GETS SIXTH-A AVE. SUBWAY.
GRANT TO M'4DOO CO..
Crosstozcn Tunnel to ETtend
Through Nmth-st. to Second ace.

The Rapid Transit Commission yesterday
granted to w G. McAdoos company permission
to build the Sixth-ave subway and a crosstown
tunnel The formal certificate of permission will
be approved at the next meeting. when it will
be given to Mr.. McAdoo. With this grant the
great public demand for a subway TO reach the
retail mercantile district will be we'll on the way
TO settlement. When the required permission
has been granted by the aldermen work will
begin at once. Mr.. McAdoo did not attend the
meeting.
The only change made in the plans already
published in The Tribune a stipulation that
the crosstown line should extend through Ninth
ST. TO Second-ave.. instead of making its loop
around the Bible House at Third-ave.. as had
been proposed. This stipulation is agreed to
by the company. At Second-ave there will be
a single track loop like the loop in the present
subway al City Hall The rest of the system
will be double tracked.
The report from the contract committee told
of the urgent demands from leading merchants
for service to their district, but went on that
a franchise in perpetuity, the NeW-YOrk and
Jersey Company wanted it, presented many OBJ
jectionable features, So the committee could
not recommend the granting of the franchise
until the company agreed to the condition that
the city might purchase the tunnel at the end
OF twenty-f1v years The report went on
The report of the chief engineer of this board
herewith submitted, shows that in his opinion, the
route in SiXth-aVe should lie the surface
rs possible but that. in view Of possible crosstown
lines hereafter to be authorized the board should
reserve the right TO require greater depth be
tween Twenty-thrd and Thirty-thrd SITS. The chief
engineer also advises that the extension proposed
should not in any extend beyond the southerly
side of Thirty -third-st. His this is BASED
upon the likelihood of subway being authorized in
Broadway. which would certainly involve the build
ing of a large station in the neIghborhood of Thir-
ty-fourth-st, and the railroad proposed should
be so constructed not to interfere with that
ton.

PLANS FUTURE SUBW4YS.
11rt SOcietu Urge$ General Scheme
for Nee Lines.

The Municipal Art Society, through its committee
city plan. presented a communication 10 the
Rapid Transit Commission yesterday urging that
a definite. comprehensive plan for municipal sub
way work be laid out in accordance with which
any future subways might be constructed. II there
were such plan, and work were proceeding ac-
cording to its details. there would be no difficulty
in deciding on applications for franchises. as to
whether they would interfere with municipal plans
committee held
The committee declared that in time subway con-
struction the various parts Of the city would
have 10 deal with twenty. forty, sixty and eighty
foot levels and no arrangement should be per-
mitted now which would Interfere with the best use
of the various levels. 1t commended the action Of
the commission in regard TO the grant for the
subway I'm Dey-s IN STIMULATING that if any munici-
pal necessity arose the city might take the sub
way or close IT, and recommended that sucn
provision, coupled with a reasonable indemnity
provision, should made part OF all future
franchises and that these in themselves should be
limited 10 periods in excess Of twenty five
years.
The committees communication went on:
ON the completion of the Blackwei's Island bridge
a subway across FIFTY ninth-st will be absolutely
necessary. as traffic in that street IS already

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Two weeks ago l sent to the Health De-
paTtment report of further analyses OF the air
of the subway. relating TO the carbon dioxide
present. Although l received by the telephone
the assurance that it should be given TO the
press, it has not yet appeared in print. AS
there are many ladies who still afraid to
venture into the subway, think the citizens of
New-York entitled to the facts, and. you
kindly published my first report, hope you will
find space for this second one. The air of the
subway is above reproaCh.
