The Subway" Champions Still in
Evidence, and John w. Daniels
Again Discussed With the Mayor
His Plan as Being Superior, for it
Provides Accommodation for Vehicles
and Pedestrians, as Well as Cars.

Advocates OF the tunnel idea OF solving
the East Side approach problem are by
no means unanimously I'm favor OF the
Makepeace plan, which would cost up-
ward OF 100000
The subway still has sturdy champions
and they are making themselves heard
Today John W. Daniels, whose plan was
submitted some time ago. called upon the
mayor and discussed the superiority of
his idea, drawn out in collaboration with
Joseph r. Manton, to the Makepeace
plan.
Mr.. Daniels said today that the subway
plan possessed among others these points
of superiority:
IT provided a grade OF 377 per cent as
against 430 in the Makepeace plan: a
difference OF about seven inches in every
hundred feet. which would make 1t about
as easy as the approaches to the Union
depot.
1t would provide accommodations for
car, vehicles and pedestrians, while the
Makepeace plan is exclusively for the
cars, and therefore would not solve the
crying need for rapid transit OF all kinds
to and from the East Side.
1t would make less dangerous the
death trap" or dead end OF Angel street
whose junction with the new street his
plan provides would be on part OF the
grounds now occupied by the First Bap-
tist church.
The points that the subway could not
be properly ventilated he dismsses by
stating that nothing could be easier, and
that IL could be thoroughly cleaned daily
or nightly and kept clean, Just as like
structures are cleaned and maintained in
Seattle and other Pacific coast cities.
Its additional cost of about $500. 900 as
compared with the Makepeace plan would
be more than counterbalanced by the ad-

ITALY'S STATUE GIFT TO

Italy's gift to the city OF Paris, was un-

imposing civil and military ceremonies,

ditional advantages, he claims and his
subway idea would not disturb any OF
the institutions in that vicinity. while the
Makepeace plan provides for going under
the basement OF the Rhode Island School
OF Design which would suffer to some ex-
plan:
Joseph p. Manton said in support OF the
plan.
Should II be deemed not desirable to
take portion OF the Baptist grounds and
straighten Angel street and obviate the
death trap at it's foot, II can be started
at Jeffords market. For in this plan 1t
does disturb the School OF Design But
what the people OF Providence want is
an easy means OF communication between
the west and east side. The west side
furnishes all the east side supplies, coal,
building materials and family supplies,
and thus avoid horses toiling up the hill
with their loads, saving time and money.
Private family carriages would avoid
accidents. In case OF fire on the east side
the scene could be reached in one-half the
time and valuable property saved. Strong
exertions are being made to have a tun-
mel for the special benent Of the trolley
cars. 1t would be more for the benefit
OF Pawtucket. East Providence and he
yond than for the citizens OF Providence.
IF tunnel can be foisted on the city
no other means OF communication can
be carried through in many years A sub
way for the convenience OF all is what is
wanted"
The proposed subway would be 2240 feet
long. 90 feet wide. 16 feet high and with
grade of about $50 per cent It's outside
cost. 1t is declared, would be under $780,
900, and the city could reimburse itself
by long time loan, the cost of which
interest could be acquired by charging
the street railway corporation for each
trolley car that is sent through.
