way in New York has been started and
Is now In successful operation. 1t is
said that the traffic at that station has
increased fully 100 an hour over the
normal rate. but this probably is due
largely to the novelty Of the thing.
There are. however, many people who
would patronize the elevated road
were it not for the stairways to be
