CYRUS FIELD WANTS LINES TO ALL THE FERRIES
SUCCESS OF THE REDUCTION IN FARE.
Whether not the Manhattan Elevated Railway
people adopt the plan proposed by Lawson N Fuller and
published in yesterdays TRIBUNE for extending their
roads, 1t Is quito certain that the company intends to
build lines before long, The increase Of travel
In consequence Of the reduction Of the fare to five cents
has opened the eyes Of the conservative directors
and shown them the possibilities of cheap and complete
system OF rapid transit In this city. The question Of
ducng the fare discussed three years by the
Board before the majority OF the directors could be
induced to make the change. Now that it has
proved such success, there is general disposition
to extend the roads still further
Just where 1t Is best begin to build lines is the
subject under discussion The remarkable growth of
the northwest section OF the city leads OF drcc
tors think with Mr. Fuller that this district the proper
Held while others believe would be better to begndown

uptown lines thinks that there is pressing need for ele
waited roads along West and South sts to connect with
the ferries.
have road start from the Battery go along westst;,
pass Cortlandtst. Chambersst, Cristopherst and ali
other central elevated roads 50 that passengers ar
irving by any ferry could be carried to any part OF city,
put their feet the pavements at ALL If the railroad
companies do as we propose and put upper stories on
some of the companies, and the PENNSYLVANIA Company
has already agreed to arrange their boats in this way as
build the road. Think what blessing this
would be who here to shop, and in fact
everybody who travels.
"Of course should have line for the East Side fer
res Of similar character The elevated lines unques
tonably well adapted to give the city complete
system Of rapid transit advocated the reduction Of
fare for years in the board, and now that 1t has been
made look at the result"
Mr. Field then showed Auditor Gaynors report Of the
roads for November and compared II with the report for
the corresponding month OF last year. Ii shows that
13214573 passengers carried last month, against
S,955976 during November, 1888 The gross receipts
yember ago were $59O,s92 ~. The increase Is

There" said Mr.. Field with some elaOn as he read
the figures, evidence Of what cheap fares will do
In this city and an earnest Of what can be done by an
tension OF our system"
SO far be learned, there is intention at pres
ent OF seeking to build line on Broadway though II
Mr. Fullers plan is adopted and elevated line built
