TUNNEL
OPEN ON JULY IS
McAdoo Says It Will Bring Jer-
sey City Within Three
Minutes of Broadway.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The linking of
Hudson river tunnels with New Jersey
will become a fact at 8 o'clock on Mon
day, July 10. when the Hudson and
Manhattan Railroad Company will
throw open to the public its trains and
stations along the lower set of tubes.
This second set of tubes will connect
the Hudson ternlinak $3.50 Church
street. with the Pennsylvania railroad
station in Jersey City. and within
thirty days afterward trains will be
running connecting lower New York by
subway direct with the Erie railroad
station in jersey City and the Lacka-
wanna railroad station in Hoboken.
William C. McAdoo, the promoter Of
the Hudson river tunnels, has already
told of his purpose to have his upper
set of tubes in connection with the
Grand Central station not later than
January /, 1911. He said today:
Three minutes from Broadway to
the Pennsylvania railroad station. Jer-
sey City, is no longer a dream-it Is an
actually. Already practise trains are
running from the Hudson terminal. at
Cortlandt and Church streets. to the
Pennsylvania railroad station In Jersey
City. preparatory to the formal open
ing of the road for traffic on July 10.
This means the obliteration of the
Hudson river SO far as railroad rams
p~ortation is concerned, and brings Jer-
sey City nearer to Wall street than
Union Square, New York"

NOW FLOCK
TO WASHINGTON PARK.
Many Complaints Being Made
to the Police.

Now that the undesirable element
that infested Military Park during the
early part of the summer season has
been banished by. the police of the First
Precinct, they have apparently re-
moved their headquarters to Washing
ton Park, and many complaints are re-
cefved daily from residents of that
vicinity. lll-kempt men and women
co~ngregate nightly in the dark sections
of the park, and their conversation and
actions are anything but edifying to-
the men, women and children who visit
this pleasant breathing place.
The attention of Captain John E.
Brown, OF the Second Precinct, has
been drawn TO the conditions which
exist, and the men under his charge
have been instructed to arrest all those
who are found violating the law.

SHERRERO SENDS
LETTER TO COUNCIL
City Engineer Protests Against
Cuts in Board of Works
Budget

City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd, at
the direction of the Board of Works,
sent to the Common Council last night
a letter of protest against the reduction
by the Common Council finance COM
mittee of the board budget. President
Eggers, of the board, and Commits
sioner Arthur r. Denman were present
at the Council meeting to explain the
letter, but they were not called upon,
n the communication was simply re-
ceived and filed.
The items, aggregating s66, 500. which
made up the decrease We're taken up
individually. The city engineer said
that the budget was not the result OF
snap judgment, but was compiled from
statements Of the amounts considered
necessary for the several departments"
Each Individual account was analysed,
he stated, and the amounts in almost
every case reduced. b.
Under the head OF public baths he
stated that. the SIS, 900 remaining after
81, 900 had been cut out by the commit
tee would only be sufficient to main
tain the baths in their present unsani-
tary condition. He said that it was
the desire of the board to abandon the
pools and substitute shower baths.
The amount requested for public
lighting, re said, over the actual con
tract obligations, was to provide for
the substitution of Welsbach lights for
the open flame variety. The cutting
out of $4,000 from that account would
landicap the work. he said.
The $4,000 cut in the sum for the re-
pairs of asphalt streets would mean
that many of these repairs could not
be made this year, He went on to
state that the proposed cut in the
sewers and drainage account of 81, 500
would prevent the cleaning of the
bitches along the meadows, which, he
said, were a serious menace to health.
The largest cut, that of $780, 900 in the
streets and highways budget, he went
into exhaustively. He d. clared that it
would cripple the department. He was
of the opinion that the account could
be pared of S10,0 900, but if the other
amount were taken away he did not
think that the board should be held re-
sponsible for lack of proper street
cleaning. Much repair work which was
being done at the request of the fire
department would have to be stopped,
or at least .curtailed if the cut went
through, he stated.
