Broadway is the principle thorough
fare Of New York City, and it is un-
doubtedly the longest street in the
world, for it continues up the whole
length of New York State and into
Canada. 1t is practically the princi-
pie street of all the cities and towns
which lie north Of the metropolis.
But this wonderful thoroughfare is to
be the subject OF an experiment which
will attract the attention of all who
reside in great cities. The State Leg
islature has authorized company to
create second Broadway extending
the whole length OF Manhattan Island.
Eighteen feet below the surface there
is practically to be new street, ex-
tending from curb to curb, in which
shall be transacted business as in any
other street, 1t is expected that stores
will be opened and traffic carried on
as above ground, for it will be light in
the day time, but it will be more bril-
liant at night from electric illumina
ton. On this lower street will bt
steam cars, not only for the accommo
dation Of local travel, but which viii
connect with the railway system OF th'
country. The traveller from New Or
leans, Chicago, San Francisco, ever
the City of Mexico, will be able to bu,
his ticket and check his baggage di
rect to the hotel, if his destination b
the metropolis. New York is built O.
a narrow island. Many of its ne'
buildings are great tall structures
eight or ten stories high, and the cit
has become crowded; hence the NJ
cessity for doubling Broadway, and
the present rate Of progress, it may /
; that during the twentieth century
number of the other leading Thorough
J fares may be duplicated in the san
