IN extending rapid transit facilities IN

said William Barclay Parsons, the chief
engineer of the rapid transit railroad
commissioners. Even this great sum will
not provide for adequate accommodation
for the rapidly increasing transportation.
The entire Manhattan elevated system has,
on extra occasions, carried as manv as nine
hundred thousand passengers a day In
round numbers IT will average for year
two hundred and forty millions. The
underground will carry more than that: but
with all the increase in facilities we shall
fall short of what we ought 10 do This
Is based on the calculation that New York
is increasing in population at the rate of
two hundred thousand a year. and that
every man. woman and child averages four
hundred and fifteen street car trips annually
According TO these figures the cityS popula-
ton will have increased by one million
in five years, and the additional fares 10

panies will be four hundred and fifteen
