PLAN TO MAKE HARRISON, NJ.
The Greatest RatIroad Center in the
World some Details.


The Greatest RAILROAD Center in the
World some Details.
In connection with the combination
of Pennsylvania, McAdoo tunnel and
Public Service interests feature Of
Importance mas been announced which
is entirely novel in the establishment
Of a great central yard Of transporta-
tion at Fourth avenue, Harrison,
making that place one Of the great rail
road centres Of the world 1t is pro-
posed to make this the terminus Of
the steam system Of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad. Here every train from
the South and West viii stop, the To-
comotiye will be abandoned, and the
train, propelled by electric engines,
will shoot across the meadows, dive
beneath the Bergen Hill and the
North River, emerge again at the
great Thirty-fourth Street Station,
now under construction in New York
City, and again plunge beneath the
surface. pass under the East River to
Long Island City, and thence go over
head to New England, connecting
with the New Haven Railroad to all
points in the East.
Passengers from Newark for the
Pennsylvania Railroad viii leave the
Park avenue terminal, and either
change at the great central yard at
Harrison for the main line, or go di-
rectly to the Thirty-fourth street sta
tion. Harrison win be the great
changing point, and there one Of the
greatest Of railroad structures will be
erected. Every facility win be afforded
and vast and complicated railroad
system will be devised. Passengers will
go to the central station, for connec-
tion with every Western, Eastern and
Southern point, and will leave through
trains there for trolley connection
with Newark, Jersey City, Hobo
ken lower New York, or Brooklyn. 1t
will be like Jersey City. only the con-
Inections will be far more numerous
and much more convenient. Every
through train will stop there, and
every trolley passenger will be able to
reach that point from all sections Of
Essex, Passaic, Morris, Bergen and
Hudson counties. a complete unity
Of system between the Public Service,
Pennsylvania and McAdoo tunnel
lines, win exist.
The Newark and New York Rail
road will be operated by the Pennsyl-
! vania, but the CONNECTIONS in Newark
aud thence throughout this section Of
| the country will be under the Public
Service Company's control The New
York connections will, Of course, be
through the McAdoo tunnels, and the

A company has plans perfected for a
hotel to be erected on the bluff just
north of the Mountain House in Mont
clair. The building will be four stories
high and will be white outside like
Mexican mission work. 1t will con-
tain 100 guestrooms and fifty bath
rooms, ballroom and grillroom. The
hotel company is capitalized at Sl70,-
600. The spot chosen has an elevation
above sea level of nearly TOO feet. Not
far away is the handsome castle OF
Frederick E. Kip, which was built at
a cost OF several hundred thousand dol
lars.
The plans for the hotel were drawn
by Fred u. Wallis. The approach for
vehicles will be from the rear of Pomp-
ton Turnpike, but footwalk and
steps will be laid down the mountain
side to the avenue at the foot of the
bluff. The front of the building will
face Montclair, and a view equal to
the one from Eagle Rock may be had
Of Montclair Bloomfield, Newark and
New York. To the west can be seen
the hills Of Morris county, while on
the north Paterson may be viewed.
1t is expected that the construction
of the hotel will be begun within few
weeks, and that it win be completed
within year
The hotel will probably be visible
from some parts of Morristown.
