VIM. H. VANDERBILT, it appears,
does not propose to undertake per-
sonally the completion of a scheme
for an underground railroad from the
Forty-second street depot to the City
Hall, New York, although he has con-
sented to furnish Commissioner of
Works Campbell with all the infor-
nation in his power concerning the
plans and cost OF such a work. The
plans of the road were prepared by
the late Commodore Vanderbilt, and
the cost was estimated at from S.
100000 to 100000 The chief en-
glneering difficulty would be at Five
Points, where the road bed is below
the tide level. Com missioner Camp
bell and Mayor Ely are both favora-
bly, disposed toward an underground
road, but the latter thinks the true
solution OF the rapid transit problem
lies IN the completion of road
through Fourth avenue and the Bow
cry to the City Hall.
