His friend wnked once. grinmcd know

about it.
The Broadway underground railway and
arcade, bill has PASSED the New York lrgi>
laturr and one of the greatest engineering
schemes Of the century will probably b"
begun in short time. Mr.. jerome Fa,S-
Ter. who for many years was Identified with
the growth uf Springfield and with her
manufacturing Industries. is a prominent
mrubrr "f the company. The bill WAS
vetoed last year by Governor Hill. and tn"
action of the Governor on the bill which
has again passed the legislature i, awaited
with great interest.
had long interview with Mr.. FaSSlcr
last summer on the features of the bill.
He expressed himself with great mdgna-
tinn ON the veto Of the bill by Governor
Hill. and said that the Arcade would
surely be- built sooner or later. The pro
posed arcade. tunnel under Broadway would
extend under that street for five miles Of lis
length. The proposed cost of the work Is
from $1,000. 600 10 $1,000. 900 per mile.
This seems like an enormous cNprnS" but
the receipts from the road would undOubt-
eddy justify it, and make the road one of
the most valuable pieces of property in the
whole world. Mr.. FaSSleT has entered into
the project heart and soul and spends much
of his time in the Burrel building on Broad
way. where the plans are kept He showed
me the plans for the work. of Which the
company has a large number Every foot
of the work is deliberately planned in these
specifications and the work could be com
mrnced tomorrow The bu>inr> of the city
would not be interferrd with in the least
as fast n the tumnrllng proceeds the sup
ports will be put in. All the dirt will he
removed in carts aS fast a. dug out. The
railway will be conducted with the same
y stem as that of the elevated roads. The
stations will bee placed at intervals of sey-
eral blocks. and will be reached by stair
ways descending from the payemeutS.
There can be no doubt that New York is
destined 10 become the largest city in the
world, and that there will be more pressure
on Broadway than on any street in the
world. In time, the street cars which now
occupy it, will have 10 give way. The
i,,I.4V
Broadway is, therefore. OF the most vital
interest To the metropolis. Springfield will
watch the progress of the enterprise with
the greatest interest ON account of the con
nectiun of one Of her best known citizens
with it.
