SYSTEM OF TUNNELS.
Magnificent Plan For Removing Con-

geStlon from PlttSpur9 otreetS'
Pittsburg, May 3O.-Ralph E. Finn,
John S. Weller, counsel for Mr.. FlirI,
and David o. Jones of Booth G. Finn
are seeking a charter for magnill'
cent system of tunnels under the pr'n-
cipal streets of Pittsburg for the de.
livery of freight.
The application will be made on
June 10 at Harrisburg and the com
pany will be known as the Freight Tun.
mel company. The authorized tunnels
are to underlie every important down.
town street.
The proposition has its origin In the
similar plan which is just being com.
ploted in Chicago AS built in Chicago,
the tunnels are about seven feeI
square. In them are operated freight
cars propelled by electric power ap-
piled by the cog system. Thesn cars
will deliver freight from the railroads
and factories to various parts Of the
city.
The project means the removal OF
hundreds of teams from Pittsburg
streets and the coEs equent freeing of
the downtown thoroughfares from
much of the congestion that makes
life and limb unsafe at certain hours
OF the day.
