2 TllK BROOKLYN" DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, SUNDAY, JANUARY 30, 1921. 36 YEARS IN SERVICE OF CITY IS ENGINEER COMMERCE CHAMBER INDORSES ENGINEER'S PLAN FOR BROOKLYN PORT DEVELOPMENT MacSWINEY'S book DEMANDS COMPLETE FREEDOM FOR IRISH without letup. "Kngland will never again have such an easy battle," he says more than once. When Ireland tried for freedom in 1916.

she was without arms, without psychological preparation. Kvery day that goes by now, she is getting more and more of both. By remaining passive Ireland and England are drifting Into a conflict, which can be ended only by clear cutting away from the mother country or by lighting her in the open. There can be no neutrality while bound to her; so a military policy Is an eminently practical question. "To stand with England In any danger that threatens her will at Vsast as dangeroiia as a bold bid to break away from her." Such breaking awny MacSwinev did Proposed Industrial and Trunk Line Railways For Tri-Boro Freight Transportation Development i I Mil' Lhsr Board of Estimate's Chief Expert an Inventor of Note Live In BrookJyrv, Arthur S.

Tuttle, of 559 5th irrm was to succeed Nelson F. Lewis, retiring Chief Engineer of the Board of Estimate, at a salary of (12,000 a year, has been in the city's service since 1886. He was born in Burlington, In 1865. He received the degree of Bachelor of Science und Civil Engineer from New Tork University in 1885 and up until 1901 was engaged in the development of the Brooklyn water supply from surface and subsurface sources, during a considerable portion of this period ranking a principal assistant engineer. In 1901 he took charge of the Investigation of water supply in Hawaii, exploring it for an estimate of its value for power and irrigation purposes.

He acted for the Bishop estate, which owned the supply. The following year he returned to tho New York City service. From Assistant Engineer to Engineer in charge of tho Division of Public Improvements he rose to the post of Deputy Chief Engineer of tho Board of Estimate, which position ho held at the time of his elevation to tho Chief Engineer's berth. Tuttle has always been active In engineering circles In this State. Last year, In an address before tho Brooklyn.

Engineers Club, he aroused so much comment on tho Inadequate pay of engineers In the public service, which was then being stripped of good men by private corporations, that conditions were bettered within a short time after. Mr. Tuttle was then chairman of the Engineering Council's Committee on Classification and Compensation of Engineers. He has also been asked to servo In a similar capacity for the American Engineering Council. He is the Inventor of the Premier water meter for measuring the flow of water In large mains and the Eddy air valve for use on pipe lines.

In 1915 ho was chairman of the committee of engineers representing national and local professional engineering societies nt tho Constitutional Convention of the State of New York. Formerly he was president of the New York University flenernl Alumni Association, the New York University Engineering Alumni Association, the Municipal Club of Brooklyn and the Municipal Engineers of the City of New York. At present he Is a member of the New York University Council, tho American Society of Civil Engineers, in which society he has held the offices of director and the Engineers Club, the Brooklyn Engineers Club, the American Water Works Association, the Now England Water Works Association and the American Association of Engineers.

Many prominent In the political activities of the boro have promised to bo present. Scorns Compromise With British 1 and Says Resistance Must Be With Arms. Terence MacSwiney, lata Lord Mayor of Cork, self-starved in an English prison In protest against British authority over Ireland, writes like one from the land of the dead in "Principles of Freedom" (13. P. Dut-ton urging on his countrymen a steady resistance against the en- Lcre-aehnients and what he calls the tyranny of the British rule.

The book consists of urticifs written at different times during the four or live years immediately preceding his death, when the Irish opposition to England was growing more general and more clear. They ure apparently disconnected essays on various phases of the "principles of freedom, hut collected shortly before the authors Imprisonment with a view to being published in a volume, like the one now produced. "Tho basis of freedom, Moral force," "The Secret of strength," "Literature and freedom" nre among the subjects discussed. SuperllcUUly read they appear to be abstract discussions ot universal principles as they might be generally applied. Underlying every word and sentence of all the essays, however, is the unifying background of the Irish struggle to become free.

Such and such principles are enunciated, and all of them, it is plain, have been ut least highly colored by the watching and hoping nnd fighting to bring on a republic in Ireland. The conception of the sort of buttle, or war, which must be fought to compel the granting of freedom by the British Umpire, is everywhere in these essays of MacSwiney seen to be an idealistic one. There is to be no compromise with the British power. Complete freedom and nothing short of it will be accepted. But, on the other hand, in lighting for freedom the hands of the fighters must be clean.

The end does not justify the means. And when tho freedom of Ireland Is attained the new Ireland will be a better and more generous land to live in than any that has yet been found. "We l'lglit for "We fight for freedom," says. "Not for tho vanity of the world, not to havo a tine conceit of ourselves, not to be as bad, or if we prefer to put it so, as big as our neighbors. The Inspiration is drawn from a different element of our being." Himself and his party he lines up as belonging to the irrccon-cilables.

"Always an impossible, wild, foolish person," he says the irreconcilable Is, "and we often try to ex-pluin his reasonableness Instead of exulting in his for the true Irreconcilable is the simple lover of the truth." But from the abstract generul principles the author very soon comes down to considering the specllle prob lem, which Is the problem of the British rule In Ireland. (Irciit Britain he sees as tile ruthless governing Prince of Muehiavelll. "one candid writer," he snys, "Machlavelll, has put the imperial creed Into a book," extracts from which he gives to show "how ex-uctly they tit the Kngllsh occupation or Ireland." And this occupation, he says, must be understood to be "a thing bad In Itself, utterly wicked, to be resisted everywhere, fought without ceasing, renounced with fervor and without qiiHlliicalinn, as we have been tuUKht from the cradle to renounce the devil with ail his works und pomps." "We must take this exposition as the creed of the Kmpirc nnd have no truck with the Kmpirc. It should raise a smile to hear so often the prophecy that Ireland will he loyal to the Kmplre when she gets Home Kule. History and experience alike deny It.

Anyone who leads Ihe history of Ire land, who understands anything oft progress, who can draw any lesson from experience, must realize that the! idvent of Home Itule marks the begin- I ning of the end." lleslstnico Must Be Met With Arms. I Since otl.cr resistance, over many' centuries, has failed, resistance hi re- I after must be by arms, und must bo' ZZZZZZZL not consider either illegal or disloyal. ins cnapter on Loyalty stresses the loyalty to the Irish cause, which is the opposite to the British. Submission to the authority of the English he considered as blind submission to usurping power. "Illegitimate authority Is no authority at all," he quotes.

idea of power Involves the-Idea of right, without which it is mere, physical power; that is, force." And he concludes one chapter wits the statement that "WK stand on the ground that tho Kngllsh Government In Ireland is founded in usurpation and as such deny its authority. But if it be argued that a usurped authority gradually acquiesced In by the people ultimately becomes the same legitimate the reply is still clear. For ourselves we meet the assumption with a simple denial appealing to Irish history for evidence that we never acquiesced In the English usurpation." Wolfo 3nc His Hero. After the fact, after the death of MacSwiney advertised to the world as accomplished In the cause ot Irish freedom. It is easy to see In his writings evidences of his belief in high heroism even unto death.

His greatest hero, for whom he expresses unqualified admiration is Wolfe Tone, who died for Ireland. The woman who stands out most In all history for him is the wife of Wolfe Tone, who, when the crisis' not hold hint back from his work with clinging arms, but sent him forward to his work for the cause. And of Tone he suys what to him appears to be the greatest words of praise: "He died for his country; he died for the Republic!" These words, with the spirit of which some years after they were written he himself acted out when he, too, died. ARRIVALS AT LAKEWOOD (Special to The Eagle.)

Sullivan Suggests Marginal Railway Hroiji Bay Ridge to Flushing, Tulles to Richmond and Spur to Jamaica Bay. 1 Brooklyn and Queens at Present Isolated Solves Freight Transportation Problems. A con'iprchcnsive jilan for the development of railroad connections and freight terminal facilitios for the boros of Querns, Urooklyn nnd Richmond, endorsed by the commercial organizations of those boros, whs made public yesterday by the Urooklyn Chamber of Commerce. It is the work of Major' John V. Sullivan, an engineer formerly connected with the Board of Ksti'mute, who has had long experience In many of the principal traffic improvements about New York hfcrbor.

His report is given out just a week after the report of the New York-New Jersey Port nnd Harbor Development Commission. A year ago the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce organized a iri-bcro committee consisting of representatives of the yueensboro Chamber of Commerce, the Staten Island Citizens' Committee and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce to make a study of freight facilities, especially In the boro of Brooklyn, nd to work out a plan for the development of freight terminal conditions by connecting the railroad facilities of the three horos and also of the Bronx. A few months later the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce engaged Major Sullivan to assist this committee. His study of the situation results in pointing out these defects In Brooklyn and Queens: (a) Brooklyn anf. gueens in so far as railroad facilities are concerned are practically isolated and have no connections with any of the main trunk lines to the west und south.

(b) The two horos are Inadequately supplied with freight facilities. (c) Merchants and manufacturers the two horos are now compelled to handle goods by means of trucks, which makes the transportation of goods very expensive. (d) The present method of handling freight cars by car-float system Is too expensive and results in too much delay to shipments. le) The float-bridge system of handling cars requires the railroads to ship empties back to Jersey ami then reship them to other sections of the waterfront where manufacturers need empties. This defect alone results in shipping back to the Jersey rhore about 11,000 empty cars annually.

Marginal Hallway Among Suggested Itemed les. His suggested remedies tire: (a) The construction of a double track, electrically operated, marginal railway along the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront from Bay nidge on the south to Klushing Bay on the north. From this marginal railway spur tracks could be built to the large number of factories, so that the ears could be loaded at the factories and empties could In sent to other plunts the waterfront. (b The construction of twin tunnels from Bay Kidge near Fort Ham ilton under the narrows to the vicinity tif nosebank on Staten lelHiid. These tunnels could be connected on the Brooklyn side with the New York Connecting and Long Island Kullwuy extension at the foot of Cfith st.

(e) The construction of railroad tracks from the Staten Island end of the tunnel, across Staien Island, thence by bridges over the Kill van Kull to connections with the main trunk lines In Jersey. (dl The construction of a spur to i Ira Bay to he expanded Into a belt line around Jamaica Bay for the future development of the bay as a part of the Fort of New York. Advantages of Proposed The advantages of these improvements are: ti) Tiiis railroad connection would gives the horos of the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn und Richmond through rail Connections with the trunk lines on the mainland. (b) It would place the four horos on the main trunk Hues from New Kngland to the south ami west. (c The marginal railroad would give the Industries along the water- BR OOKLYN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Bcnova-crafxaw crr or aw vtt "(l) establishment of industrial districts under provision of law.

"(e) The use of part or all of the Army base, particularly the railway facilities, for rxpanding Brooklyn Indus! rles. "(f) The construction of railroad facilities that will permit of the co "(c) That new facilities const meted on modern lines be provided. "These latter for present heeds, especially in reducing lime and cost of delivery, anticipated growth and for attracting additional Industries. "(d) Increasing Hie facilities of the railways to the adjacent industries already established in the boro. "(e) of the industries now established along the Fast Itivrr It's What Others Say About Us That Counts News-, of American Legion Posts Of Brooklyn and Long Island front direct connections with the markets of the country.

(d) The railroad, connections would relieve congestion in the harbor and avoid tin' waste made necessary by the shipment of empty curs back and forth to the Jersey shore. The report recommends further the development of Industrial zones in sections yet undeveloped and along the waterfront which will bo limited to factory purposes, just as there are now residential zones limited to residential purposes. The report of Mn.l. Sullivan, which is approved by the Brooklyn ('number or Commerce, differs ill two pnrtle. nlars from the comprehensive plan laid down by the New York New Jersey port nnd Harbor Development i ommlsslon.

Differs From X. Y. and X. .1. Kiport.

la) Maj. Sullivan recommends a proposed marginal railroad along the entire Brooklyn and. Queens waterfront. The New York-New Jersey re port recommends merely the extension of spurs lending hack both ways from existing freight bridges. lb) Maj.

Sullivan's report provides for a tunnel under the Narrows und a railroad across Staten Island; while the New York-New Jersey report recommends a five-mile tunnel across lower New York May from ltidge to the Jersey mainland. (e) Maj. Sullivan's report contemplates the use of the freight tunnel, for a time at least, to supply rapid transit to Staten Island; the New York-New Jersey report makes no reference to the needs of passenger service -on Staten Island. "The prime needs of Brooklyn for industries, domestic development and the distribution of, food products," says Maj. Sullivan, "are rail connections to nil of the continental trunk lines by menus of an "Industrial Terminal System' embracing tin- entire borough, and to improve conditions and reduce costs, delays ami congestion.
