Hudson Tunnel To Stimulate Other Projects
ENDS FIRST YEAR SFCt KSSFl'L LY: SHOWS NEED FOR MODERN HIGHWAYS.
One of the most striking products of this motor age has ju-t completed its first year of usefulness. This is the Hudson vehicular tunnel which gives
New York City a safe, high speed out-:jump

a half million passenger cars, trucks ami liu-s s traveled through thi- concrete encasted tube unmindful of th,' Hudson river overhead. Spaced 75 feet <>i more apart, these motor vehicles passed through the tunnel at speeds not exceeding 30 miles an hour. Of all the features that make the tunnel a tribute to the engineers who planned and built it, perhaps none is more significant than the ventilation. F’or the most part the washed air in the tunnel is a- pure or more pure than the ail on the open streets. Tests have shown that the quantity of automobile exhaust gas present is usually le-s than one half of the low adopted
standard.
I'he Hud-on vehicular tunnel bears out the piorept “make no little plans”. In 1919 when the tunnel was planned for operation in 1924, it was courgeously estimated that the traffic for that year would he 5,600,000 vehicles. F'ortunately, the tunnel was designed for a much greater traffic, and now engineers estimate that by 1934 its capacity of about 20,000,000 vehicles yearly will have been reached. The true significance of the Hudson tunnel lies in the demonstration that cities can successfully invest in modern appliances for the accommodation of the ever prolific automobile. The in automobile sales within the
