r.. l.. Dunn Says Hetch-Hetchy Plan Is
Promoted TO Hinder Acquisition of
Municipal Water Supply

Russell L. Dunn filed a lengthy COM
munication with the Board of Super

to show that the ch-Hetchy or Tuol-
umne River project of municipal water
supply is being promoted in a man
ner which operates to delay and hinder
the city from acquiring the increased
water supply which it's necessities de-
mand.
Dunn charges that the report of for
mer City Engineer Grunsky was
faxed" though not corruptly on the
latter's part, because the $4,000, 1000
estimated cost of the plant is many
millions of dollars too high for a Sierra
water supply for San Francisco. Dunn
withdraws his offer to sell a municipal
water supply for s25,00o.000, that he

NEW CUTOFF IN USE.
That at Marble Hill SaUeS Three
Minutes on Kingsb1dge Run.

The Marble Hill cutoff of the New-fork Cen
trail Railroad was used for the first time for the
passage of trains last night This materially
shortens the run between Spuyten Duyvil and
Kingsbridge by substituting for the old wind
ing route, following closely the line of the Har-
lem ship canal further west.
The original plan to the cutoff on
January |. but mishaps of various kinds caused
a postpOnement. The route will shorten the
time between Spuyten Duyvil and the Grand
Central Station about three minutes. The new
station, which is about two hundred feet south
of the old Kingsbrdge station, is known as the
Marble Hill and Kingsbridge station. The old
line of the railroad between Spuyten Duyvil
and Kingsbridge will be made into street by
the city, which shared with the NewYOrk Cen
trail the expense of building the cutoff.

impressions of the finger prints of suspected per-
