IN THE ANNEXED DISTRICT
DISAPPOINTED ABOUT RAPID TRANSIT.


WHAT Is NEEDED BY THE UPPER PART OF
THE CITY-oTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
The work Of the Rapid Transit Commission from
which the residents Of the Annexed District had hoped
for great benefit has proved 20 be Of little concern to
their interests. The building Of good rapid transit
road to Forty secondst. may shorten by few mnutrs
the journey TO the upper part Of the city, but the
time taken TO reach the Harlem River from the City
Hall will stu be far too long. Chauncey ". DcpeG
in reported interview states clearly the ideas Of most
Of the residents Of the outlying wards when he says
But there is phase Of this rapd-transit qucs-
ton which has been taken into consideration II
in some peculiar way TO have evaded attention so
far. The rapid transit Of the future will be Of no
earthly account that doesn't take into consideration
the Annexed District. That territory, including over
io 900 acres Of the 2656O Of which the city is com
posed is at present mostly farm property, but with
rapid transit facilities once developed-and. soon or
late. they bound to come-that Annexed District
will become the centre of the population of the future
ity."
The Park-ave. tunnel is already used by so many
trains that there are constant complaints Of the
delays especially to incoming suburban trains.
The needs OF the Annexed District and Of the
extreme northern end Of the island would only be moi
BY a, least three rapid transit routes II the dream
OF the resident OF the Annexed District becomes
true the main station Of the railroads which
have terminus at the Grand Central Station will be
near one hundred and thirty eighth ST. and the Park
ave- tunnel will be used only for rspd-transit pur
poses. would thus be possible 10 make the journey
from the City Hall TO one hundred and thirty eighth
ST. in fifteen twenty minutes. The New York
Central would be able It's trains without the
delays incident TO the tunnel other road would
use any portion Of its tracks. The Harlem and New
Haven roads would supply different routes some OF
the needed transportation 10 northern and north
eastern suburban points. The residents OF Kngsbridge
and Spuyten Duyvil would find access 10 their homes
in twenty minutes from downtown points by other
rapid transit lines.
II Is a significant fact from which he draws consola
tion that the York Central road has ALREADY recog
ni,ed the importance Of the One-hundrcd aud thirty
eighthst. station, has erected handsome station
trains.
