The problem of establishing a means of communi cation between New York city and thie New Jersey side of the river, so as to make it possible for vehicles to cross from one State to the other Without depending upon the cumber some and -antiquated- ferry system, has formed the subject nf a careful investigation and study by.' the.

Nineteen loaded freight cars, with contents, were destroyed. The suffra' gettes "arson squad" is suspected. The fire was incendiary, because the firemen discovered it was started simultaneously in three parts of tue building. Earlier in the night fire was started in another yard, appar ently to divert attention from tha principal scene of the incendiaries' operations. Public School Burns.. Aberdeen, Scotland, May 3.

The report of the commission does not favor the plan : -of building a bridge. The cost of such a .structure is conservatively estimated by the ex perts at $42,000,000 and it is quite possible that unforseen complications would increase the cost considerably. Owing to unfavorable conditions it would be practically impossible to construct the . bridge where it would fulfill its object of relieving the con gestion of traffic between New York city and New Jersey. In-view of these facts the commission recommends the construction of two or more tunnels between the congested business sec tions of New York city and the New Jersey side of the river.
