Miss Callle Hoke Smith Is the

But diverging from the question

many of the world's greatest politic

SHAKING UP N. Y. TOPOGRAPHY
Here's man with a working
plan to put Manhattan and Brook
lyn on the eame Island, move New
York Bay to Sandy Hook, elimi
nating that latter extremity entire
ly, add sixty to one hundred miles
to the city's waterfront, and give
New York filly square miles of ad
ditional lands, tho sale of which
would wipe out both tho city and
Slato stand:;. debt an this for
$600.000 000, and he'd only need
ten years to do It.
This man Is T. Kennard Thomp
son, consulting engineer at 60
ChurCh street, and the basic key to
his entire project Is the building of
n new Bast River, Mr. Thompson
would pinch off this formidable ar
tery of navigation at Hell's Gate
and shoot it down to the sea be
tween Flushing and Jamaica bays.
New .York would have on Its hands
several perfectly good suspension
bridges, which only cost several hun
dred millions, but they aro a neg
ligible quaptity, compared with the
ultimate benefits to the city, one of
which he declares Is a population of
10.000.000 In s few years.
Mr. Thompson has been building
big bridges and skyscrapers until
his "say-so" Is listened to by engi
neers of hlgh standing. He's a hard
headed thinker, and while the great
est solver of construction riddles
merely Rasped at his project they've
come dow-n to serious thought about
it. Mr Thompson laid his plan
before Mayor Gaynor. He confident
ly expects the public will be clam
oring for hli panacea for Us sen
front Ills within a few years.
"I know that I will be accused of
being a dreamer without an ounce
of practical ense." said Mr. Thomp- fUM
son. "When 1 (tret talked about fil
my Ideas o men of standing 1 was ffll
laughed at. But the more theso fill
men think of the proposition the fljU
better they like it. F have found jr
that the bigger the men the more iifll
they think of the proposition."
The plan In brif follows: f I
Build a sea wall from the Battery at j
to within a mile and a quarter of !Jf
Staten Islund. H
Build a sea wall from the v nd of fjf I
this new Battery to South Brook- JjfJ
l n. WL I
Bui!d a sea wall across the East I
River at Hell Gate. Wl
Reclaim the betl of the East ; w I
River and all that part of tho bay 3p
south of the present Battery and ' ffi
between the propesed sea whI's and ffl
Brooklyn, about ten square miles r.U
In (
Construct a new East River. S00
ards wide and AO feet deep be- vH
tween Flushing and Jamaica bays. Jl
Fill in Sandy Hook.
Build a new island between Sandy (Jjr i
Hook and Coney Island. wf J
Construct a tunnel between the Si J
new Batter' and Staten Island. 'Be!!
If carried out this scheme would M j f
add fifty square miles to the area jjll 1
of the City, and nearly all of this fll
new land would be In the most ,il- Jjfjl '
uable tts of the Greater City, :h .
so Mr Thompson declares. He ml .J
thinks that at least SL'.SOO.Ono.OOO
would be added to the taxable val- iK J
lies In New York from tbo new land ,W j
alone. In addition to th)s the easy ml
Completion of the tunnel to connect 1m!
with Staten Island would Increase W
the taxable alius of the BorOUgh
of Richmond flvs times, or ttOB jf j
$50 000.000 to $500,000,000, a net Ij j
gain of $150,000,000.
