J. W. Morrow, tax commissioner OF

said that in order to save litigation ana

Danv would stand for a still further
raise Oh the rolling stock provided the
hoard would reduce the assessment on
the roadhti 20 the $5S0S Il mile which
WAS the figure Of the assessors con-

stock to be Increased from $500 to $2ll2
per mile provided the roadbed be re-

he showed would only be Il difference
of $3.50 a mile in the aggregate sum

To construct even the temporary read
way without stopping traffic was no
easy work. First a trench was dug on
each side Of the surface car tracks In
It were sunk heavy timber posts ten
feet apart. A hole dug beneath the
tracks permitted each pair of posts 60

This transferred the weight of the
tracks and Of the conduit furnishing
power 20 the cars TO the timber frame
work. As fast as the paving was re-
moved timbers were substituted rest
ing also on the wooden framework. As
the diggers working under the platform
uncovered gas pipes. water mains. and
ducts bearing light, telephone, tele-
graph. and other wires. all were sus-
pended by chains from the timbers sup
porting the street railway tracks.
IN this way the great stream Of travel
has gone on without interruption other
than at brief intervals due 70 minor ac-
cidents, while the ordinary service Of
water. gas, and electricity to four and a
half million persons has suffered no
more stoppages than are usual.
SkyscIapers Bothersome.
Along the lower portion Of the sub
way in Park Row and Broadway is the
region of the big skyscraping office
buildings. The more modern of these
structures have foundations that go
down to bed rock. Some OF the olcer
buildings substituted piles driven inso
soil sometimes shifting. for deep and eX-
pensive concrete and stone work. In
passing these there was danger of caus-
ing great damage. II the teacherous soil
had slipped into the subway trenches
which in places were deeper than the
foundations of the sllyscrapers, a set
Ting would have ensued that would
have compelled the demolishing Of the
big buildings in the interest of public
safety.
The pressure on the loose soil exerted
by the great weight Of the buildings in
creased the danger. To avoid 1t the lin
ing of the trench had 10 be made water
tight at the danger points. Tongued and
grooved planks closely fitting were
driven as walls for the trench before

who seem to delight In creating such
damage, apparently without reason or
provocation.
To guard against this. Il IS necessary
TO thoroughly police the big tube Since
the stations were completed and the
equipment placed, a regiment of men
has been employed TO guard the prop
erty. This force has been added to as
the work neared completion, until at
present there is considerably more than
a thousand men on duty. They are di-
vided into three classes-watchmen at
the stations, roundsmen TO patrol the en-
tire tunnel, and trained detectives ever
on the alert for law-breakers.
IL
Of the way, it is necessary to watch
every mile Of the big passage as we'll
as the stations TO see that no disorderly
persons or thieves have got in through
the few holes that remain TO be patched
IN. The subway is divided into sections,
and two men patrol section together
all night. They also see that the watch
men are at their posts.

Only a Passing Relief.
While there are many thinking peo-
pie who declare the present subway is
only a temporary relief; that in a very
few more years the problem OF convey
ing the crowds about the city will again
become acute; and that TO meet the new
situation there must be built a sub
subway; still there can be no doubt that
for the present at least the surface cars
will carry something near the rational
conception of a load of passengers within
its capacity.
1t is only necessary to estimate the
average number of people who ride up
and down the island during the course
of the day. and then examine the facili-
ties offered by the new system.
1t is estimated that from to 9 o'clock
in the morning and from to O'Clock
in the evening at least 10000 persons
are carried from their homes TO then
places Of business and back again by the
existing lines on Manhattan Island This
traffic alone means the expenditure of
100000 a day. On the various lines OF
the Metropolitan fractions surface sys-
tenn during the periods when the de
mand is heaviest 200 cars are running
The Manhattan elevated lines at the
same time are running 1900 cars. The

passengers a year and the elevated car

Parallels All Lines.
The subway as completed parallels all
elevated and most of the surface lines
thus becoming their active competitor.
f. P. Bryan, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Iuter-BoTough
Company which controls botn the Man
haitian elevated system and the new
subway line. said recently:
LAS to the capacity of the subway we
have figured on operating our passenger
service on a two-minute Roadway for
express trains and a one-minute head
way for locals. There will be eight cars
in the express trains and five cars in
the locals. That will be the limit of
length for the rush hours. Each car will
seat 50 passengers. On the through head
way we shall be able to run 20 express
trains an hour. containing leo cars, cap
able of seating $3.50 passengers. The
local trains will be capable of carrying
10. 400 seated passengers an hour on
Roadway of a minute and a half. This
gives a capacity of 1870 seated passen-
gers an hour in one direction"
