a was In the lowly all the for the away, in held is sacred the on survived Tors and in of ENGINEERS REPORT ON MARGINAL R'WAY; TO COST $12,000,000 President Davis Confident Government Will Act Favorably Big Brooklyn Project. President James Sherlock Davis of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, who in May last expressed an unlimited faith in the early approach to a favorable decision by the Railroad Administration in the Brooklyn Marginal Railroad project, is just as optimistic today as he was then that the under. taking will be acted upon favorably by the Federal authorities. The first report of the sub-committee of engineers, which has been making a study of the whole problem since last May, nas made its final report on the first section, from Wallabout to the Long Island Railroad Terminal at Bushwick, and sent the same to Regional Director of Railroads of the East A. H.

Smith, and it has just been sent by him to Borough President Riegelmann, who says that in the next few days he will confer with Director Smith. The following comprises the essential portions of the report: For possible construction and operation, the territory from 65th st, to Long Island City has been divided into three districts, District No. 1-From Long Island City to the U. S. Navy Yard.

U. District No. 2-From S. Navy Yard to the Gowanus Canal. District No.

3-From the Gowanus Canal to 65th st. It was decided to contine the first investigation to District No. 1, and after a study was made of the it conditions, was found that the construction of a suitable crossing of Newtown Creek would be too expensive for the amount of business to be handled, and the territory from the intersection of Green and Wests sts. to the Bushwick Yard of the Long Island Railroad was substituted for the Newtown Creek crossing; the territory from the U. S.

Navy Yard to the Bushwick Yard was substituted for District No. 1, and this report considers only that district. It is proposed to construct a double track, electrically operated railroad. generally located in the streets Yard of Brooklyn, front the U. S.

Navy at Flushing to the Bushwick Yard of the Long Island R. R. at Montrose distance of about miles. Topographical and business conditions require that the main tracks and some industrial sidings be located in some streets now partially occupied by the tracks of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, Washington from Flushing ave. to Kent Kent from Washington ave.

to the junction of Kent ave, and Franklin near North 14th Meeker from Bridgewater st. to Newtown Creek, and crossing the tracks of that company at Division Franklin Manhattan Greenpoint Metropolitan ave. and Grand st. location requires the removal of the existing tracks of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in Washington Kent ave. and Meeker the discontinuance of operation over its tracks across Kent ave.

at South Eighth Broadway, Grand st. and across West st. at Greenpoint with the construction of two tracks for that company in Wythe between South Eighth st. and Broadway. "It must be borne in mind," says the report, "that the past and present facilities afforded on Newtown Creek have been and are inadequate for the business, a large proportion of which originates in this territory and is distributed to a wide area.

With this proposed construction a quicker and better service could be rendered in this locality, thereby decreasing to a large extent the present congested conditions. "There are at present along the East River, between the U. S. Navy Yard Newtown Creek seven single float The report states the grades in some streets, notably Maujer would have to be lowered; some of the bridges rebuilt or strengthened--that at Washington av. $20,000, and the Meeker av.

bridge at a cost of $580,000. New float bridges, to accommodate greater traffic, would have to be built, and the freight yards enlarged. The main line, from the Navy Yard to Provost near Greenpoint would be constructed in improved streets, except at Franklin near N. 14th where one piece of unimproved property would be required. All of the property required has been included in the estimate at the aSsessed valuation.

The constuction cost is estimated to be $4,687,405. The committee reports these conclusions: "The present conditions, existing along the waterfront, are such that it would appear much saving in time and expense could be made by an operation which would centralize the receipts and delivery to this territory. via the water routes, where continued operation and free interchange of cars could be had on the land to reduce the unnecessary movements of both light and loaded cars by water. "The Lackawanna yard at the Wallabout Canal is small and does not admit of expansion: it would seem advisable that the Pennsylvania and the Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal consolidate in operation and the Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal to extend its operation and include a larger territory. "The construction of the Wallabout Terminal would assist the United States Navy Yard in the prompt disposition of material which it would vrequire while the construction of the Greenpoint Terminal would provide an easy outlet for industrials between the Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal and Newtown Creek, as well as any operation which might materialize from the Stute Barge Canal at Newtown Creek.

The proposed yard, connecting with the Long Island Railroad at Meeker ave. would reduce to a large extent the movement of materials which are now delayed by the conditions existing on Newtown Creek. along which much property has been allowed to lie unimproved until better facilities could be obtained. "The proposed connection with the Long Island Railroad at Bushwick yard would provide an outlet for production farther removed from. as well as, along Newtown Creek and service a territory which is almost entirely unimproved and practically with no facilities."

2, as follows: was in a drive a little over a week ago. Our battalion was ordered to capture d. ridge, and as we advanced we were caught in enfllade fire of machine guns and We had a hell of a fight but we won our objective. At first our major gave us up as captured and sent out two fightling patrols, who not only discovered that we had won our objective but found that we were in Jerry's trenches. "I feel now as though I could almost write a book on my first experiences in the lines.

I might tell you about some of the close escapes I had anyway. As our battalion neared the front line trenches we got quite a reception from Jerry's big guns. One shell landed about twenty-five feet to our left and as it exploded I stood stock still. If I had moved forward one pace, I think perhaps I would have been shipped to Blighty. I had another close call on the afternoon of the following day.

Plenty to eat, smokes, reading matter and movies every night and, furthermore, I'm not out in the cold trenches and won't be for a good while.

I'm enjoying high life now. "Well, as usual, yours truly pulled out lucky this time, too. One Of Fritzie's big shells landed only five feet from me and got a good many of the boys in the trench. I have a few good wounds in my left leg and arm which are getting on nicely.

In fact, by the time you get this I will be up and around.

"By the way, tell dad I have the French War Cross and the Cord of Valor. can't tell about them now, but will do so when I can see you, which I expect won't be very long now.

I was hoping for a D. S. but it isn't here vet. However, I'm out of thi danger zone. I'm satisfied.".
