All these tunnels are actually under
way. Two are completed, four more are
nearly complete, and four nearly half
bored
Then the tunnels are to come in the
near future-forty-hve odd miles of
them under Manhattan and Brooklyn,
giving speedy access to every part of
these boroughs and the Borough of the
Bronx, just to the north of Manhattan
Island and forming the only part of the
greater city which is on mainland.
These, like the subway, will be built
under municipal direction, and after a
term of years will revert Internationally,
equipment and all, to the city Plans for
them are now ready, and before many
months it is expected that the work of
building the first of these interborough
tunnels, which will probably be operated
in conjunction with the subway, will be
we'll under way.
Within the next ten years the tunnels
under the island of Manhattan will form
veritable gridiron of electric train pas
sage ways. And there will be at least
two layers of tunnels in places. For ex-
ample, at Thirty-fourth street and
Fourth avenue, the railroad tunnels will
run below the subway, and some of the
rapid transit crosstown tunnels are be-
ing planned to be bored many feet be-
meath the subway and the projected tun-
nels that will have the same general di-
rection, that is, run lengthwise of the
island.
A quarter of billion dollars is the
enormous sum that the city expects to
spend in concentrating its(share Of the
wonder of transportation. This includes
the fifty million dollars spent for the
subway and the thirty millions for the
East river and Brooklyn extensions. Be

Behold the wonders that the twentieth

Chief among them is the wonder of
hnsportation. Certainly it is the chief
/ from the Human interest" and the
amatic points of view.
Six tunnels under the Hudson river
wo, a pair, will give one of the coun-
] US greatest railroads direct entrance
the heart of Manhattan Island. The
4 hers, in pairs, will connect with the
'olley systems of Jersey City, Newark,
oboken, and score or more of Jer-
v suburban towns, thus permitting
ousands of commuters to get into New
ork without having recourse to the
rries that now crowd the North river

And eight tunnels under the East

background from the upper tip of Man
bttan Island to the residential sections
Brooklyn. These tunnels form an ex-
lnsion of the subway, a wonder that

Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-12-07

tween thirty and forty million dollars
will be spent in completing the North
river and Manhattan Island trolley tun-
nels and in building the two skyscraper
terminals essential to the system, one on
the edge of the financial district, the
other in the Thirty-third street shopping
center.
Twenty million dollars has already
been spent by the railroad in question.
Forty millions more is expected to see
the improvement through to the last de
tail. In these millions is included the
cost of the great terminal station to be
built in the heart of the city. It will
be one of the largest terminals in the
world; for its site thirty city blocks were
cleared of the hotels, retail stores, man
ufactories, flats, apartment houses, priv
ate houses. Thousands of persons were
forced to find homes and places of bust
ness elsewhere in the city. The trolley
tunnels under the East river will call for
fifteen millions.
But this is not all of the wonder OF
transportation.
In order to bring its terminal facilities
not only up to date, but, if possible, put
them years ahead of the city, the railroad
that now enjoys monopoly of direct en-
trance into Manhattan is busy spending
fifty millions on a mammoth station and
for electrihcation of its lines within a
fifty miles radius of the metropolis
The concourse of this station will be
the largest business room in the world
Its dimensions will be seven times those
of the present lobby; it will be 40 feet
long, 100 feet in width, and $50 feet
from floor to peak of the great domed
roof. Restaurant and toilet accommo-
dations are to be increased five hundred
fold, the ticket lobby seven fold, the cab
stand capacity twelve fold. There will
be two track levels, one for expresses,
the other for suburban traffic, and hence
two waiting-rooms, one above the other.
The suburban level will be the lower.
OF course the new station yard will
be two-decked. There will be sixty-hve
acres of tracks on the two levels, as
against twenty-three acres in the present
yards. Everything is being done on a
scale that would have astounded the
kings of transportation no more than a
decade ago, to say nothing of the chaps
who thought they were doing big things
a quarter of century ago.
Twenty-Five millions for the station,
and a like sum will be spent for the
station yard and electrihcation of the
tracks for a distance of fifty miles out
of New York. That is a wonder in it
SELF and the new station will be the
first railroad station in the world not to
know the coal locomotive unless the
railroad that is coming into Manhattan
under the Hudson river gets its new

needs of those who are seeking after
knowledge. The library contains
many fine reference works that could
be had nowhere else in this section
and it is favorite resort for students
and professional people.
In 1883 Mrs. DR.. Kennedy donated

office for public library. 1t was ac-
cepted by the beard of trustees as
provided for, and was the beginning
OF the present worthy enterprise.
There is small endowment and the

and grounds cost $4,000 of which
Andrew Carnegie donated $4,000.
There are from 5000 to 5000 volumes

Called the Bluff.

The republicans of Howard County
have money to burn this year If an
offer to Chas. Goettel of IS per day
and expenses for his support for
Culver is any index. County Chair
man Evans denied the accusation and
offered to confront the party who
made the information, and in com.
pany with Sheriff Campbell called on
Max Thuerk in whose presence Chair
man Evans offered Chas. Goettel s5
per day and expenses If he would go
out and work for Culver among
Goettel's German friends who are
incensed at the "turn down. given
Goettel by the Republican bosses.
Thuerk confirmed the report, and
CONSERVATION reigns in the Republi-
can camp. In the evening, Evans
had Thuerk In tow, probably endeav-
oring to induce Thuerk to change his
statement.
This incident shows the desperate
straits to which the Republicans Of
the county-and the state--are
driven this year. 1t behooves every
Democrat and every Republican
friend of the various Democratic
candidates to be active and vigilant,
for money will be used freely to
defeat their candidates.
