NEw YoRK. February 20-A curious rail-
reading project has been undertaken in this
city. 1t is scheme TO keep rude traffic out
Of gentle Fifth avenue. petition. signed
by such prominent men as ID. y. Mills
George Bliss, Ogden Mills, and John W.
Ellis, is in the hands Of the Board Of Alder
men. The object is to relieve Fifth avenue
OF heavy wagons. The swell class that look
upon Fifth avenue a. its own espec-
ials property, has for some time
viewed the increase in the mum.
bers Of heavy wagons on that avenue
with indignation. Formerly the only
heavy vehicles that intruded upon this
fashionable driveway were the grocers',
butchers and other provision dealers wag-
Ons and these were tolerated because they
had direct bearing upon the comforts Of
the residents. Now, however, heavy trucks
OF all kinds can be found pushing their way
through the stylish turnouts OF the nobe,
and occasionally scraping against the beau
tlful monOgrams ON the carriage panels
There is no more nervy man in the world
than the New York truck driver, and his
usual delight in making things uncomfort-
able for the pedestrians who cross the streets
when he is around is intensified when he
gets up among the well-dresscd men and
women, whom he looks upon ss his natural
enemies and the incarnation of monopoly.
The Fifth avenue residents have been
looking around for some tins for way to
keep out this obnoxious intruder. and the
present movement il in that direction. ID.
o. Mills, the millionaire, said: "A company
has been organized to build what is termed
a metal wheelway. This will be track,
like the track of an ordinary railroad, with
the rails run in u straight line. and this will
keep them from humping into everybody
else Since l have signed the petition il has
been question in my mind whether the
scheme is practicable in this city. where
there is 50 much heavy wagon traffic. OF
course We don't want any such affair on
Fifth avenue; but We thought il it was put
on some less private thoroughfare and the
trucks were compelled To remain off Fifth
avenue it might answer the purpose" Mr..
Mills seemed very dubious about the sue
Cess of the scheme. although he WAS one Of
the petitioners in favor of it.
There is said 10 be great deal OF money
behind the novel scheme for a wheelway,
and the idea is 10 have one in all the busy
streets. II it can be made practical it
might be of great benefit To the New York
public which, while not interested in the
effort To keep Fifth avenue exclusive. new
ertheless finds the indifferent truck drivers
dangerous to its safety. There is no ex.
pectaiion of profit out of the proposed
railroad for hOrse-drawn vehicles.
