Circular Transit on This Island.

To the Editor:
The crowding on the a. grows worse and
worse. Won't you advocate the construction OF a
circular railroad right around the island, with
electric or cable car connections at the principal
cross streets? The track could be laid over brick
arches built deep enough TO lay six lines Of rails
to provide for future growth Of the city. The cost
would not be so very great. Bricks are cheap,
labor plentiful. foundation superficial, no grea.
engineering difficulty. The arches would bring
n respectable income let ont to market men and
for storage and other business purposes, and land
could be easily had in the nelghborhood OF One
Hundred and Fifty-hfth street to build an i'm
monse depot. Here Ia the idea. Let others elab-
crate 1t, and relieve the people Of the crush and
danger Of present accommodation.
