HYLAN PLANS TUBE
TO JERSEY DESPITE
ONE NOW PROPOSED
Board of Estimate Gets Project
That Ignores Tunnel Author
lied by Legislatures.

Corporation Counsel O'Brien sub
mitted to- day to the Board Of Esti-
mate a bill to be introduced in the
next Legislature, the object OF which
is to enable the city to build n freight
terminal system to connect with the
railroad lines ending on the Jersey
side of the Hudson River.
This proceeding indicates that the
Hylan Administration is paying no
attention to the organization known
as the New York Port Authority.
Under the authorization Of the New
York and New Jersey Legislatures
a comprehensive plan for tunnels and
terminals in and between New Jersey,
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island,
Queens and the Bronx has been pre-
pared by the New York Port Au-
thority and will be presented to the
New York Legislature on Jan. 2.
The Hylan Administration is lay
ing plans to handle the freight termi
nal situation independently of the
New York Port Authority. The rail-
roads are up in the air because the
New York Port Authority plan is
radically different from that of the
Hylan Administration, and either
plan to function must have the un-
divided support of and complete
connection with the railroads.
. The designs OF the Hylan Admins
tration are further complicated by
the announcement OF the Transit
Commission that it has a plan OF its
own for a passenger tunnel between
Staten Island and South Brooklyn
and the Board of Estimate plan is
largely dependent upon a combination
freight and passenger tunnel under
the Narrows But the Hylan Admin
istration does not recognize the Tran
sit Commission as a legal body.
The details OF the various port and
terminal projects are so complicated
that no casual reader could under
stand them. They have occupied the
attention OF engineers for years and
have cost in the aggregate millions
