S1OO,OOO,OOO SPAN
AT NARROWS URGED
FOR STATEN ISLAND
Transit Commission Engineer
Wants Link to Be Bridge
Instead of Tunnel.

One Of seven proposed methods of
connecting Staten Island with the ex-
isting rapid transit system OF Greater
New York, Is a bridge across the
Narrows. Daniel NJ. Turner, chief en-
gineer OF the Transit Construction
Commission, in his report to Commits
sioner John F. Delaney, suggests the
bridge as proposal No. 7. The other
SIX are for tubes under the NarrowS
In support OF the bridge idea Mr..
Turner writes to Commissioner De-
laney in part as. follows:
None of the other plans for rapid
transit tunnels contemplates Joint
freight and passenger service. For
the proper development OF Richmond,
interconnecting facilities must be pro-
vided, not only for rapid transit trafhc,
but also for pedestrian, trolley, freight
railroad and vehicular traffic,
"A bridge woulG provide for all
these facilities. Four tracks for rapid
transit service, four each for railroad
traffic passenger and freight) and
four for trolley service, making total
Of twelve tracks. A rough estimate
Of the construction cost OF such a
bridge would be between $4,000, 600
end &1OO,O0O,OOO Time Of construc-
ton ten years"
Mr. Turner's report states tina,
tunnels providing for equivalent facil-
tiles would cost three times as much
as the proposed bridge. The expense
% the bridge, Mr.. Turner says, could
he borne jointly by the various trunl
line railroads, rap i'd transit companies
and the municipality. He also sug.
gests that such bridge would serve
as a suitable memorial to the departed
heroes from New York who serve(
their country in the World War

FINANCIAL NEWS AND PRICES
WALL STREET

J Considerable bulllsh exuberance
was displayed by stock traders again
to-day. II was generally anticipated
that because of the impending three
day holiday the day would be given
over to what is technically termed
evening up OF contracts" II seemed
that most OF the contracts that were
evened up were by bears.
Impetus was added to the forward
movement to-day by a drop in the
call renewal rate 70 per cent, COM
pared with s per cent. Yesterday and
Wednesday. Having in mind the
fact that the West is stlll withdraw
ing funds for crop moving purposes,
and that preparations are being made
by banks 10 take care OF the third
installment OF tax paymentE, due on
the 10th inst, the lower rate came
as a surprise.
Bears asserted that hhe lower rave
was enforced for the purpose OF aid
ing bankers TO do a little window
dressing" in the market. Assertions
were commonly heard that big bank
ers are endeavoring to create a better
financial feeling so that THE public
will take more readily to the nav
French Government loan which will
soon be floated, and to the many new
railroad security issues, principally
equipment trust notes. which must
soon be placed on the market.
At any rate, prices OF practically oil
issues moved upward without en-
countering profit taking or new
short selling OF consequence. Rail
road shares first acted as leaders dnd
when these showed signs OF hest
fancy the oils and equipments were
taken in hand BY midday gains in
tho favorite speculative stocks ran all
the way from substantial fractions to
more than three points.
It is said in banking circles in a
position to know tho facts that gold
importatlons during tho next month
will reach total of not less than
500, 900, 600. This will come from the
French Government and will be ap-
piled toward the payment Of that
Governments share Of the Anglo
French loan. which natures on Oct.
is. Receipt OF any such amount of
gold WILL of course, do much to re-
lieve the current money stringency,
and II Is nearly everywhere admitted
in Wall Street that the money sltua-
ton is the biggest single factor against
broad upward movement in stock
market prices. II seems to be the
consensus OF opinion that any possible
business depression has been dis
counted.
Commodity markets again displayed

ably because of the threatening labor
situation on the other side. Initial
declines ranged from $3.50 to s. per
