WURSTER FOR RIVER TUNNELS
THE BROOKLYN EX-NAYOR SAYS THESE SHOULD sLPpLANT
THE MANHATTAN BRIDGE


Frederick W. Wurster eX-Mayor Of Brooklyn.
took occasion yesterday 10 give TO The Tribune
his reasons why. in his opinion. work the
Manhattan Bridge should be abandoned for the
purpose of permitting the construction of three
or more tunnels under the East River. which
would insure rapid transit connection with the
island of Manhattan to as many different parts
Of the Borough Of Brooklyn. The subject of
rapid transit has always vitality interested Mr..
Wurster. and while Mayor of Brooklyn, from
January l. 1896 to the time of its consolidation
with the greater city of New-York in January,
1895 he devoted his attention especially TO this
problem He gave his support TO the work of
the Atlantic Avenue Commission, and encour-
aged, so far as he was able the projectors of an
East River tunnel. When seen yesterday at
his Office. at No. $40 Kent-ave Mr.. Wurster
said
Il am glad that the effort is being made to
supplant the Manhattan Bridge which will have
its terminal in Manhattan Borough in the vi
entity Of Chatham Square. and whose Brooklyn
approach will begin near Flatbush-ave and Full
ton-st.. by the construction of a series Of tun-
nes. Mind you, l would not favor the aban-
donment Of the third bridge for only tunnel
for the reason that this would not be fair. A
bridge will carry half dozen tracks of rail-
way, which would make necessary the con-
struction Of many tunnel tubes, 10 carry the
same number OF passengers. But ! believe that
with the same amount of money. three or four
double tunnels could be built which would tap
three or four parts Of Brooklyn.
A VERY EXPENSIVE BRIDGE.
The third bridge will cost a round $16OO0OO0
II not more, for the that its Brooklyn
approach as planned reaches within block Of
Fulton-st and Flatbush-ave. a much longer
approach than for either of the other two
bridges. 4 great amount Of land will need TO
be condemned for this approach. and. being
near the City Hall and the Office section. will
cost millions Of dollars. On the Manhattan side
the same thing will be true
AT the same cost it will be possible I IN
derstand, to build three or four tunnels one Of
which could tap that district Of BROOKLYN con-
templated in the plans for the Manhattan
Bridge, another 10 Greenpoint or in that neigh
borhood and another to South Brooklyn which
is the most congested part of the CITY These
other parts will be compelled indefinitely to
wait for rapid transit connection with the ISL
and Of Manhattan if work is permitted TO go
on with the Manhattan Bridge. Necessarily
the issue Of bonds for this undertaking will re-
tard other improvements most important OF
which is the development Of rapid transit facil-

Has the increase in meat prices cut into the
profits of the city restaurants? Well. that de-
ponds on the style Of restaurant Inquiry at
several dining places last evening ELECTED the in
formation that some purveyors actually
making money out of the rise in prices.
There are restaurants and restaurants in the
city. At some of them one can get a portion
of beefsteak for II cents, with bread and but

others a portion Of beefsteak costs 40 cents
80 cents, so cents 81. according to the size
of the portion and the quality of the meat, and
any vegetable coming with 1t is charged for
extra. 1t was ascertained last evening that the
cheaper restaurants. a rule. have not in
creased their prices lately Some of them may
have cut the portions of beefsteak smaller to
avoid loss on account of the increase in the cost
of the meat. but there has been no change on
the bill of fare at the tables. There has been
n marked change at some of the higher priced
restaurants. however. The portions of beef
steak have been marked up to - cents. 10

having Some relation to the total amount a
customer has TO pay.
What Is the reason for such an increase in
prices?" was asked last evening.
"Oh, the Beef Trust has raised the price of
meat" the reply.
The seeker after information made some cacu-
lations, partly based on knowledge of the in
crease in prices at the markets The market
men have raised prices on the better grades of
meat higher than on the lower grades, and

Fall River. Mass, May 3.-The print cloth market
has been quiet but steady in the week, the sales
being estimated at about hundred and nifty
thousand pieces, mostly Of odd and wide counts

note in the market conditions prevailing
pared with those Of the previous week Few reg
ulars have been sold, chiefly of
scarcity Of this grade Of cloth. Borden bought the
regulars The sales include goods for nearby and
contract delivery. the transactions for contract
goods extending well into the fall. The lower
market for cotton has removed any immediate
prospect for an advance in print cloths. although
market conditions point a maintenance Of pres
ent prices with upward tendency. The prices
are follows: q inch, 81 by Gas. 3ssc 3Sla inch
q by 64s, nc 80 inch, IS by RS. l3-16c.
With cotton at its present level cloths be
sold at prevailing prices and allow fair margin
