TUNNEL BILL
BECOMES LAW
Governor Miller Signed Meas
ure Yesterday, But Vetoes
Garbage Bill.

by Evening News Stan Correspondent
TOTTENN1LLE, May 13:-Gover-
nor Miller took occasion yesterday to
sign Senator Smiths bill requiring
the city of New York to construct
within two years a freight and pas
senger tunnel between Brooklyn and
Staten Island. The governor also
vetoed the bill presented by Senator
Smith requiring each borough with
in the city of New York to dispose
of its garbage within its own bor-
ders. The latter bill was aimed at
the garbage plant on Staten Island,
making it so that the ~boroughs of
Manhattan, Brooklyn or the Bronx
could not bring its garbage to the
plant at Lake Island in the Fresh
kill creek near Greenridge. The bill
was made a state bill and had the
backing of Assemblymen Frerichs
and Cosgrove, the two Staten Island
representatives. 1t was feared that
the garbage plant would be opened
again at any time and this bill was
presented and passed by both Houses.
Although the governor objected to
the tunnel bill on the ground that
apparently no study had been made
of the engineering problem or the
cost. he signed it. The main reason,
he said, for his APPROVAL was that it
had been accepted by the city of
New-York, which to some extent at
least removed the mandatory char
acter. He said such a tunnel must
necessarily be part of any compre-
hensive plan for the development of
the port. 1t appeared to the COVER
nor that it is one of the obvious
things that may be speedily done
to relieve congestion and to elimi-
nate much of the costly terminal
service now required. The governor
speaks of the great docks being built
by the city of New York on Staten
Island and the transportation means
other than by water to Staten Island
when the docks are completed.
The city of New York, through
Commissioner Delaney of the transit
commission, some time ago appro-
priated the sum of 100000 for
soundings of the narrows between
Staten Island and Brooklyn and
since that time work had practically
been done. the question of the route
is being taken up. There are said to
be two, one al Tompkinsville and
the other at Rosebank.
The garbage plant was closed
more than two years ago and there
Is said to be no use of worrying that
the plant will be opened during the
present administration.
