Gigantic Transit Problem Which New

the exact figures as recorded al the close

a thing as really rapid transit is possible
New York possesses several methods oe
surface transportation which are far supe-
rior 10 the systems in use in either Lon
don or Paris In Manhattan the electric
cars are worked mainly by the conduit
system, the conductor lying underground,
and making connection with the car by
slot between the rails. In Brooklyn the
trolley Is omniprcsent. We have also a
few old horse cars and stage coaches,
cabs. coaches, electric hansoms etc The
omnibuses of the European ciues, which
form the chief means of transport alton,
take under tine most favorable circum-
stances. nearly ten rninutes to travel
mile: the street cars of the American
metropolis can do a mile IN from five to
seven minutes when out of the downtown
crush, while the elevated trains easily
make fifteen miles an hour. All omni,
