferries by ten or fifteen minutes in time
The approaches on each side will be
four tracked.
Judges Discuss Supreme Court
At the dinner Of the Phi Delta Phi
club, at the Hotel Marlborough the va
rious remedies for relieving the con-
gested condition of the supreme court
We're discussed by Judge Seabury, Of the
city court; Franklin Pierce and others
Charles Thaddeus Terry, president Of
the cluD, VINO presided, declared that the
delays Of the law often amounted t. the
denial of justice, and that in tort cases
important witnesses had been known to
die before actions came to trial. He
said that many cases were put on cal
endara simply to force litigation ou- Of
court, when the parties concerned knew
that the cases would never come to trial
Mr.. Terry blamed attorneys for delay
ing action by making excuses for post
ponements. Judge Seabury said the ST.
preme court Of the Third department was
now 900 cases in arrears, and the ar
rears were increasing at the rate Of
LOCO cases a year He favored trying neg
ligence cases in the city courts, but said
that it was impossible to make attorneys
take them there, as costs in the supreme
court, were always larger. He favored
an act Of legislature to change this, and
the addition of another justice to the city
court. Judge Seabury thought that the
commission of seven was a useless and
expensive luxury. He thought THAT the
solution for the overcrowded condition Of
the supreme court lay in transferring
cases to the city court.
