BRIT. WOULD BUILD SUBWAYS
ASKS ron PLANS or THE PRO-
POSED BROOKLYN TUNNELS. .

John u. McDOnaId Explains what the
Metropolitan Hopes to DO--NOuld Ar
range for Free Transfers 10 Its Surface
Lines-The Thirty fourth street Route.
The Rapid Transit Commission may not
have 70 depend upon the marlborough
company for the building Of the new sub
ways In Brooklyn. Yesterday the Brooklyn
| Rapid Transit Company applied to the
| Rapid Transit Commission for copies Of
the maps and for information concerning
the routes which have been suggested by
the commissions committee on plans.
The Metropolitan interests. unlike Mr..
Belmont. are satisfied with the routes
which have been planned by the com
mttee. John r. Mcdonald. who built the
present subway and who il now connected
with the Metropolitan ~ curities Company
said yesterday:
The Metropolitan interests are satisfied
with the general scheme Of rapid transit
lines announced by the Rapid Transit
Commission at it's meeting yesterday.
The lines approved by the subcommittee
are ~ laid out as to furnish all a fair OPP
portunity Of bidding, and that is all we
have a right TO ask. II the terms Of the
contract adopted by the commission are
as fair as am sure they will be my asso-
ciates and | expect TO make an offer 10
construct a new and independent system
Of subways for New York city to be operated
under a free transfer arrangement with
the surface lines. ! am sure this will meet
the approval Of the commission and the
public.
MY FIVE years Of study Of the New York
rapid transit problem has convinced me
that the only effective way Of properly
distributing the city's highly concentrated
Messenger traffic will come from a COM
prehensive system Of high speed sub-sur-
face lines operated under a transfer ar
rangement with the surface lines and that
is why associated myself with the Metro
politan interests controlling those facili-
ties"
Asked about the moving platforms on
Thirty-fourth street. Mr.. Mcdonald said
Regarding the Thirty-fouTth street
crosstown line, my view In simply this:
/ suggested a four track Crosstown subway
on Thrty-fourth street from Third avenue
10 Seventh avenue primarily to aid in dis
tributing the immense traffic that will be
developed at the Pennsylvania railway
station and Herald Square and to provide
direct connection between those i'm
portant centres and the entire east side Of
the city.
IF the commission, however, decides
TO adopt n moving platform for Thirty
fourth street | will, of course, withdraw
the suggestion Of a Crosstown subway
on that street and suggest that arrange
ments lie made SO that traffic from the
Pennsylvania station and Herald Square
may be transferred by means Of the moving
platform to the new East Side longitudinal
subways which / hope 10 build. Il IL not
practicable TO have both the moving plat
form and the crosstown subway. and the
Is not helped by the suggestion
that the crosstown subway be transferred
from Thirty-fourth street 70 Thirty-fifth +,
and Thirty-siNth streets.
