NEW HUDSON TUBE
OPEN NOVEMBER IS
Greatest VehicuIar Tunnel
viii Link New York and New
Jersey Under River.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-The Holland vehic.
ular tunnel, greatest of underwater
travelways. will be opened on No.
vember 13 to provide a dry-land path
for motor vehicles and pedestrians be
tween New York and New Jersey
beneath the Hudson River.
Success and tragedy have been
mingled in the building of the huge
tunnel Seven years of toll and the
expenditure of S4S 5000. 900 have been
involved in the construction of the
twin tubes. each a mile and three
quarters long-the longest vehicular
tunnel in the world.
One after another, two chief en-
gineers Of the project died with their
task only partly completed. A third
engineer took up the task and car
ried it to completion.
Tube Named for Engineer.
When work was begun on October
10. 1920. construction was under the
direction of Clifford NJ. Holland. Al
that time the project was known as
the Hudson River Tunnel. Just as
construction reached the point where
the sand hogs" working under com
pressed air. were about to "hole
LhC OL SAlS
river. Holland died.
In respect to his memory the tunnel
was named the Holland Tunnel and
the work went on under direction Of
his assistant, Milton II. Freeman.
Six months later Freeman died. The
position of chief engineer of the prof
| ect then was given to Ole SingStad
who saw the construction through to
! it's completion.
Huge Ventilating System.
The twin tubes will make possible
| the passage of $500 motor vehicles al
hour between New York and New
Jersey. An enormous ventilating sys
tenn will expel vitiated. gas-laden all
and force i'm fresh air. Lights surb
IN the ceiling overhead will provide
illumination without glare. Four hun
dred special police will direct traffic
and will guard against accidents.
| Despite the tremendous cost OF the
tunnel it is expected TO pay for itself
| from tolls no greater than ferries
| charge, within IL years. 1t has beer
estimated that if a toll of one dollar
a car were charged and capacity traf
fic were maintained "a hours day
| the receipts would be almost 81 100000
daily and the entire indebtedness coulC
be paid off in less than two months.
But it was decided to base the toll'
| upon existing ferry rates, making th'
charge per car about 40 cents. Th'
Interstate Tunnel and Bridge Com
mission also points out that traffic viii
average below capacity and that large
operating costs must be taken int
consideration. 1t is estimated that by
spreading costs over IL years the tun
mel can be paid for and maintained
without the levying of exorbitant tolls

CONGRESS TO GET

Legislation to provide for continua-

road building th% %oughout the Nation
is expected 70 come before the Seven
tieth Congress, which gets under way
next month.
Existing law authorizes SIS, ,000. 600
for regular highway work and s. ,500,-
900 for forest road work tor the fiscal
year Anl,nS June 80, 1929, but those
in touch with the problem of carrying
on this extensive program of highway
Improvement point out that it is de-
sirahle to have the authorization pro
vided lIr N advance to enable the
States to make arrangements for their
participation and 10 meet their share
of de work.
1t has become customary 10 max q
the authorization for two years at a
time, and Senator McNary of Oregon,
discussing the Feieral-aid highway
plan yesterday, expressed the belief
that the IN coming Congress would pro-
vide for authorizations for 1880 and
1891.
The Federal-aid funds are allotted
to the States according to the area,
population and mileage of rural
roads. The Bureau of Public Roads
of the Department of Agriculture, in
CO-opcIdllon WITH Sldte HlSnWdV Oh
ficials, has laid out a Federal aid
system comprising the more i'm
portant highways, so that the great
est advantage to the country as a
whole may be obtained from the
expenditures.
The American Association of State
Highway Officials, at its annual meet
ing last month. voted to ask Congress
to make the Federal-aid highway
authorizations for 1880 and 1881 in
order that the Bureau of Public
Roads and State highway departments
may outline the projects for those
years and make other preliminary
arrangements.

PRISON EXILE URGED
FOR DRUG ADD|CTS
Minister Likens Habit to Lep.

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 5.-Classify.
ing drug addiction with smallpox.
cancer and leprosy." the Rev. Albert
Sidney Gregg of Cleveland, speaking
today at the closing session of the
World Conference on Narcotic Educa-
tion. presented plan to isolate con-
firmed drug addicts on a prison island
near. Tacoma. Wash.
The conference indorsed DIR. Gregg's
proposal to utilize for this purpose
Mcneil Island, where the icy waters
of Puget Sound serve as prison walls. !"
The island at present is a Federal
prison, with population of GA con-
victs; but if the segregation plan is
carried out it is estimated that 1000
men now serving sentences in other
prisons will be removed to the addict
colony. A resolution asking congress
sional aid was drafted and adopted by
the conference.
Under Dr. Gregg's plan a man on
parole who resumed the used of drugs
would be subject to arrest and return
to the island by a United States
marshal. If a man violated his parole
a number of times, perhaps three, he
should be declared incurable and per-
manently isolated, the speaker pro-
posed. Those cured of the habit
should be given vocational instrIc
tion while in prison, he said.
DR.. Gregg pointed out that the
number of addicts in the United
States was estimated at not less than
250.000, and perhaps as many as
1000 900, and that the annual
economic loss through addiction was
placed at 20.000,0 900. He said that
one-third of the criminals now con-
fined had been found to be drug
addicts, and that many younger
people were taking up the habit.
The conference resolution asked
that Congress create an official COM
mission empowered to make survey
of the country and draft hill proVid-
ing for a national narcotic sanitar!um.
