To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: More
and more evident does it appear that the
plan which you advocated some time ago OF
loop at the South Ferry for the elevated
railroad Is the only one likely in any degree
to relieve the existing traflic conditions in
this city
A strip OF the park sufflciently wide to
permit OF structure that would carry West
Side trains to the East Side. and vice versa
might be given to the company without de-
stroying the park entirely Parks are for
the public. and II the land they occupy can
be used for the public more advanta geous ly
for 0imfed) railroad yards than as breathin g
spaces. il should be used so
do not stop with loop at the South Ferry:
! would have other loops where pract lea BILE:
and where loops were not feasible | would
have pockets or head stations. such as now
exist at South Ferry. the City Hall station
and else where. There might be a loop at
rha'ns oyr SS pesT,hy one at ,Iryop
Ninth street on the Third avenue line and
fourth at fnnrteenth street on the Ninth
Third street. extending down Carmine street;
and perhaps pocket at Ihifty-third street
and the various squares there In time there
might be loop at Sixty-thrd street and
Ninth avenue. r.

unsightly elevated tracks-w1ll require only the
building and operating OF modern boats that will
make delightful trips across the by In hfecn
minutes each. no smoke, no noise. no crowdlng.
