WASHINGTON MARKET IMPROVEMENTS.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Thousands of people come pouring into
New-York every day and return every evening They
must cross West, Washington and other streets and
since they in such crowds they completely stop the
traffic. While boat-load is poured out tho police must
stand guard and protect them while they pass. What is
the effect OF thisi boaoad at COrtlandt-st. stops
the traffic 1--WE minutes; then Lioertys does the
same and then Barclayst has turn, which is followed
bya stop Chambers-s BY this time blocking OF traffic
has taken place. and before 1t has fully passed other
boatloads arrive and the stops repeated Thus day
by day the great thOrougharcs arc blocked at time
when they needed. and business simpeded not
only In New-York. but much throughout the country
Some one should ind remedy for this difficulty am
not great engineer but since the Crystal Palace was
designed by gardener II may be possible that sng
gcst plan worthy OF consideration. Some OF those
ferryboats two stories high Let them all be made
that way, and then tho ferry arranged that
from the upper stories OF the boats out
upon elevated passageway which should be continued
across aud along street until it reaches Broadway
such superstrcure would not be expensive, and there
Just about enough for 10 to pass under the eeva
ted railroads
There f. one other improvement greatly needed, and
that is at Washington Market In city wherc there are
fine specimens OF high buildings and where land is
very valuable, Is almost astonishing that such
building the one Just finished Fulton Market should
be built. There are good why very high
buildings should be constructed in the lower part OF the
city than up at the Park Then how can Washington
Market be improved to the best adyantagei Let the
railroad which Is 10 pass under the Hudson River come
down under the market and have large depot such as
finds under the great market at Paris. Properly
made cement walls will take care or the water. The
supersrucure upon these walls should be three or four
stories high; yes, five six stories, II please, or
even as high as THE TRIBUNE building. The walls OF
this building should be made the same on the inside as
on the outside and finished In the way gutless OF
plaster There should boa wagondrive from the street
Into the building and from the first 10 the second story
and from the second the third story All the floors
should be fire and water proof. All tho furnishings
should be OF on elevators for freight and others for
passengers; beef wholesale the first story, on the
second and mutton, aud the stories above for re-
taers such market by the city would induce other
to put fine buildings IN that neigh
bOrhOod and thus the city would DO greatly improved.
Enforce the law against the sidewalk hucksters and
pc Them 20 into the building furnished for them Pull
down the old sheds. Who're could an honest man DO
found who would put up such binding without bank
