and the supplementary report OF the spe-
cial committee on Pending Transit Pro-
posals" recommend the construction of
freight tunnel in connection with the pro-
posed passenger tunnel between Brooklyn
and Richmond.
The city has, therefore, already pracu-
! cally committed itself to freight tunnels.
A freight tunnel across the Hudson
River between some point on the Jersey
shore and Manhattan and one across the
East River between Manhattan and
Brooklyn would form the connecting link
for a complete belt line railway connect
ing Manhattan. Brooklyn and Richmond

and Hoboken, and, by means OF the con-
Meeting railroad now under construction,

It is proposed to locate the marginal
railroad a sufficient distance away from
the buildings along the east side Of the
marginal street so as TO leave sufficient
space in front of the building to permit
trucks to serve them, as at present

All the freight can be delivered at and

FREIGHT SUBWAY PLAN
Designed by Amos L. SChaeffer
to Solve West Street Problem.
DOUBLE STORY STRUCTURE
Project a Six Track Surface
Road, Enclosed, with Roof
Roadway for Vehicles.

Amos l.. Schaeffer, consulting engineer
Of the Borough Of The Bronx, proposes
as E solution Of the problem OF the
waterfront development on the lower
West Side Of Manhattan a surface rail-
road of six tracks. He has submitted his
report on this subject to Borough Presi.
dent Miller.
Il is not the intention Of Borough Presl-
dent Miller TO interfere with the plans
Of the officials having the solution in
charge, but 10 furnish a third plan for
their consideration.
Commissioner Tomkins's plan proposes
an elevated railroad. while the plan OF
the committee of the Board Of Estimate
proposes unit terminals. II is said that
the surface railroad will double the
capacity Of the street and also Of the
nicrs. II extended over them.
Engineer schaeffer says in his report in
part as follows:
The capacity OF the piers used in CON
nection with the unit terminals is nm
tied and as railroad trahic increases
which IT must as long as the poPulatlG,ini
OF the city increases, addluonal piers VIII
be required for this purpose.
That plan, therefore, does not release
the piers 10 marine traffic, which is their
natural use if the port or New Aork IL
10 maintain its pre-eminence. ,,.z
While a marginal elevated railrodu
would release all piers for the use OF mar
ine traffic, IL could not conveniently ge
connected with a tunnel across the huu-
son River (Which will eventually be neceS-
Sarv In order to remove the noatlng ran
road traffic. on account of the grace
which would have to be overcome.
n Is believed, however, that subway
below the existing grade OF the streets
and so near the Waterfront Is ptac ~ tbs
out of the question on account OF li5e
GREAT cost of construction and the read
iustment Of the subsurface structures
In order to overcome the objections TO
q subway and an elevated railroad
whether marginal or connecting piers
with freight terminals. and still retain all
the advantages of a marginal railroad, II
IS proposed to locate six-track railroad
along the surface of the waterfront or
marginal street from Goth street south as
far as may be necessary TO meet present
requirements and to inclose these tracks
in a subway structure and provide road
way for vehicular traffic on top OF it,
BY this method tracks can be laid into
any building OF block which it may be
desired to develop as a freight terminal,
a warehouse or factory in the same man
ner as an elevated, with the additional
advantage that they can be laid on the
surface of the ground; likewise tracks
can be laid on the present floor of any

Of the ten Chicago packers was made
today when United States District
Judge Carpenter allowed the introduce

The defense had denied AL knnwl

until they were suddenly produced In

The government believes the margin
sheets to be an important link in the
chain OF circumstantial evidence by
which II expects to prove the packers

When Special Counsel Pierce Butler
