new YORK SUBWAY IS
OPENED BY MCCLELLAN

cludes the whole Of the main line
from City Hall park to the Harlem
river on the upper west side. 1t Is
expected to have the entire west side
line opened to traffic within month
or so and also the east side branch
to the Bronx.
The great subway opened today
consists Of 81 miles Of railroad under
the city's teeming streets. The actual
work Of construction has taken just
four years and the cost has exceeded
$50.000,000. When the entire system
Is completed 1t will enable one to
travel from the limits Of Brooklyn
to the northernmost end Of Manhat-
tan entirely underground.
A dazzling array of facts and fig
ures tell the story Of the building
of the mammoth underground road.
For instance, more than 100000
cubic yards of dirt and rock were
blasted and dug from the streets Of
the crowded city. To tear away the
rock 100000 pounds Of dynamite were
used. Eleven thousand men were en-
ployed In the work and of this num-
Der several hundred lost their lives
through accidents, premature ex-
plosions, cave-ins and falling rock
1t is estimated that the road will
carry 115,00o,000 passengers a year
The fare is 5 cents. When the ex-
tension to Brooklyn, under the East
river, has been completed it is esti-
mated that the road Will carry 200,-
100000 passengers a year.
Express trains will run through
the subway at the rate Of a mile a
minute for the benefit Of the long
hauls from the Bronx to the busiest
