Hoys Proposes a Big Tun-
mel 10 Staten Island.
SAYS He Has Franchise to
Build Submarine Street.
Would Be Wonderful Boom for
City Of New York.

New York. July 2S.-Stephen M.
Hoye, a promoter who never suggests
things on small scale, now comes
forward with plan to build tunnel
as wide as Broadway beneath the Mar
rows from Brooklyn to Staten island
and thereby to destroy forever the iso-
lation from which Staten islanders
now suffer. Hoye is president OF the
New Jersey & Staten Island Junction
Railroad Co. He asserts that in 1890
Congress passed an act giving to his
company a franchise in perpetuity and
authorizing the construction of a tun-
mel from the town of Mlddletown,
Staten island, to New Utrecht, Brook
Ign, and providing for the establish
ment of that line as a post road.
Seemingly, however, it was not I'M
til recently that Hoye and his asso-
ciates discovered the charter author
lied his company to construct post
road beneath the Narrows. He said
yesterday the plans for the big tunnel
now are being prepared and that the
work will be carried on under new
engineering system. 1t is his aim to
have the tunnel serve as a connecting
INK between Inc FbIl IIdllllltcIl Chu
of the Fourth avenue subway and
StapletOn.
Inquiry in the offices of the Public
Service Commission yesterday elected
the information that nothing had been
heard there of the Hoye project nor
was ANYTHING known of such fran
chiee rs the one he says his company
possesses. Hoye, however. is trimming
over with the great good that would
accrue to the city, and particularly to
Staten island, by the building of the
tunnel he proposes, because it not on
" would be a railroad tunnel. but also
an under-t the water street for VenlcleS
ard pedestrial traffic.
1--WE lust have discovered our char
ter gives the power to construct a
poet road" Hoye said. I'VE now are in
conference with firm of engineers
who assure us they can construct a
tunnel under the Nerrows that will be
as broad as Broadway from curb to
curb. and the road will be wide enough
for automobiles, carriages and railroad
tracks. The distance under the Mar
r;,ws is less than two miles. The en-
ginccrs say the tunnel can be con-
