TELLS WHY HE OPPOSES TUNNEL
Mr.. Shonts Reiterates Objection to Hudson
Tube-Would Interfere with Subway He Says

Theodore r. Shonts. president OF the INTERIOR
ough- Metropolitan Company. sent a letter yester-
day to William r. Wilcox. chairman OF the Public
Service Commission. in which he reiterat ted that the
Interborough was opposed TO the proposed McAdoo
tunnel extension to the Grand Central Station only
on the ground II might interfere with the pres
ent subway or with future additions to it,
Accompanying Mr Shonts's letter one from
William Barclay Parsons in which he recommend
ed that "for the safety OF the present subway and
not TO interfere with the rights OF the Steinway
tunnel. recently confirmed by the Appellate Divi-
sion. the proposed Grand Central Station OF the
Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Company be
located as TO have the whole of its station roof be-
Meath the sub grade of the Steinway tunnel"
Referring the position of the Interborough. Mr.
Shonts says
OF course you aware that. in any compre-
hensive plans for New Yorks subways, the second
level 42d street should be reserved for subways
TO be constructed running north and south in Man
haitian Island and to The Bronx. The first level Is
occupied by the citys subway; the second level
should be reserved for future north and south sub
ways. and the third level belongs to the Steiuway
tunnel 1t will therefore be that II the Hud-
son g. Manhattan Railroad Company IL permitted
to occupy the second level in 42d street IL will for
all time prevent the possibility of building north
and south subways crossing 42d street between
Sixth avenue and Park avenue, unless the new
north and south route is made the fourth level

Taft Day at Exposition.

Now that Seattle Day and it's record
breaking attendance of HOB il a
thing of the past, the exposition officials
are looking forward to Taft Day festivi
ties September 30, when it is thought
the turnstiles will register the greatest
number Of daily visitors yet seen at the
big fair. President Taft has no rival in
popularity in the Northwest. When he
visited Washington state in September,
1907, he was greeted by recOrd-breaking
crowds all along his line OF travel
Business was suspended in Seattle and
every one made it point to be at some
vantage point to see the big, good ma
tured Chip Taft. His consent to speak
in the natural amphitheatre and to
spend the day looking over the fair
grounds will prove a valuable drawing
card.
The senate committee on irrigation,
making a tour Of the United States, will
Tist the various exhibit buildings of the
exposition Monday in order to make
study Of the irrigation displays, which
are made in the Yakima building, the
Utah building and many of the other ex
hibit buildings of the fair.
Governor Harmon OF Ohio will address
the people Of the Northwest at the audi
torium Of the exposition, Ohio Day,

the Ohio people of this state, who are
