FoRTY-sECoyD-sT.'s HEAVY TRAFFIC.
MUCH RELIEF AFFORDED BY NEW ARRANGE
MENTs AT THE GRAND CENTRAL STATION

MUCH RELIEF AFFORDED BY NEW ARRANGE
MENTs AT THE GRAND CENTRAL STATION.
The improvements at the Grand Central Station
by which the entrance the trains OF the New
York Central. the Harlem and the New-York. New
Haven and Hartford trains has been transferred
to Forty-second-st. and by which all arriving pas
sengers from these lines discharged into that
thoroughfare, has created much additional traffic
and in order to relieve the congestion the surface
lines have been improved with loops and switches
in Forty -second-st. and Park-ave. Passengers may
from the station to the shipping districts and to
the lower part of the city without change of cars
and If other demands not made on the street
the present arrangements for transporting pas
sengers might be adequate But the ferry
from Broadway Williamsburg. to East Forty-sec-
ond-st., is rapidly advancing toward completion.
and will be in operating order in July. This will
cause the crowds in Forty-second-st. to increase.
and additional means for relieving the congestion
will have to be created Ferry houses both sides
Of the river now being built The boats will
be of a superior order. and the line will undoubt-
edly be largely patronized by people who wish 10
avoid the long tour by from the lower part Of
the city to the station when leaving town when
arriving the Grand Central Station on their way
to their homes in the Borough of Brooklyn.
The New-York Central Railroads cab service will
be extended to the Forty-second-st ferry, but the
crosstown will still be taxed to their utmost,
and additional service will become a necessity.
People who live along the line of the Fortysecond
ST. railroad remember the torn up condition of that
street while the underground trolley plant was
being installed, and of them would be con-
tented to have additional service than TO
repetition Of the street condition that existed
year ago. In speaking of this, George H. Dan
fels general passenger agent of the New-York
Central Railroad, said:
Forty-second-st will not necessarily be torn up
again in order TO accommodate the additional traf
nc caused by the improvements at the Grand Cen
tral Station and the Brooklyn ferry. If ad-
dtional trolley lines had TO be provided for the
tearing up of the street could not be avoided il
is more than likely that when the time comes for
lines in Fortysecond-st. the motive power will
be compressed air or storage batteries The people
who have given the subject the most consideration
tell me that they can store sufficient compressed
air a to carry 1t from the Forty -second-st.
ferry across Forty-second-st. to the West Side
and down by way of the most westerly line of rails
to the Battery. If this is and believe is the
nuisance of torn up streets and poles, and the
menace which these to health and comfort will
be avoided, and a long step will have been taken
toward successfully handling the ever increasing
crowds about our station.
