President Roosevelt is sorry that he cannot be present at the opening of the tunnel going under the Hudson River, but wishes to express his appreciation for the work that W. G. McAdoo has done on them. The tunnel and associated buildings were very difficult to construct, and they are a great achievement. The completion of this tunnel will bring New York and New Jersey closer together, and will be a boon to the American people.
