sformation in theBorough of Queens. As stated in the articles by Mr. Wheatlyduring the early part of this year on the passenger traffic prob-lem of Greater New York, two important physical connectionsare under way between Long Island City and ManhattanBorough. One of these is the four-track tunnel which is beingbuilt by the Pennsylvania Railroad between Thirty-FirstStreet, Thirty-Second Street, Thirty-Third Street and Thirty-Fourth Street in New York and Long Island City. As thistunnel will connect Long Island City with the Rapid Transitsubway in New York, it will make this suburb as easy of accessas any section of the upper part of Manhattan Borough. The other connection is the Blackwells Island Bridge,which will extend from the corner of Second Avenue andFifty-Ninth Street to a point near Jane Street and JacksonBoulevard in Long Island City. This is very near the junctionof what is known as the Dutch Kills line, and the JacksonAvenue line of the New York & Queens County Railway.
