Vreeland OF the Metropolitan Street
Railway company speaking upon the
subject Of rapid transit In New York.
SAID briefly after reviewing the history
OF the development OF transportation in
this city with respect TO the changes IN
motive power from horses TO electricity.
Since / have been here $40. 900 has
been expended, about 80 per cent OF this
in Manhattan. and only eight and n half
miles OF new lines have been built. When
you consider that the number of people
rcarried last year was 57.000.000 over the
preceding year you can see that the open
Ing OF the subway will furnish relief for
virtually no more than n day.
At the expirtion of this decade there
will be handled a thousand millions Of
people year In Manhattan and the
Bronx alone. In addition to the 2 900. 900
people I'm Manhattan it's transportation
lines have to take care OF the popula-
ton OF all the places within fifty miles
OF New York city.
The only hope OF Improvement In the
future In New York lies I'm the develop
ment OF the underground systems.
