A SUGGESTION

To TIE EDITOR OF TEE HERALD
- Permit me to suggest simple plan for rapid
transit among its advantages perfect ventilation,
light and safety. Select one Of the avenues rs
the route. EXcavate the first two blocks to the
depth of eleven leet as to clear the sewers, &c.
and OF sufficient width to lay two tracks. Wall up
the sides with stone to rise two feet above the
level OF the street. SurmOunt the wall with
neat, strong iron railing. Lay temporary racks,
excava:e next two blocks, using dummy engines
and cars ~ convey dirt to the opening to Oe taken
away by morse cars, and 70 brIog IN stone and ma
terIal required. Finish each twU blocks before COM
mencing the next. Bridge the street crossings to
rise about TWO feet ia the centre rhe building OF
TINS route by sections would not interrupt street
frame. IL Will be an open, hgnt, airy route. Be-
hevlng that the HERALD will be instrumental IN
the selection OF the plan and III the ACCOMPLISH
ment oil rapid transit. respectfully submit TINS
plan ior your approval anu opinion. Respectfully,
