AS an investment proposition, there
is nothing in the vicinity of New York
that can exceed it. The Hudson River
Railroad operates express trolley service
to I3oth Street Ferry, reaching the
Harlem shopping center in rs minutes
and via the subway, City Hall in As
minutes. The Northern division of the
Erie already offers first class steam
service with forty trains daily also
reaching City Hall in As minutes. This
road will have connection with the
three tunnels now under construction
under the Hudson River, and the run
ming time will be between 20 and rs
minutes to any part of Manhattan
