plans of that company and h Penn
sylvania Railroad Company concerning
the Newark-New York rapid transit
line, as outlined in the EVENING
STAR, are confirmed.
While not settling upon the exact
site of the Newark station, Mr.. McAdoo,
in his report, declares that it is to be
located in the heart of the city.
The report shows that an amazing
total of 400 0 900 passengers are being
carried in the TUNE trains each year,
and that the patronage of the system
Is constantly growing. Concerning the
new line to Newark the report says:
1.-The Henderson street station in Jer-
sey City forms a part of the high-speed
line between New York and Newark. 1t
will be n~ecessaryto construct only about
two-thirds of 4 mile more of subway
in Jersey City to effect a connection
between this system and the present
main line tracks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. BY agreement with the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company a through
service will be operated between the
Hudson Terminal Station and a new
station to be built by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in the heart of
Newark. This company furnishes the
track and facilities between the Hud-
son Terminal, New York, and ummit
avenue, Jersey City, and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company furnishes the
track and facilities between Summit
avenue, Jersey City, and the new sta
ton in Newark. Each company pro-
vides it's pro rata Of the equipment,
based upon mileage.
"When this line is in operation it
will, by agreement with the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, handle the
traffic of the Pennsylvania company
into downtown New York.
Exchange of traffic between the two
companies will be effected at Harrison.
The completion and operation of this
line will be of great value, since it will
become, in effect, a part Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad system. 1t will de-
velop a greatly increased traffic be-
tween Newark and New York, as well
as between the company's own sta
tons in Jersey City, Hoboken, and up
town and downtown New York"
Embodied in the report is a state
ment of James McCrea, of the Penn
s~ylvania Railroad Company, made in
| his annual report to his company. This
report, in brief, is as follows:
1.-The downtown tunnels of the Hud-
son and Manhattan Railroad Company
were open to traffic on July 16. and
under arrangements previously made
passengers to and from your lines have
the option of using these rapid transit
tunnels between your Jersey City sta
ton and the terminal of the tunnel
company in New York. This tunnel
,x,,ta,@, ,y;II also Iao axfanda6 fhrnlp1
Jersey City, westward from a point
east of Summit avenue, where connec-
ton will be made with your lines. Your
railroad will be electrified from thai
connection to the new station at Har-
rison, n a branch will be constructed
from there into Park place, in Newark
A joint rapid transit service will Their
be operated between the Hudson Com
pany's Church street station, in New
York. and Park place, Newark.
THE new station at Harrison vii
provide the facilities for passenger
desiring to transfer between the rapic
transit line and all trains on YOU
system.
with all of these facilities pfovid
ed, it is felt that every reasonable re
quirement for the passenger service IL
and out of New York city will b'
fully met and that portions of the pres
ent tracks, terminal and ferry facili
ties will then also be available TO
freight traffic.
THE operation by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company of it's through
Western and Southern service to it
new terminal at Seventh avenue ant
Thirty-second street, New York, viii
not, in the opinion of your officers, ad
versely affect our company. On thu
contrary, when the new ~high-speed lin
to Newark is in operation your com
pany will receive a larger business
from the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany than it now does"
Continuing his report. Mr.. McAdo'
says:
