S19,SS1,72S TUNNEL
CONTRACT AWARDED
Work to Be Started on Vehicu-
lar Tubes to Jersey City
Early in May.

The newly appointed New Jersey Tun-
mel Commission met in joint session
with the New York Commission in the
Hall OF Records yesterday and formally
awarded the contract for the SUBJ
aqueous construction OF the vehicular
tubes under the Hudson River to Booth
& a'linn. Ltd. for sI9.331.723. When
the bids were opened February Is theirs
was found to be the lowest, but the
award was held up pending the passage
by the New Jersey Legislature OF the
ripper" bill which changed the per-
sonnet Of the New Jersey body. All diff
ferences between the two commissions
are now settled and from now on it is
expected that the work will progress
without friction.
Actual construction work is expected
TO begin BY May !. it was said by Cliff
ford NJ. Holland, the chief engineer.
The contracts will be sent to Booth
Finn to-day, signed by the two COM
missions. and the contractors have five
days in which to execute them. Work
must begin within thirty days after the
date Of execution. NM. Holland said he
be consumed IN the letting or sub-con-
tracts for cement, cast iron and steel.
all Of which must be approved by the
two commissions.
According TO word received by the
commissions yesterday the Jersey City
authorities will no longer remain recall
citrant regarding the passage OF the
ordinances required 10 insure the execu-
ton or the contract with the Erie Rail-
road. The most important OF these Is
me closing Of Eleventh street. which IS
70 be replaced BY a widened Twelfth
street Under the recent act passed at
Trenton the New Jersey Commission has
authority TO acquire what land Is needed
by condemnation proceedings. but the
present attitude Of the Jersey City mu-
nicipal authorities will render such ac-
ton unnecessary.
Money for prosecuting the work is
now available. New Jersey has pro-
Eded i by means Of a bond issue The
New York Legislature appropriated
S5,500.000 before II adjourned and
$4,000 600 moro had previously been APP
propriated. FL
Mr. Holland yesterday submitted
memorandum comparing the cost OF the
vehicular tunnels with the rapid transit
tunnels under the East River. for which
contracts were let at pre-war prices.
The comparison develops that the
comparative actual cost Of the vehicular
tunnels IS only about 10 per cent greater
than the tunnels contracted for in 1914"
said Mr.. Holland.
