BETTER TRANSIT, SAYS MCGOWAN.
Declares New York Must Get Busy or Jersey
Will Take Her Citizens AWAY.

Speaking yesterday OF the opening OF the McAdoo
tunnel to New Jersey, Acting Mayor MCGOWAN
deplored the fact that this city gging so far
behind in developing its transit facilities. The
McAdoo tunnels. he said would certainly draw
residents OF this city 10 New Jersey and
New York would have TO work with expedition in
building subways that would turn the homeseek-
ers toward Brooklyn Queens and Richmond bor-
oughs.
Mr.. McC7owsn said there seemed to be 4 tendency
among the officials 70 wrangie over transit plans
and declared his belief that the Belmont interests
did not expect 20 operate the Steinway tunnel but
wanted 10 sell II to the city an exorbitant price
He spoke. too. of the greensboro Bridge cost
ing So0O000OO, over which not car has passed.
although It has been opened to traffic for four
months.
"One set of did what they could to start
one line across the bridge he said "and then
another set tried block It. Not satisfied with
being beaten in court. they are prolonginE the
litigation
Thus have two great transit facilities living
idle. AS a matter Of fact. need another tunnel
under the East River and under the Narrows

sey. ] don't believe any will have the hard-
hood stand for Mayor this fall without pledging
