CIN IT BE TRUE

The elevated railroad, have not, for long
time at least been looked upon as aiording
a satisfactory solution of the rapid transit prob
lem Whatever hopes they may have inspired
at first. it cannot be denied that after a far
Trial, extending through several years. the de-
libcratc conclusion of this community is that,
with all their advantages these aerial struct-
ures do not present the best form Of quick
transportation within the city limits. They
are essentially temporary in character, anu
though, as De Lesscps remarked, their con
,,ruction was a brilliant. audacious undertake
ing vet they are only an expcdlcnt, tentative
but highly important step in the development
IF a comprehensive, enduring system of rapid
transit. Naturally the Manhattan Company
will dissent from this view Of IL property ;
nevertheless we have stated correctly the pre-
yailing opinion. and striking proof Of this
is the shock that wa, experienced by the people
of this city few weeks ago when the Rapid
Transit Commission gravcly announced that
after all, the only practical answer 10 the bum
ING question is in the multiplication OF these
reads through the air
This public amazement would not have been
so great if the Commission at the time had not
enioyed general confidence. TO the majority
of citizens the decision represented the honest
result of two years labor spent by the Board
in the investigation of this perpleying subject.
Hence the widespread astonishment, which con-
tinued until THE TRIBUNE. after a careful ex-
animation of the matter, explained the myS-
terious verdict by showing that the Commission
was practically controlled by the elevated
railroad company, and that its conclusion was
not the outcome of conscientious effort to
give the city the most desirable transit facili-
