TUNNEL STATION
TO Be BEGUN.
P. R. R. Gives Out Contracts
for Razihg the Buildings
On the New York
Side.
THEY MILL GO WITHIN FIFTY DAYS.
Great Depot Covering Four
Blocks and Equipped
With Every Conven-
1 ience to Replace
Them.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
yesterday let the contract for demolish-
ing an entire block of buildings on the
site of the proposed new station for the
tunnel entrance in New York City. The
station is to be built on the property
bounded by Seventh and Ninth avenues,
and Thirty-fr and Thirty-third streets.
The four blocks are built up with oyer
400 buildings, mostly of brick and stone
and of costly construction. The build
ings on the block bounded by Thirtylfrst
and Thirty streets and Eighth
and Ninth avenues, We're sold yesterday
to three dealers in second hand building
materials, who have contracted to remove
them within fifty working days. There
are eighty large buildings in the block.
George Randel Manager for Van
Keuren & Sons, of Jersey City, secured
20 of the buildings, including several four
story brick structures, which cost over
$4,000 each to build. The whole were
purchased for $4,000. The other build
ings were divided into blocks of twenty.
Two blocks were secured BY the George
Jump Company, and one by the f. w.
Seagrist Company. Among the buildings
secured by Seagrist is the old North
Presbyterian Church on Thirty-frst
street, near Ninth avenue.
This is the first work preliminary to
fthe erection of the new station. There
are several buildings which are in litiga-
tion, the owners refusing to sell at the
price which the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company considers reasonable. All the
buildings surrounding these will be de-
molished, but they will be left standing
while the work of excavating to depth
of fifty feet for the foundation of the
station and the underground railroad is
prosecuted.
The station will cover the entire four
blocks. 1t will include every convenience
for travellers and will have wit Ia its
walls theatre, hotel and many stores.
Randel will begin work on the build
ings he has purchased at once.
