No Fuss or Feathers Characterized the

Boston, Mass, Dec 30.-Without the

in cities to which they are novelty,
Boston this morning threw open to pub
lie travel the big tube which now con-
meets East Boston with the city proper.
At $3.50 o'clock the first car left the

East Boston, and started under the har-

the city stations TO handle possible

there was no crush
The East Boston tunnel is one OF the
longest submarine tunnels in the world
Its total length is IA miles, although
only 2,7OO feet of this is under water
This length is exceeded by the Mersey
tunnel at Liverpool, which Is $500 feet
long, but it is greater than the Black
wall tunnel at London and the Port HUI
ron and Glasgow tunnels.
The tunnel was constructed at cost
Of S3000,0O0 by the city of Boston,
which has leased it for term Of TWEEN
ty-fiye years, dating from 1897, to the
Boston Elevated Railway Company,
which viii use the tunnel exclusively
for the passage Of its electric cars from
Boston and East Boston. About four
and one-half years have been consumed
in constructing the tunnel. It il built
entirely Of concrete and IS the only tun-
mel Of that kind in the world 1t has
a maximum width Of 23 feet inches
and an average height under the harbor
Of twenty feet, the lowest point of the
tunnel being about ninety feet below
mean high water. The tube is de-
clared by experts to be absolutely fire.

The system Of ventilation includes
the employment Of a duct running
through the upper part Of the tunnel,
