ANOTHER MOVE
ON POLLUTION
SiIzer Calls Attention of N. Y.
to Littering of New
Jersey Beaches

TRENTON, Sept. "a. - Governor
Silzer today made public a telegram
he sent through his secretary. Fred
eric M. p. Pearse, to Captain j. c.
Fremont. Supervisor of New York
Harbor. again calling attention to the
littering of the New Jersey beaches
with what is apparently refuse from
New York. For sometime Mr.. Silzer
has been battling against the pollu-
ton of the coast of this state by ma
terial dumped in the ocean from
other states. Mr.. Pearse's telegram
to Fremont read as follows:
Governor Silzer informed that
beaches on Jersey coast again litter
ed with refuse of all kinds. Suggest
that you visit beaches Immediately
to observe for yourself conditions.
Governor personally inspected beach
at Spring Lake and found there oil
kinds of tin cans, bottles, such as
would have been rejected after do
mestic use. He found remnants of
vegetables and fruits of all kinds,
two dead cats, and large quantity OF
wood block paving which had evil
IDENTIFY been taken up from the
streets and dumped with rest of ref
use. There does not seem to be
slightest doubt but that this refuse
was such as came from city of New
York. 1t could not have come, judg-
ing from its character. from coast
wise vessels, or any other course"

FAST WORK ON
TUNNEL UNDER
HUDSON RIVER
Rotary Club Hears {. M. Bar
radaIe Tell About Great
Engineering Problem
B0REs SOON COMPLETED
Question of Ventilation Solved
So as to Give Constant
Change of Air

The first of the two tubes of the
vehicular tunnel under the Hudson
river will be completed as far as the
bore is concerned next month, and
the other tube will be joined late in
December or In January, L. M. Bar
radale. of the New York and New
Jersey Bridge and Tunnel Commits
sion, told the Perth Amboy Rotary
Club at its weekly luncheon at the
New Packer House today. Mr.
Barradale gave very interesting
description of the work of the tun-
mel and quoted figures showing
what stupendous task the building
of this tunnel is.
Tracing the history of the tunnel
from the time the agitation was
started. Mr.. Barradale told of the
very great problems that had to be
solved. and the vast amount of in
vestigation and study necessary be-
fore even the first steps could be
| taken. Never before has tunnel
the size of this one been built, and
besides the problem of construction,
the question of proper ventilation
was of the utmost Importance.
The tunnel consists of two sep
arate tubes, each tube capable of
accommodating two lines of traffic.
One of these tubes will be used for
traffic moving toward New York aud
the other for traffic moving towa rd
New Jersey. The capacity of the
tunnel Is $4,000 vehicles. or 46 per
cent. greater than the combined
traffic upon all the Hudson River
ferries.
Realizing the danger from the
poisonous gas from the automobile
exhausts. the problem of ventilation
was a vital one. Not only must the
tunnel be safe for those passing
through it., but 1t must be safe for
those who are employed in the tun-
mel continuously, day after day. The
fact that it is a vehicular tunnel
makes traffic officers necessary with
In the tunnel to regulate traffic.
These officers will be on duty eight
hours a day. and what effect the gas
would have on the human being thus
exposed to 1t was something to be
determined. After a great deal of
study and experimenting by experts
system was devised whereby
100000 cubic feet of fresh air will
be pumped into the tunnel every
minute and the air of the tunnel will
be changed completely every minute
and half.
The manner In which the huge
shields are pushed through the sand,
salt and rock was Interestingly de-
scribed. The tube is made of cast
iron with concrete lining. The
slabs are bolted together making
rings, and then the rings are, in turn
bolted together. Compressed air Is
used for the men to work in, and
extensive power houses are in opera
tion on both the New York and the
New Jersey shores keeping up the
