TUNNEL IDEA
STILL HAS MANY
WARM FRIENDS

The east side approach Is now one OF
the chief topics of interest at the city
hall. The Rhode Island company's VIA
duct plan Is given but little endorsement,
the general opinion favoring tunnel.
II is said that the company's plans have
been removed by the officials Of the COM
pany, 30 that only the committee men
have inspected them.
That an easy grade street must also
be provided besides either viaduct or
tunnel Is the unanimous opinion. The
best solution of this is said 20 be the re-
mova1 OF the Arnold block and the ex-
tention OF Waterman street.
A very large attendance Is expected at
the public hearing on the matter to be
held next Monday evening, and the meet
Ing will probably be hong and interest
ing one.

There was al marked contrast be-

ways pleasant and even genial, and
that Of Stanton. The latter's stern,
5spectacled yisage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before high desk
as the crowd passed before him and
one by one presented their requests or

Your true commuter must be by ma

There are some who have committed
for a quarter century or more and vet
have not acquired the trick and never
will They are the ones who write let
tiers to the newspapers, airing their
grievances against the heartless rail-
road corporations. They are not born
commuters. They have had commute
ton thrust upon them But many real
sly enjoy the life of the commuter.
They like the clocklike regularity.
They like the pleasant social aspect Of
the early morning trip to town, the
nelghborly interest In one another's af-
fairs, the ample time for reading the
newspapers, which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged to get
an early start. They look forward to-
the pleasant relaxation OF the whist
game on the way home, with head on
one side to keep the smoke out OF their
eyes Some of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in

the best part of the day to one narrow
corner Of the city. The rest Of, his
time not consumed on the train is In
still more narrowing atmosph of the
suburbs. He neither gets all the way

has neither the perspective Of robust

| In the city and Of It His return to

Is suburbanity. Much Of our literature,
