St Tunnel Plan Issued a statement yesterday in which it went on record as indorsing the Tri-Boro Bridee and the 38th st. tunnnl. in nart the statement says: "Those who are studying the growth and development of Long Island can see the necessity, in the very near future, for crossings at half-mile in tervals from the Brooklyn Bridge on the south to Forth Totten and Fort Hamilton on the Sound.

"The Increased demand for property in Queens which would immedi ately follow the construction of the Tri-Boro Bridee and the 38th ct tunnel would result in tremendous growth industrially, commercially and residentiary throughout the entire boreuh. bringing immediately an enormous increase hi assessed valuation of real property and Improvements which would, in the opinion of many, more than offset the city for the cost of these improvements. "The Chamber of Commerce of the Boro of Queens, as well as many other commercial organizations, lias recognised for many years the need lor additional vehicular facilities. The city officials hive been face to face with, the problem on many occasions, but they have had the added responsibility ot determining how these facilities were to be financed. "The Qucensbcro Chamber has taken the position that the Tri-Boro Bridge end a connection in the vicinity of 38th Manhattan, whether by or tunnel should be provided, as the first facilities to improve the present conditions.

New Bridge Only Solution. "This conclusion Mas been arrived at, notwithstanding the upper deck roadway on the Queensboro Bridge which has been made possible by Mayor Walker and the Board of Estimate through the efforts of Commissioner ot Plant and Structures Albert Goldman. New facilities are the only solution to the cross-river traffic problem. "The Committee on Highways and Bridges of the City Plan and Survey Committee appointed by Mayor Walker recommended In addition to these two facilities, the Narrows Bridge connecting Brooklyn with Staten Island, a bridge or tunnel In the vicinity of 8th Manhattan, a connection from 8'Jth Manhattan, to Broadway, Astoria, as well as a connection from College Point to the Bronx.

In no part of the City of New Yorlt has a greatest transformation taken place la the last year or so than in Queens. Mile after mile of solid brick apartment houses, one and two-family dwellings, business blocks and other improvements can seen where a decade ago were farms and long stretches of vacant land yield ing nothing. Thousands ot families in moderate circumstances, forced by the mounting costs of rents In apartment houses In Manhattan and the Bronx, nd from the thickly settled nelgt hoods ot tills boro, have been movv in hordes Into the attractive ne- homes in Queens, where there is plenty of playground space, healthy surroundings, room for a garage, and an environment that makes for better home conditions.

Speculative builders of one and two-family houses were responsible for the phenomenal progress of the boro as a community of homes. One of the most remarkable developments ot the past year is in the Laurelton section, rroro than 800 dwellings have been erected, and the colony is still growing. Where Home Building Is Active. The rapid growth of Forest Forest Hills Gardens, Kew Gardens, Springfield and Bayslde with a hitl -class development is one of tH salient features of Queens as a community cf homss. Tr.s growth of Flushing has been principally In the Broadway, Bays'de and Little Neck sections, benefited by the Improved transit facilities, nnd particularly by the subway now extending to Main Flushing.

The dwellings being built In thes localities are of attractive architect ture, well constructed and equlpicd with every known device for th3 comfort of the housewife. The builders In laying out their develcnmnU have provided ample ground for garage space some of the houses hivs garages attached and thereof enough land set apart for lawns nn garden spots.

Bassett in a recent article stated that "back of It (Shore rd.) lies a large, finely developed home section all zoned as This statement is not correct. A glance at the present amended area district map rat vnat tnere are out nine blocks along the entire frontage of the Shore rd.

that have an zone to their back. The remaining 20 blocks fronting, on the drive are backed bv a ame, and in 12 of these blocks the zor4 Jms encroached 100 feet in the rear, with the result that many Shore rd. residents now have apartment houses on the same block with them, massive structures, with in cinerators and oil heating systems tnac require no garoage or CJU removal. Block after block of Shore rd. property la now lying vacant and neglected, because the owners cannot afford to build the type of house required by the present zone law.

Thus the "hinterland" enjoys the view because the frontage is vacant. These the conditions that those objecting to me proposes amendment want to continue. From the petitions' filed with the Board ot Estimate in favor of the proposed change it Is apparent that the amerdment is desired not by any group of speculators or politicians, as has been alleged, but by the real old-time residents who have lived for many years on the Shore rd. These people are now finding themselves in an apartment house zone, whether they JJfcp Jt nr not. Immense multi-family structures have been erected on Marine at their back doors, shading their lawns and depreciating the value of their homes.

Why should bona fide property owners on Shore rd. be penalized bv restrictions which now provide Shore rd. frontage for apartment houses erected at the rear of thrtr gardens? At the present time on Shore rd. In the restricted tone area are located a private hospital, a school for girls nd kJnderTarten school for boys, all operated for revenue. If private Interests ar permitted to onerate schools and hospitals In a hlsthly restricted iqne.

Is it not evidence of the fact thnt conditions have changed within that tone? What could more adversely adnct the general tone of a neighborhood than to have commercial enterprises wUhln Its area? Boro President Byrne has recognized the necessity for a change, and has anproached the problem in a comprehensive and farsWhted man-nrr, and his nlan must p-rs'-cirlly have the amnvM and M-r of evry ri'h a of civic pride and public in By JOHN J. MORRIS, Boro Attorney, I-ong Resident of Bay Ridge. The Board of Estimate has now pending before It a plan for rezonlng Shore which has not only the approval of Boro President Byrne and the committee on city plan and Improvement but also the approval of the majority of the residents along that famous drive. This plan would enlarge the scope of the change In accordance with petitions recently filed with the board by property owners along the Shore rd. and adjacent areas.

It would ohange from an to a area district the territory bounded by Shore a line 100 feet north of tho prolongation of the northerly line of 76th a line 100 feet east of Shore the center line of 86th st, the center line of Narrows a line midway between 87th st. and 88th st, a line 100 feet west of Colonial a line 100 feet west of Marine the center line of 3d a line midway between 100th and 101st sts. and the center line of 4th ave. That this change should have the approval of the residents along the Shore rd. is only natural, In view oi the fact that no dwellings characteristic of the neighborhood have been erected there for a number of yean.

On the contrary, a number of the former show places of the drive are now being used for commercial enterprises. Many wealthy property owners have abandoned their homes and numerous parcels of land are lying vacant. The former home of William F. Kenny is now the Shore Road Academy, a day school for girls. The Shepard mansion, for vears tlie show place of the drive, has been turned into a hospital.

The Shuttle-worth mansion houses a kindergarten school, while the famous Johnson house, overlooking the Narrows, has been lying idle, going to ruin since the death of Its owner, Charles J. Obermeyer, the late president of the Greater New Y( 8avlng BaJik. The proposed change has been necessitated to a great extent by the new standard of living that has conic about in recent years. People no longer desire large houses. They en-tall too many domestic responsibilities, chief among them the servunt problem, equently.
