ELEVATED EXPRESS TRAINS IN THE FUTURE
In regard to the item I'm morning newspaper re
spectlng express trains third track Of the ele-
waited railroads. Wee President Galloway of the Man
haitian Railway Company, said yesterday to Tribune
reporter:
The Manhattan directors have been for some time
discussing plans for increasing the facilities of rapid
transit and relieving the present pressure OF travel
The schome Of third track with express trains has
been considered, but 1t is still embryonic. 1t Is
only OF the various methods debated, although
Il seems to be the most promising"
The third track the Third-ave. road between
Slxty-hfth and Onehundred- and twenty ninth SITS. Is
practically finished, although there gaps 10
bo filled in. On the West Side, while many additions
have been made 10 the facilities for the operation
of trains, any such third track would
require practically entire construction.
The Manhattan Company claims the right TO build a
third track on Its hight Of way, but tho attempt
TO do would not be made unless II was certain
that ten-cent fares could be obtained To enforce ten
cent fares on the cypress trains would require some
legislation. Tho establishment and operation OF
a third track the entire distance between Harlem and
the Battery on both East and West Side lines would
require an expense in strengthening the exist
ing structures which would not be undertaken II
only i've cents could be exactod from tho through rav
ellcrs There Is no chance. In the estimation Of Wall
Street OF the third track scheme being realized within
tho coming year.
