V» ' -»K n all the history o f m in were inch Btuiæiulous engineering feats accom­ plished or even dromnril?- The North river tunnels uhne are without a paral­ lel In any ago or time. The sw ift erec­ tion of these apd all the other struc­ tures gives one some Idea of the era and country In which we live. Nor have we reached the end of tbe magic story. Various plans are now being considered for either a bridge or tunuel to Staten Island, and another project taking more or le*s definite form to that of a North river bridge. In mat­ ters of this sort New York has legiti­ mate ground for pride, and the whole nation has ground for pride In her. This Is the constructive spirit of Ainef- lcauiam made manifest. There to another work of Improve­ ment now started In tho vicinity of New York that to worthy of greater" notice than i t hue received. For years some of us have, believed that the Hackensack meadows, lu north Jersey, could be filled In and atUbtcd aa fino manufacturing sites. A t last capital has seen the opportunity, and work on this line haa been started, lh Is only In .Its lnciplcncy aa yet, but w ith tbe movemeut of population toward Jer­ sey that w ill be brought ubont by the new tunnels aud with the ever Increas­ ing demand for land on which to erect manufacturing .plants the effort to des­ tined to grow until these ugly and unhealthy salt marshes are finally re­ claimed, As the plan to now being earrled out It to simplicity Itself. I t consists in pumphig mud out o f tho bottom of the ttvo rivers that flow through the meadows and using this mud to fill iu the marshes. This serves tho double purpose of reclaiming the meadows and of furnishing deep water channels for navigation. Considering tbe fact that tills section to a network of railroads und that there*-will thus be ubundunt laud und water transpmr- tatjon, no,more desirable manufactur­ ing site could be conceived. There'is unother phase of the move­ ment ,o f population Jvrsçjrward that presents an Interesting problem. A l­ ready Jersey City, Hoboken, the O r­ anges, the Montclair«- and. In a more remote w»yr the cities of N ew ark, Pat­ erson, Passaic, Hackensack and Eliza­ beth are almost-as yuuch a part of New York as Brooklyn or Mount Ver­ non. Yet been use of staf5 lines they cannot be Included in either the gov­ ernment or population of the -metropo­ lis. Cotpdderlng the kind of govern­ ment New York has had In tlue post few years, we could not much blame them ft»r a fervent “ thank God” be­ cause of th«rir escape .from our foud municipal embrace. Yet from the pop­ ulation standpoint there to a féal loss, . even though It may seem n sentimental oue. There are now piacftcatly a mil­ lion people In north Jersey—that enn- not be counted In the New York cen­ sus, although they really belong to us. . W ith tho rapid growth of the metropo­ lis It to not a long look nhead until she ■ WTT1 be tfie first city of the world. This would certainly I»e the case If the con­ tiguous population of north Jersey could be counted. Now that this popu­ lation Is so rapidly Increasing the ques­ tio n really becomes important. Should there be tunnel or bridge com­ munication w ith Staten Island there to sure also to be a rush of home seekers lu that direction. Here the uorth Jer­ sey problem Is absent for the ^reason that Staten Island to TlTfêTftî/" rfî>stllng under the New York wing. The pro­ posal to connect Manhattan aud Stateq islands, however, recalls a rather In­ teresting fact. It was the original Idea to build the big city on Staten Is­ land rather than on Manhattan. The day Is not dtotnut when it w ill cover both. It seems that there is to be no end o t tall hntiding». No sooper are the Sing­ er building and the Metropolitan tower finished, each In Its turn the tallest habitable structure In the wortd. than there to a proposal for the loftiest ho­ tel. Plaus are already tiled for this. It Is to be on the corner of Forty-sec­ ond street and Madison avenne. over­ looking the Grand Central station, to to contain thirty-one stories and to to be 377 feet in height. The obvious thing for a punster to say to that this to a move to have the hotels ns tall as their prices; bill, ns a matter of fact, it to only one more effort of the American spirit to express Itself In superlatives. We have got to have the biggest things all along the line, so why not the big­ gest hotels? The subway question, like the weath­ er. we have with us always. Its pres­ ent status Is that the Interbocongh com­ pany has the proverbial dog In the manger run nnder the feed box and yelping for mercy. When tho McAdoo company proposed to build hew sub­ ways with private capital the Interbor­ ough blocked the game, and now that the city to endeavoring to have Its debt lim it raised that It may do the building the Interboroagh through, certain serv- Icenble legislators Is blocking that also. Some day the strap hangers’ brigade w ill do the Young Turk act and make tho sultan of tho subway look like Ab­ dul Hamid. W h ile - on this subterranean theme, a rather amusing thing to happening. For years many of as have howled for able doors In the subway cars.
