TO DOUBLE DECK one SUBWAY
LEXINGTON AVENUE NOT WIDE
ENOUGH FOR FOUR TRACKS.
Engineer Rice Instructed TO submit Plans
for a Tunnel With Express Tracks
Placed Below the Others-The Elevated
Bridge Loop Plan BObs Up Again.

The proposed Lexington avenue subway
is TO be a double decker. Chief Engineer
Rice of the Rapid Transit Commission at
Yesterdays meeting OF that body
that his plans for the Lexington avenue
route were nearly completed and that they
would call for a two story subway.
Because of the narrowness OF Lexington
avenue il is impossible to build four tracks
ON one level. and Mr.. Rice has planned to
place the express tracks under the local
tracks. The Lexington avenue line will
either be a continuation OF the present sub
way from a junction at Forty-second street
or il will be a separate route running from
the Harlem River under Lexington avenue
thence under Thirty-sixth street, Broadway,
Vesey street, Church street TO the Battery.
The reason alternative routes will be adj
yertised il that only the marlborough
oomuany can bid for the extension route,
while the independent line will, it is ex-
pected. attract competing bidders. 1t will
depend on the advantages of the two sets
Of bids which route il selected for con
struction.
Mr.. Rice told the commission that the
lower tracks would be from thirty-five TO
thirty-seven feet below the street level.
In the case OF Jne DdLIeIy UcIlllildl DcllS
decided upon it would be necessary only to
have a double deCked railroad from the
northern terminal to Broadway, because the
other streets the tunnel would pass under
would be wide enough for a four track bed.
Asked how he would ventilate the lower
tunnel he replied thai he would use the
system which had been installed in the
present subway. He said that that system
mad been successful and that with the added
knowledge and experience which the engl-
neers now had there would be no trouble in
LeepinR the air az cool as that on the surface.
Passengers are to be transferred from
the local to the express station platforms by
means of escalators. Mr.. Rice was author
lied TO complete his plans and to present
them to the commission as speedily as
possible.
After a formal communication had been
read notifying the commission that the
board OF Estimate had approved OF the
seven routes the commission ~ anxious
10 advertise the Mayor ASKED how long II
would take TO prepare the plans and speci-
fcations. Mr.. Rice replied that he would
have them completed within four weeks.
This means that the commission will be in
n position to advertise for bids not later
than the end of next month.
