tween san Diego ana uoronaao. I also think it would greatly benefit Coronado merchants.”Warner Butler, 1048 Adella, sctssor-sharpener: “The tube would be too expensive. Coronado isn’t big enough for it I like the town the way it is.”John J. PiotrowskI, 123 I Ave., meat market owner: “Lots of people in San Diego never come to Coronado because of the high ferry fare. It also handicaps Coro* nadans wanting to go to San Diego more often. I feel that a tube-would be the ideal thing for Coronado.”Mrs. John R. Kilby, 1114 EighthSt., housewife: “The tube will bring too much riff-raff from San Diego. Since the war brought in so much traffic, Coronado has not been safe from burglaries as it was before. The tube will make this situation worse. Anyhow, Coronado has more business now than it can handle.”C. Ward Jaques, 1S7 Orange Avenue, sales manager: “I thinkit is the only solution. It will bring San Diego closer to Coronado. It will also enable Coronado to get more of its share of tourist traffic than at present.”Rear Adm. A. H. Gray, ISN, (Retired), 1038 E Ave: “I prefer the ferry to a tube as I feel the tube would make Coronado too much of a thoroughfare for its own good. I also believe the coat of construction would be such that no permanent reduction in transit costs would result—unless the tunnel was subsidized at a financial loss by those paying for its construction.”Don Scott, 432 E Street, dance studio instructor: “I’m for it. Forone thing it would solve traffic tieups between the two cities. It would also bring more people to Coronado. It would make Coronado and San Diego comparable to the ideal relationship enjoyed between Alameda and Oakland, and would put us on a par with other progressive U.S.- cities which have solved geographical problems which were detrimental to their growth and prosperity.”
