THE BROADWAY RAILROAD.
New YoRK, Feb. 10. 1879.

New YonK. Feb. 49, 1879.
To THE EpIron OF THE HERALp:-
believe Jordan l.. Mott to be earnest. upright
public officer. but If he don't stop to reflect on SC
important public measure as the construction of
surface railroad In lower Broadway he may. presi
dent Of the Board Of Aldermen. help to do ire
parable injury to the inhabitants of New York.
That the heavy property holders on Broadway. be-
low Fourteenth street, have generally resolved to
facilitate or even advocate the early construc.
ton Of o railroad past their property with
view to drawing back to that thoroughfars
the trade that is being diverted from IL
by both horse car and rapid transit facilities,
is think. foregone conclusion; but In doing this
they ought to be exceedingly careful not to create
still another troublesome and expensive monopoly.
What New York wants Is cheap and convenient
methods Of transit. both the surface aud above it;
but what they don't want is neither tho trouble OF
changing cars at Seventeenth street or Fourteenth
street their way up town. the expense OF pay
ing two fares place oil one when destined either
for upper Broadway or its contiguous cross streets
for the Grand Central Depot Central Park; and.
what Is more tine people ought not to permit any
little knot of speculative gentlemen to
any such franchise as the introduced yes
tcriay by Mr.. Mott. and which was referred
to tho Railroad Committee of the Board of Aldermen.
II we are to have horse railroad in lower Broad
way, and think are, by all means let 1t be
structed by one or more or the existing lines which
ply between Union square and the Central Park;
and then allow at least two of such comprehensive
upper broadway line and the Fourth avenue lne for
instance-to run on lower Broadway in common. on
condition that they will comply with the terms con.
templatcd III the resolutions offered by presidents
Mott and further that they will stipulatc, in adj
vance, not to charge moro than five cent fares be-
tween tho Battery aud Central Park and vice versa.
This would give the hundreds Of thousands of our
inhabitants. who live above Fourteenth street,
but who do business below that street,
still another convenient method OF reach
ing Their respective homes and PLACES OF
business without change of cars, and all such facii
tics invariably travel and. unquestionably.
would also materially increase the receipts OF tho
railroads that allowed TO participate in the use
| am aware that the Fourth avenue line still adj
heres to its six cent fare; but 1t would doubtless
be only glad to reduce 1t to five cents to and from
the depot il not to Central PARK. provided this
made condition OF participation In this highly adj
yantapcous new line. II 1t would not do IL, how
ever the Third line would only be too glad to
embrace the opportunity.
President Mott should see to IL that get another
convenience, instead OF Inconvenience, IL we are
really to have u surface railroad far famed
