COULD IMPROVE THE SUBWAY
Bion ]. Arnold Has Plan to Increase
New York Traffic.
Would Have stations DOuble-decked,
Expresses 10 Use Present
Platforms.

New York. March l5.-Bion J. Arnold.
the expert, who was brought from Chi
cago by the public service commission TO
suggest improvements which would in
crease the capacity OF the subway. has
submitted a report recommending changes
which, # carried out Mr. Arnold prom
ises, wild mean an increase Of fully 50 per
cent in the facilities Of the tunnel.
The most important OF the suggestions
made by Mr.. Arnold is the double-decking
Of the express stations. He proposes that
the second deck shall be used for the
local trains. thereby leaving the present
platforms for the sole use Of the express
trains. II Is Mr.. Arnold's theory that the
great cause Of delay in the moving OF ex-
press trains, particularly in the rush
hours, is the long stops at the stations
for loading and unloading the trains.
These delays at the stations mean that
the trains following frequently have TO
slow up and even come TO a standstiH as
they approach the stations.
Mr. ArnOld's idea Is that Il the present
platforms are used entirely for express
trains the trains can use first one and
then the other. In other words. as one
train is filed and ready TO pull out. an
other train will arrive on the other side of
the platform, ready 10 take on another
load In this way it will be possible to
shorten the Roadway Of the express
trains
