From the foregoing estimates which may be seen are
based upon competent authority must be manifest 10
every person who will investigate this subject to
thoroughly undersand it, that the Broadway travel has
now increased to such an to render utterly i'm
practicable if not impossible, TO obtain eiecual relief
therefor by street railroads by any other know mode
Of conveyance that must turn ont at the ends of the
road to ranserthe from one track 10 return track
and stop or abate its regular and uniform speed TO receive
and to discharge its passengers and consequently that no
ADEQUATE relief be obtained for il except by adopting
the Elevated Railway projected by me, which does not
stop abate the regular speed of the passenger for
that purpose and yet receive carry and discharge at
