known attorney in the en-
ploy of one of tho leading

ture would probably have to take into
consideration the demand of the people
for freight regulation, and thought tho
best way TO reach such a regulation
was through a board Of railroad COM
m~issioners fashioned after the Iowa or
Kansas commissions. The present COM
mission he denominated q useless body,

SYSTEM OF RAPID TRANSIT.

New York Commission WIN Begin Work
soon OH the Construction of "a subway.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE law aus
thorizing the construction Of a subway
system in New York city provides that
the rapid transit commission shall be.
gin work within thirty days after the
announcement Of the vote by which
the people authorized the expenditure
of $50, 600, 600 for the purpose.
New York ratified the proposition at
the recent election, and within one
month the commission will begin act
i've work. This commission comprises
Alexander L. Orr, president of the
chamber of commences; Seth Low, pres.
ident of tho Columbia college; John
Claflin, Vim. Steinw1y, John II. Storm
ana John IL. Inman. The existence of
the commission is the result of an
agitation most vigorously begun when
Abram Hewitt was mayor of New York.
AS a means TO quiet this agitation Tam.
many hall and the allied IL" and sur
face roads permitted the formation OF
the commission without a thought that
its powers would ever be more than
nominal. The commission organized,
hired experts, and made plans for q
series of years, and was ready to &c
ahead with the construction of the sub.
way system, when 1t was brought face
TO face with its helplessness as against
the hostile combination. Tho election,
however, unties the hands of the com,
mission, and New York scarcely yet
realizes what the result Of November q
means to it in the way of rapid transi,
through the carrying out of Mayor
Ilcwitt's plans, which are, in effect, the
backbone of the law under which this
immense work is to be done.
This law provides that the contractor
who shall construct the subway shall
build, equip and run the road for o
series of years, paying n rental amount
ing to not less than the interest on the
bonds, 81, 800, 600 a year. The builder
must deposit II, 1000, 600 with the com.
mission as IL guaranty to go through
with the work. Provision for a sinking
fund Is made and it is believed the pres.
ent generation will live to see the debt
wiped ont.
There will be a central three and four
track subway extending the whole
length of the city, with a branch to the
east side and loops at the battery and
Park row. The tunnels, which will be
electrically equipped, will not he on a
