NEW-YORK RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

Engineering News" as have already
quoted it, regards with some dsfavor the pro-
posal TO remove the masonry partitions in the
Park-ave. tunnel and to replace them with steel
girders and pillars. and also that TO remove
more of the roof and thus to convert the tunnel
into something like an open cut. In these objec-
tions to the i'll considered demands Of the Board
of Health it IS. we believe, quite right. Neither
of the proposed changes would remedy the evils
OF the tunnel. but one of them would greatly
increase those evils to the residents Of Park
ave-, and the other would lessen the security of
passengers In the tunnel The periodical cited
also renews its suggestion Of an artificial venti-
latng system for the tunnel, which certainly
seems worth trying, and finally expresses doubt
to the present practicability Of electric trac-
tion and the proposed loop for suburban trains
doubt which does not appear TO be altogether
commendable 1t may be that in adopting such
traction the railroad in question would be the
worlds pioneer. Even SO, who should be the
pioneer before the great railroad which runs
into the heart Of the second city of the world?
But we are not sure il would be the pioneer
In several cities local electric railroads are In
successful operation, extending over routes Of
many miles, and New-York City itself is now
engaged In building another, with full conf
dence in its success. No one doubts the practi-
cability of running electric trains at high speed
through the subway for distance of fifteen or
twenty miles. Why should it not be possible to
run them an equal or even a greater distance on
the tracks Of the three roads proceeding from
the Grand Central Station?
The opinion heretofore expressed i'm these
columns is therefore to be renewed that the
railroad will do well TO seek q solution OF the
tunnel problem In electric traction for suburban
trains and subway loop and that # should be
urged and encouraged 10 do so, as indeed It now
seems inclined 10 do, rather than be required to
undertake some half measures Of doubtful or
worse than doubtful utility at the nconsiderate
mandate Of the suddenly awakened Board of
Health. There are already signs OF improve
ment and progress. The remodelling of the
Grand Central Station was an nestimable boon
TO the travelling public transferring passengers
from overcrowded, Ill lighted, unyentated and
awkwardly arranged waiting rooms to one
which in all respects is pretty nearly ideal and
saving most Of them walk OF a block or two
TO the trains. The improvements now under
way Oh the important Harlem division are COM
parably great. consisting of extension of the
double track system, stone ballasting the whole
road, and building new, handsome and commo-
dious stations. There is reason to believe that
the same spirit OF improvement can be directed
to a radical and permanent cure Of the errors of
the Park 7aye,n nts1pnel j is. at any rate, better
