NEW YORK AND LONDON SUB

You must take into cOnsIdera,
ton" said Albert H. Stanley, direct
or of the London Underground electric
railway, to a New York Times re
porter, the fact that the New York
er is rather methodicaI in his hab-
it's. He wants to go to the office
at given time, and he wants to go
home at a given hour There is a
unanimity of inclination in this re,
spect that seems to be quite decis.
| i've and inyariable The whole town
| leaves its work together to go home
which makes a stupendous problem
| of transportation here that is quite
unknown in any other city in the
world. The regulation OF trains to &C
commodate this unique character OF
New York traffic has been no easy
! prOblem to solve
More trains would not relieve the
| crowding OF cars" There is not sc
much objection to the CrOwding OF
cars, perhaps, as there would be
| to slow methods Of transportation.
What creates this crowding of the
/ subway trains, abroad as well as il
New York, is the eagerness with
which you and l. and thousands more
want to get to a given place, The full
meaning of rapid transit is quick
tservice speed with maximum of safe
~ and a minimum cost. One car
readily endure some discomfort fol
the ultimat advantage of quick trans
IpOrtation, a matter which the sub
way system in New York has solved
perhaps. more thoroughly than any
where else in the world.
The speed Of subway express:
trains here is greater than in Lon
don or in any of the great cities il
Europe. In fact. the entire problem
of transportation in New York, sur
face and underground. while create
than that of any other city, is aIst
the largest and one of the bes
equipped systems in the world"
If the facilities of transportatiol
are greater, what about the discom
forts of overcrowded cars?"
I have seen almost as dens
crowds at the subway stations her
in New York" In spite of the law
in Europs governing the number O
, people admitted to a carr" "Ther

OF people in an underground railwa
