RapId Transit Problem.

That underground electric traction Is
the ultimate solution Of the rapid tran
sit problem in the larger cities OF this
country and Europe has, long been ap-
parent to engineers. The recent Sub
way plans suggested by President Roach
as a solution of the traction problem in
this city, while deemed somewhat CHI
merical by many, are nevertheless in
line with modern progress in systems Of
urban transportation, says the Chicago
Times Herald.
Fresh interest in the praetcability and
economy OF underground street railway
transportation is stimulated by recent
reports from the success OF the under
ground electric railway in London. This
line, which extends from the Bank OF
England. in the center OF the city to
Shepherds Bush, a distance OF six
miles, and which required four years to
construct and an outlay OF $iz,o3285o,
was opened on July 80 last. Its suc-
cess was immediate and notable. In a
letter to the state department Consul
General Osborne writes that in three
days the road was used by 100000 pass
cngers. The road has many American
innovations, which are greatly apprecia,-
ed by Londoncrs. II is equipped with
luxurious vestibulc cars and 28 topedo-
shaped engines, which were built in the
United States.
So great has been the success Of the
underground electric that engineers
freely make the prediction that in ten
years London will be supplied with n
vast network OF underground. electric
railways with a grand belt OF electric
lines encircling the metropolis. The
new system, il is claimed, has not only
emptied the omnibuses, but has thinned
out the crowds on the pavement.
There is little doubt that any plans
affecting the surface lines in Chicago
and New York are only temporary
makeshfts to be regarded as merely
preliminary to the final underground
solution of the traction problem-the
only solution that will relieve the con
gestion in the streets and give rapid
transit by doing away with street cross
ings.
