Chief Engineer Parsons also made report
regarding the feasibility of having four tracks
in the Brooklyn tunnel. He says that the ooard
has long been OF the opinion that the Brooklyn
extension between Ann ST. and South Ferry
should form a part Of the Manhattan system
and that In it the two tracks should have a
balanced capacity in accordance with the
four tracks north of the Postofflce. Whenever
the city decides that more tracks should be built
in Manhattan north OF the Postofiice then ad-
dit.onal tracks should be built south, he says,
The Brooklyn line. he points out. consisting or
a separate tube for each track, can be added TO
at no greater expense than II they were built
now. and possibly at less He adds that it is
not at all clear that additional tracks TO Brook
lyn provided they are needed, should be placed
along the same route as the tracks that are now
projected. If additional tracks were to be
added to the present route it might involve the
postponement OF the connections with other
parts of Brooklyn for some years. He mentions
proposed connections for South Brooklyn and
Long Island City, and direct route from the
City Hall to relieve the bridge. The experience
gained in the construction and operation OF the
first line will be most valuable in forming a
Judgment as 10 what additional lines shall be
laid in the future
