Some of the Dream _‘Vhat Are Now
Being Talked About. ‘1
if all the rumors of big civil en-
gineering works, which have beendrl
the air about this section of New
England. should be brought to a head
and started all at once, there would be
little rest. for the weary» in this sec-
tion.oTlrere has been talk of a. canal
to extend the whole widtlf‘ of Rhode
island to enter Little Narragansett bay
and proceed to the peaceful waters'of
Fisher‘s island sound. The government
has recently made a number of con-
. tracts ,for big improvements on that
island. There have been rumors of
making Watch Hill a big fortification
of big, heavy distance rifles; And now
comes a rrrmor that Is still of a bigger
kind of a proposition.‘ ,
it Is said that there are. plans under
foot for bridging Long Island sound,‘
from Watch Hill to Fisher’s Island,
and then to the series of islands which
» stretch across the Sound.
In an editorial of the Worcester Tel:
cgrnm, that paper says about the pro- ‘
00!
A trip by railroad from Worcester
to the coast of Rhode Island and
thence by means of viaduct: and a
tunnel to the eastern point of Long
Island and into New York overland is
The trains
are not. ready yet, but they may be
running in five years. The plan is .
said to be more feasible than that by»
which a railroad is being extended
across the keys of Florida well on I
toward Cuba. Twenty miles. is the. ,
distance from a handy point on the
Rhode Island coast across the watsr~
to the tip of'Long Island. Some of-
that distance might be covered by a.
series of concrete bridges connecting.
islands. and then a. tunnel could .be ;
dug for the trains to pass under 3 nar-,.
row strip of Long Island second to thee
island that has been used by New
York city to; a. pasture so long that
it has never eshbllshed the reputa-
tion for progress that it wants. The '
efforts to establish manufacturing.»
there have been discouraged by the
shipping facilities. .By tying their is"
land direct. to the New England shore
by means of a railroad. the people of
Long Isl 1111 have an idea. that they
would b getting into the world on
their own account without bowins,
their way through the big city that.
overshadows them. They claim. that .
it. would benefit New England as well ,
as the islandn» that business of all.
kinds would b ciliiated. .
This plan has been worked out by
one of the famous engineers of this .1. _
country. and he and others in his line
claim that it can be done at so can.»
peace that would make it profitable. .
for maintenance. It Would shorten
distances by many miles. New rig
land now has to go some more an;
100 miles around to get to sections
of New York and further to reach.
Long Island. Even more than 200.-
miles of. travel would be saved for at
great deal of the freight that In etc»
changed between the industries. ofr
New England and the territory to
east of New York' city. Then there is
an ambitious plan to save a long haul .
of height from sections of New Eng- .
land dos good for Europe. It that-
were taken from- the eastern p. of.‘
Long Island it would have: t ~rbe'.‘

ships. There might also be saved the»
heavy expense of New York port
charges. which have been the worst. of .i
the details that handicap shippl g.
from this part of theuoountry :,
