ROVER payable to the company.
Mr.. Dryden was first examined con-
corning his Interest In the Prudential
company and the terms of the COM
pany's naturalization, which occurred i'm

COMMISSIONS AGREE
ON TUNNEL TERMINI
Plazas at Joint Expense and
Street to Be Widened by
Erie Railroad.
COMPROMISE Is REACHED
New Jersey Body Next Week
Will Ask Bids for Ventila-
tiOn Shafts.

The deadlock between the New York
and the New Jersey vehicular tunnel
commissions over the widening Of
streets at the Jersey City ends OF the
tunnels was ended yesterday when both
bodies adopted a report of joint COM
mittee which had been named to confer
with Erie Railroad and Jersey City au-
thorities and work out basis of agree
ment. The New York commission had
taken the position that the State OF
New York was under no obligation 10
pay for the widening Of streets In Jer-
sey City. while the New Jersey commits
sion insisted that the expense be borne
jointly.
The report OF the committee provides
that Twelfth street, Jersey City. at the
entrance to the eastbound tunnel, shall
be widened to 100 foot plaza for the
two blocks between Provost and Grove
streets, at the joint expense of the COM
missions, and that Twelfth street shall
be widened to 100 feet for the two blocks
between Grove street and Jersey ave-
nue., the expense of that work to be
borne by the Erie Railroad In return,
Eleventh street. which parallels the
tracks of the Erie, Is to be closed for
the convenience of the railroad.
fourteenth street Is to be widened to a
90 foot plaza between Provost and
Henderson streets. and Henderson street
between Fourteenth and Twelfth streets
Is TO become a 16o foot plaza. all at the
Joint expense of the two commissions.
The New York commissioners ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
foregoing arrangement since they re-
garded the creation Of plazas at the
tunnel ends a legitimate Joint under
taking as part of the tunnel project. and
since they regarded themselves relieved
from paying for separate street widen
ing by the arrangement with the Erie
Railroad.
1t was expected that the consent OF
the Erie Railroad to the new plan would
be obtainable, in which event the New
Jersey commission intends to advertise
next Tuesday for bids for the contract
for the secondary ventilation shafts on
the Jersey side. BY that time, it was
expected, $1,000, 900 OF the proposed New
Jersey issue OF $2S.000.o00 in tunnel
bonds will have been sold and delivered,
making available the money for the
work.

Of the committee.
The most interesting witness of the
day was Forrest F. Dryden, president
of the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany, and an officer or director of the
United States Casualty Company. the
National Bank of Commerce and the
Fidelity and Union National Bank OF
Newark.
Dryden Sticks to HIS stand.
Mr.. Dryden was called in connection
with official denials issued by Edward
ID. Duffield. associate general counsel
and vice-president Of the Prudential, of
allegations that the company compelled
the purchase Of undesirable property as
condition to making mortgage or build
ing loans. Mr.. Untermyer went into de-
tail again over the record Of certain
transactions participated In by the Pru-
Dental involving loans to New York
corporations where property in Newark,
Hoboken and Long Branch was taken
for S619.000 made to the Jattison Con-
struction Company on the property at
1919 West Thirty-seventh street. where
In the borrower took over the Takanas-
see Hotel at Long Branch.
"Do you still insist that the sale OF
that property was not condition to the
negotiation of the loan?" Mr.. Inter
myer asked. Mr.. Dryden replied that
he did.
Gould the borrower have got the
loan without taking over the prorerty?'
HE could have applied"
Mr.. Dryden described the purchase or
sale of properties In connection with
building loans as part Of Joint propo-
sition," but he would not admit. al
though asked several times. that offers
for the properties in question ever came
as an independent proposal from the
borrower.
'Tt was a case Of I'll take your prop
erty If you'll lend me the money, wasn't
it?" Mr.. Untermyer asked.
"It came to the finance committee as
a Joint proposal" the witness replied
to half dozen questions Of the same
trend.
Mr.. Untermyer was still sceptical and
thought he might show through the bank
checks that the cash consideration in
the sale negotiations had been deducted
from the proceeds Of the loan. His ef-
fort along this line lafi to a situation
that appeared embarrassing at first, but
ended in sort of burlesque.
