GREENSBORO TUBE

Board Of Estimate Decides
Against Proposal to Re-
model Bridge.
IT WILL COST 81, 600

The Board of Estimate notified the
Public Service Commission yesterday
that II favored a tunnel under the East
River instead Of a reconstruction OF the
Greensboro Bridge to connect the dual
subway system with the Borough OF
Queens. The board informed the COM
mission that It VAS prepared to supply
the necessary funds and asked the COM
mission to prepare a new subway route
from Fifth venue and Fifty-ninth street
through East S!xtieth street to connect
with the proposed unnel
This tunnel. which Is the plan OF the
Degnon Contracting Company, viii cost
the city $3.50. 900. while the changes In
the structure of the Greensboro Bridge
to permit the subway trains to cross over
the river would cost only s2,603. 900.
This would make the tunnel cost $780,
600 more than the bridge reconstruction
and perhaps 5000. 900 additional. too IL
the cost OF dredging should be charged
to subways instead Of to docks.
But President Mc.Aneny. who intro
dlced the resolution approving the tun-
mel, which was passed unanimously,
pointed out that the tunnel will guar

will be needed unless another bridge is

The Degnon Contracting Company has
the contract for building the connection
of the subway between the Fifth avenue
plaza. through Fifty-ninth street, across
the bridge to Queens, and back from the
bridge through East Sixtieth street. This
company's tunnel bid Is eaid to be a
million dollars less than the work will
cost. MIR. Degnon says he IL willing 70
make this sacrifice because he IL inter.

He suggests changing the plans Sc
that both tracks of the subway which
would go through the tunnel might be
built under Sixtieth street instead of tn,

Michae J. Degnon. head OF the com

$500. 600 II the city will allow him tc
build both OF these tracks through Six

wipe out the over head charges OF

Mr.. pegnon assured the Board of rs
