BRONX TRAFFIC GROWTH.
Mr. Belmont Explains Necessity for
Increased Facilities.

August Belmont. president Of the marlborough
company in letter to President Orr of the Rapid
Transit Commission. which will be read on Thurs
day next, says:
There is a situation rapidly developing in regard
TO travelling facilities to and from The Bronx that
will before long assume serious proportions. This
company thoroughly appreciates the responsibilities
attaching to II and Is endeavoring to meet these
responsibilities in the broadcast and fullest manner
At the present time the lines operated by this com
pany in The Bronx deliver daily at the Harlem
River 5000 southbound passengers, most Of whom
carried to the southern part of the Borough OF
Manhattan. and the same number of passengers is
carried northWard in the afternoon. This number
is an increase of SS per cent over those carried
three years ago.
This traffic is along the lines of the company. and
can be served only by Improvement of facilities
New lines, either by the elevated road or by the
subway reaching into The Bronx, will serve 10 de-
velop other parts Of The Bronx, but will not ma
terialy serve to relieve the pressure this COM
pany's lines.
The engineers Of the marlborough company say
that in building a third track along the 2d-ave
route II will not be necessary to alter any Of the
columns or the existing structure OF the road to
carry out the proposed plan, but-fve and one-half
feet will be added to the structure
