Staten Island Tunnel
Project To Be Pushed
Brooklyn, Ri c h m On d and

Board to Act at Once

The question Of authorizing prompt
ly the construction Of passenger and
freight tunnel under the Narrows to
connect Staten Island with Brooklyn
will be brought once more before the
Board of Estimate. This was an
nounced yesterday by the Brooklyn
Chamber of Commerce, which issued
call for a meeting Of the Joint commit
tee of fifteen representing the boroughs
of Brooklyn. Queens and Richmond
This committee. which was organized
some weeks ago, hopes to induce the
Board of Estimate to provide at once
the funds necessary TO construct the
tunnel as q connection with the Fourth
Avenue subway in the vicinity of Sixty
fifth Street. Brooklyn and Queens are
interested principally in the freight
tunnel. Richmond's interest lies in the
fact that a passenger tunnel would pro
vide residents of Staten Island with
rapid transit facilities. the lack Of
which is now a detriment to the devel-
opment of Richmond Borough. With a
tunnel under the Narrows Richmond
citizens would be independent OF the
ferries, which are often delayed by bad
weather and ice in the bay. and could
reach the financial district in thirty
minutes without changing trains.
The joint committee will press for
an immediate authorization Of the tur-
mel on the ground that the increased
taxable values it would crate would
pay for the entire project. The cost is
estimated at Sl5,000.0 600.
