The old Naples could nestle very snugly on the foreshOre and the slopes, but the city has long since outgrown these confines Unfortunately. there is no good connection between the lower levels and the Vomero as the plow- shaped hills are called and while several fine, wide boulevards, have been opened in the leveler parts of Naples. surface roads do little to re- lieve congestion. An interesting ac- count of the lines projected is given by the Ma,tino of Naples. IL had at first been planned to make the No- meru the hub of number of radial lines urban and suburban. but this grandiOse plan was put by on ac- count of the cost. The present scheme contemplates two principal llHtSs cllt run lllt NOiSO b (StaziOne circum Nesuviana), to Mar gellina, passing through Via Roma CToledo) and to the Nomero. while the other suburban connects the Nomero with Camaldoli and will eventually be extended to SoccavO and Pianura. It is estimated that the running time between the Vomero and Piazza Garibaldi will be but fourteen minutes. The project will involve d number of elevators, some of them with long hauls. especially at Piazza Nanviteli. where four elevators will be installed. each carrying forty pas sengers and making the ascent in d minute. While in places the tunnels will be very deep, the conditions are said to be very favorable. for the col canic tufa of which the hills are com posed is both firm and easily worked.
