THE COMMON SENSE OF 1T.
From The BROOKLYN Times. Ma,

In long statement printed in The New-York
on the comparative merits OF bridge and tunnel
construction between Brooklyn and Manhattan
he is emphatCally of the opinion that work on the
new Manhattan Bridge should be suspended and
approaches should be expended in the construction
or tunnels The amount of money" he says.
which must needs be expended in the construC-
ton of this third bridge would build four or five
tunnels. The cost Of the land necessary for the
approaches of the bridge which have a total length
or over a mile, will prove tremendous, and Will ag-
eresdte SeVeral nllIlonS more than was originally
estimated. The bridge will take six seven or even
eight years in the building, whereas a series of
tunnels could be built in half the time" Mr.. Rives
meets the argument that tunnels only adapted

portant.
The arguments Of Mr. Rives are unanswera BILE.
Brooklyn and teach them the necessity OF mme-
diate action to impress their views upon the mu-
nicipal administration. The people of Brooklyn
have the most immediate interest in this discus
congested condition OF bridge travel. Their in
terests demand that relief should be afforded as
speedily and as effectually possible, and If
through the construction of tunnels they can Sc
cure four times the amount of accommodation tha Z

Mr. Rlves is an expert lawyer and when he is
asked 10 eXEound the law his acute judicial mind
insunctiVely looks at II from every point of view
many constructions II can be made to bear Mr.
Rives rendered excellent service to the city as a
member of the Rapid Transit Commission and as
chairman OF the commission appointed to revise

to amend the resolution by authorizing the
Mayor to obtain a similar report the COM
parative cost and time of construction Of
bridges and tunnels from the Bridge Commits
sioner. The resolution as amended was then
passed.
In the course Of the hearing on the question
OF terminal relief on the Brooklyn Bridge John
B. Beet. of the West End Board of Trade, said
that the arrangement of terminal facilities for
the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges
would afford only temporary relief. and that
the only permanent solution of the interborough
transit problem was the construction of tunnels.
Your bridges are behind the times" he con-
tinued. They compare with tunnels the same
as ferries compare with bridges. Tunnels offer
quicker means Of transit for passengers. are
built quicker and cost only a fraction OF what
must necessarily be spent a bridge New
York is behind London and Paris in the matter
of rapid transit. simply for the reason that she
has been slow and behind the times in finding
out that bridges do not afford the advantages
possessed by tunnels. New York has not
awakened even yet to this fact IL would go
ahead Immediately and build tunnels under the
East River instead of one or two costly bridges"
Theodore s. rockingham. of the Committee
of Fifty said: In regard 10 the disposition of
the trolleys when they arrive in this borough 1
suggest that a tunnel be dug under Centre
St, connecting the two bridges. But I think 1t
would be better, myself to dig tunnel under
the East River from Whitehall-st. parallel to
the Brooklyn Bridge: for tunnel construction is
cheaper than bridge"
At the close of the meeting long petition
was presented which contained the names Of
those who desired the Rapid Transit Commits
sion to take the preliminary steps for an East
Side subway, after giving the subject its fullest
consideration, that actual work on this
branch of the subway may he begun as soon
as the financial status Of the city will permit.
