SURPRISED AT RAPID TRANSIT PLANS.

COMMENTS on THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
TIE LINE TO GHE GRAND CENTRAL DEPOT
That part of the report of the Rapid Transit
Commissioners which lays out route for proposed
underground and elevated railroad from the Forysec
opd Street Depot to the City Hall Park parallel to and
between the Sixth Avenue and the Third Avenue Roads
was a subject of general conversation aud comment
Yesterday 1t is proposed to run rapid transit
trains from whore the Hudson River Railroad
crosses the northern boundary OF the city, by means OF
the Hudson River Road, TO the New-Hork and Harlem
Road by way OF the spuyten Duyyil and Port Morris
Road It's then proposed TO begin lowering tho grade
of the road some distance above the Grand Central
Depot. Trans then VIII pass under Forty
second-st into O tunnel extending beneath PARK
ave or Fourth-ave. 10 Thirty-tourth-st where
they viii emerge, and an up grade VIII
change the road from Underground 10 an
elevated one. The route then extends down Fourth
ave. by the east side of Unionsquare to Eishth-st.
At this point tie road into Laiayete-place, and
runs more than half OF the distance To CITY Hall PARK
parallel to and within a block of Broadway. Two de-
vations OF a block each are then made at Grand and
Pearl-sts. that the road enters ParkrOw through
Centre-st Thus on such road the trains leaving CITY
Hall will be able 10 run 10 the northern boundary OF the
city at lis intersection with either Hudson River
the Harlem Railroads.
The plan OF elevated road running in connection
with the lines cOuyergng at the Grand Central Depot
was suggested some years ago to Commodore Wander
bit by prOpcrty-Owners III the Iwen]-ihld ana
Twenty fourth Wards. He thought iayorably Of the
idea but the matter was dropped on account Of the
difficulty getting satisfactory bill through the Leg
slature. The route proposed Is 10 be concident
with existing railroads above Forty-secOndst., and
since the Commissioners have power grant any
COMPANY that might he organized the right 10 run Its
trains on existing INES this route be made use
Of only by William Ii. Vanderbilt.
Comments were freely made yesterday on the uneI-
peced action OF the Commissioners in laying out new
rapid transit route from the City Hall TO the Grand
Central Depot at the request Of Augustus schell,
Edwards Pierfepont and H. j. Jewett president OF the
Erie Road in OF the fact that the Commissioners
were appointed with the understanding that they
20 arrange the upper wards OF the city Mayor
Cooper Was considerably surprised at the report OF the
Commissioners He had supposed they would confne
their aDOrs laying out rapid transit lines for the
Twenty third and TweDty-fOurth Wards. The laying
out Of new Lies making changes In existing routes
WAS not he says anticipated He will not send the re-
port TO the Board Aldermen to-day. but viii hold 1t
Tor further consideration. .
