The new treaty is really a supple
ment and amendment of the old treaty
entered into between New York aRd
New Jersey in 1884, fixing and deter
mining the rights and obligations Of
the two states in and about the waters
between the two states, especially in
and about the Bay of New York and
the Hudson River When the old treaty
was signed there were in the metro

given by Julius Henry Cohen, counsel

base its work. Mr.. Cohen also con-

the actual operating costs is the great
waste that occurs from delay in the
handling of freight The trucking
problem becomes one of great impor-
tance when it is realized that horse
drawn and motor-drawn trucks are com
PEELED to stand for hours at the vari-
Gus terminals awaiting their turn to
get on the docks. This must, of neces-

ultimate consumer. No relief can be
had from these conditions without car
rying on the development Jointly with
the State of New Jersey.
Steps must be taken to overcome
the natural barrier between freight
coming from the East and freight com
ing from the West. That barrier is the
Hudson River. Whether it be done by
a system of bridges or system of
tunnels is an engineering question as

projects, will take time"

Underground Electric Freight
System Basis Of Plan

The pain is based on the general
principle of a moving platform or con
tinuous conveyor placed underground
away from conflict with either surface
traffic or subsurface transit lines. The
system will resemble a railroad in ap-
pearance, but viii function more as 4
conveyor, electric circuits instead of
visible mechanisms holding the cars
and trains in virtually fixed positions
with respect to each other
The essential elements % the pro
posed system are:
A belt line railroad in New Jersey
reaching all Of the New Jersey rail
roads that give pier station service;
joint yard and transfer station on the
belt line; two parallel but independent
tracks of standard gauge. running in
loop, mainly in separate tunnels, from
the yard to Manhattan and back to the
yard; series Of multiple story termi-
mails over the loop in Manhattan, with
car elevators from the surface ID
underground siding tracks; a separate
connection and transfer station in Man
haitian for the New York Central Rail
road; feet of special electrically
operated cars and feet of small four.
wheel trailer trucks
Inbound freight will be transferred
al the joint transfer station to trailer
trucks, which will be borne bv the
electrically operated cars, mainly In
eight-car trucks, to the Manhattan sta
tions. The trains will be dispatched
as nearly as possible at uniform inter
walls and run at uniform rates of sneeI
not exceeding fourteen miles an houy.
making it safe to move the trains al
short intervals. At the stations the
cars will be raised to the surface one
at a time and their loads exchanged
tor trailers bearing outbound fre;et-
after which they Will be dispatched m
elght-car trains to the transfer station
and unloaded into standard freight cars
The electric cars Will move around rha
loop on either track in one directio~.
only, each loop thus forming an jDde-
pendent line.
An important economic feature al
this system IS its automatic operation.
as 1t IS proposed that the electric trans
shall be run between the joint railroad
yards and the terminal stations in Man
haitian without train operators. tina
trains being electrically controlled bv
the train dispatcher and his assistants
on the line. In this way there is sub.
stltured mechanical precision for the
human fallibility of manual control.
The proposed system can be operated
by either alternating or direct current.
although alternating current seems 10
be the more advantageous.
In evolving this plan the old com
missions engineers received the assist
ance, advice and collaboration Of spe-
ciallsts in such methods of transporta-
ton, and the practicability OF the zu-
to matte operation is iudorsed bv the
leading electrical manufacturing COM

Her house had dropped from the tree
and was lying on the ground, but this
she did not know
But one day she knew that something
was going on outside-that her house
was beginning to feel queer-and then,
with pop, poor little Miss Chestnut
found that it had burst open, and there
she was tumbled right out of her nice,
padded homel
'Now, who did this terrible thing?"
she asked. "Who spoiled my nice, warm
house?"
1t was the first gray dawn of the morn
ing that all this happened and looking
out on the chilly world Miss Chestnut
saw tall, slim, long-hngered youth
leaning against the tree laughing
In one slim hand he held an icy
hatchet, and Miss Chestnut knew at
once that he was the one who had de-
stroyed her home.

folks are alseep and tumbling them out
