Tl THIS STSTE President Van Name of Rich mond Outlines Kill-Von Kull Situation (By Evening New* Staff Correspondent.! TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 9—There is considerable agitation just at the present time for a tunnel or a bridge to span Kill von Kull between Stat en Island and New Jersey. Accord ing to all reports those in favor of the movement desire that the bridge or tunnel be built across the Kill von Kull in the vicinity of Elizabeth. Borough President Van Name of Richmond, recently presented the situation very concisely as follows: While we are politically a uart of the city of New York, we are twenty five minutes from Manhattan and twelve minutes from Brooklyn, but even the inadequate and antiquated ferry service that provides our only connections with the Jersey shore we are only five minutes distant from you. With modern bridges or tunnels replacing these ferries Stat en Island will become in effect a • part of the mainland. They will open up to us the country to tha west, and they will open up to yoa New Jersey our unequaled harbor facilities, so that the wheels of your great railroads will touch the keels of the world’s vessels at our piers.” The following recently published Jn the Elizabeth Journal is creating considerable favorable comment thrmurKmif1 tho Talan/I ■ "Those who have studied the ge ographical relation of Staten Island to Manhattan and to Brooklyn, and Its relation at the same time to New York Bay and to future shipping possibilities, cannot fail to realize that the future development of the metropolis as the greatest American seaports reaches at least considera bly in that direction. ‘If they look further and note the direct relation of the great mainland of New Jersey to Staten Island they cannot fail to be im pressed with the proposal that the Island should be linked more close ly with this state by means of ade quate tunnels or bridges. “The union of New Jersey with Stateh Island in the manner propos ed would greatly serve the inter ests of both as was repeatedly point ed out at the conference held last week. It would give the Island a direct connection with the manifold resources of a wide area of the coun try, from which it is now very lurge lp cut off. It would give New Jer sey a close connection with rapidly developing harbor facilities. It would greatly expand what now seem to be cramped facilities for both the Island and the mainland. "New Jersey would be so connect ed with Staten Island that it would reach, in all else than a political manner, out into lower New York bay and the ocean. Staten Island. • on the other hand, would reach far back into the harbor of the nation. It would be no longer an isolated island. "It augurs well for the proposed plan that such an enthusiastic atti tude was assumed toward it by all who participated in the inspection tour and the conference that was had between oflicials of Jersey muni cipalities and" other interested in dividuals and those of the island and of the metropolis." Although there is considerable agitation for a bridge or tunnel be tween Elizabeth and the island, there is also agitation for a more direct way of getting from Totten ville to Perth Amboy and some argue that if there is a concerted effort put forth to build a bridge connecting the State of New Jersey and the island, it should be built be tween this place and a point across the sound in Perth Amboy. WANT MONEY TO PUT ALL SCHOOLS IN GOOD SHAPE [By Evening News Staff Correspondent.} TOTTEN VILLE, Aug. 9:—To see that enough money is allowed this year "to put every school building In the five boroughs in good condi tion" is the promise which has been made by Chairman Samuel M.

MUNICIPAL CAR LINE PROTESTS IN RICHMOND [By Evening News Staff Correspondent.] TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 9.—Consid erable agitation on the part of em ployes on the municipal car lines operating in the Island, who claim that the company is not living up to its agreement, promises to open up the discussion which started imme diately after the opening of the car lines. One of the main causes of complaint is the matter of back pay which the motormen say is owing them. When the line opened- it is claimed that the men were promised 57 cents an hour. The first pay received was at the rate of 50 cents an hour. At that time it was said that the men would receive back pay at the rate of seven cents an hour.

I was well all the time, did all my work up to the last day, and had a natural birth. Everybody who knew me was surprised, and when they ask me what made me strong I tell them Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Use this testimonial at any time. ’’—Mrs.Elizabeth Smart, 142 W. Sixth St., Lowell, Mass. This experience of Mrs. Smart is surely a strong recommendation for Lydia E.
