OUR PRICES THIS WEEK

granted until a plan, looking toward
coordination among all present and
future systems, is definitely decided
upon, makes these suggestions:
All north and south highways should
be set aside for subways Immediate
ly below the street level. such as the
present one.
Right under these subways, at a
forty-foot level. construct transverse
subways and moving sidewalks, and
a subway arcade as a sidewalk.
Below the sidewalks place the
Pennsylvania tunnel, and the other
great transverse tunnels that will un-
doubtedly be built by the railroads.
and used by them as means of getting
into and out of the city. These tun-
nels should be sixty feet under
ground.
Lastly, eighty feet below street
level drive the fourth layer of tun-
nels and use them for express service
exclusively. The society is thoughtful
enough to suggest that these partic-
ular tubes should be provided with
ELEVATOR entrances.
II any scheme approaching the rec
concentrations Of the Municipal Art
Society are ever carried out the city
will have six layers of transportation
facilities, so to speak--four under
ground, one on the surface and one
overhead-perhaps two overhead, for
there is much talk again Of double
decking the Elevated.
Truly, New Yorks rapid transit
puzzle is its leading one, and the men
who are trying to solve 1t, either
from civic pride or selfish motives,
are Just about the most constantly
talked of gentlemen on the island.

subway's Troubles.

HAill.
Subway's Troubles.
The Subway was thrown open to
the public in the middle of October;
of course. Mr.. Belmont as present
of the operating company. had to take
a leading part in the celebration. \
week or ten days later a lot of New
Workers began shifting suspiciously
of the Subway air and declaring it
detrimental TO health; Mr.. Belmonts
name was banded about right and
left. Then followed divers analyses
of the air, some official, more unoffl-
cial, and with the publication of each
and every one out cropped the name
of August Belmont.
Then, just as the public was firing
somewhat of discussing Mr.. Belmont
in relation TO the air he has in his
great ditch. up popped the now IA
nous advertising sign controversy.
and Mr.. Belmont was heartily abused
for harboring misunderstanding places
in the Subway and destroying the
artistic beauty of the stations. The
controversy is still on.
In the meantime the public is busily
engaged in discussing the reasons for
Mr. McDonald's regisation from the
directorate of Mr.. Belmonts Subway
Construction Company, his alliance
with Mr. Belmonts rapid transit OPP
ponent, the Metropolitan system, and
the probability of a gladiatorial battle
between Mr. Belmont and Mr.. Nc
Donald for future subway favors from
old Father Knickerbocker. In fact,
the preliminary skirmish in now on,
and all New York is watching eagerly
and eagerly awaiting the decision of
the umpire-the Rapid Transit Conn
mission--as to which shall it be--Bel-
mont or Mcdonald?
Mr.. Belmont has certainly grown
wonderfully in municipal affairs since
the days when he was chiefly known
to the public via the newspapers as
the exponent of rabbit coursing on
Lang Island and was standing trial
therefor. charged with cruelty to ami
mails.

New Yorlser. Wand Moro TunneI..

New Workers Want More Tunnels.
There is no doubt that great as has
been Mr.. Belmonts share in the at
tempt to solve the rapid transit puzzle,
goodly portion of New Workers
would be delighted to see the tunnels
which will certainly be constructed in
the near future, driven by the interests
represented in the person of Mr.. Nc
Donald. This attitude is due largely to
three reasons
First. that of competition. 1t is
argued that 1t would bode the city no
good to have all it's underground pas
sages between business and home con-
trolled by one company. Create
competition" is the cry, even though
we do 1T by getting the company
which has a monopoly of the surface
lines to take hold of the prospective
tunnels"
Second. transfers. The Metropoli-
tan has explicitly promised that it will
transfer all passengers, free of charge.
from any tunnels that it may be au-
thorlzed to drive to it's surface lines,
and vice versa. There is no transfer
system between the present Subway
and the Elevated lines, both under the
control of Mr.. Bemont's INTERIOR
ough Company.
Third, the personality of the two
men WHO are opposed TO each other.
However justly or unjustly, Mr.. Bel
mont is looked upon by large class
OF people as being exceedingly cold.
callous to public opinion, and i'm pos
session of the naughty attitude that is
assumed by many men. who. like him
self are born to inherit their fathers
milllons. Personally, 1 do not fully
agree with these critics. Mr.. Bel
monts endeavors to improve the serv-
Tod
seem to prove that he has some re-
gard for public opinion.

Art socIety's Plan.

So many subway propositions and
recommendations are continually be-
ing made by this construction COM
pany and that civic organization that
1t is difficult to give every one equal
prominence with another. Hence, 1t
happened that when the Municipal Art
Society, the other day, made its rec
concentrations to the Rapid Transit
Commission they received but little
attention in public print. This was
unfortunate, as the recommendations
are among the most novel yet made,
and, while seemingly converging on
the proposterous to the uninitiated In
metropolitan rapid transit affairs,
foreshadow a state that experts de-
clare will come In some shape sooner
or later.
