SUBWAY CONSTRUCTION
IN AMERICAN CITIES

The New Internationl Year Book
for 1912 gives some details regarding
the subway situation at the close of
the year. The "duay system of
rapid transit adopted by the city of
New York will involve an expenditure
of $347 100000, of which sum $116,-
100000 will be contributed by the In
terborough Rapid Transit company.
The condition of the contract was the
continuous ride, with transfers, ON
each company, for cents; and the
operating contracts are to run for
forty-nine years, the leases of the
original subway entering into the new
arrangement. The city was to share
in the profits of operating, according
to a detailed plan for apportioning
expenses, rentals, net earnings, fixed
charges and so forth, and provision
was made for the city taking over the
lines any time after ten years of
operation. The subway from the Park
street station, Boston, to Harvard
square, Cambridge, was opened on
March 81, 1912, and has ben exten-
sively patronized. Trains run over a
length of track of 3.2 miles, and a run
ming time of eight minutes between
the two points has been maintained.
Chicago, with a population of more
than two and a quarter million peo-
pie, as yet has no subways, although a
plan presented by the harbor and
subway commission was under discus
sion at the close of the year. The
plan, which involves an estimated out
lay of $l3,000,000, proposes a system
of subways, or underground railways
| for rapid transit, which would be mu-
nicipally owned and would radiate to
outlying sections of the city from the
business center. That there was need
of such provision was shown by the
fact that the seating capacity of the
surface lines during the rush hour
amounted to but $4,000, so that doubl-
ing the seating capacity, as advocat-
ed by the opponents of the subway
project. would do but little to solve
the problem which the increase of pop
ulation, amounting to about 1000
in ten years, is making serious. The
subway as designed would give a seat
ing capacity of 10000 per hour, mad
would cut aown by over half the time
required by the present surface lines
and express trans ON the elevated
railways.
The people of San Francisco were
also studying the rapid transit ques-
tion at the close of the year. Two
reports had been presented by Blon J.
Arnold for a rapid transit tunnel from
Market street, under Twin Peaks, and
secondary cross-town line con
Meeting with it, extending from Mar
ket street to Golden Gate park, pass.
ing under the southern edge of Buena
Vista park, the tunnel to be used by
both elevated and surlaee cars. Thus
the rapid growth of American cities il
making the transportation problem
much more serious than most persons
imagined, not so many years ago, il
would ever be--Providence Journal

MODERN CHIVALRY In
THE SOUTHERN STATES

Men working ten hours a day in
the mills where women and children
work eleven hours a day; citizen of
North Carolina writes to the National
Child Labor committee with surprise
at this phenomenon in his native
state.
"Last week I saw in two counties
in North Carolina what seems to me
to be about the most successful
butchery of the laws of chivalry that
1 have ever known. Somehow it
seemed to me to do violence to that
hat or run to do any service for a
woman or show a kindness to child.
cat two different places | saw
women and children go TO work at six
in the morning. There were scores of
them just one hour after the women
and children went to work, | saw the
men 90 to work They came from
practically the same community. Men
working ten hours, women and child
rem working eleven hoursl 1t is there
going on all the time, all the week, all
the month, all the year.
eff women and children can work
eleven hours, why not menl They
can, but we have learned that it does
not pay to have men work so long.
Nobody seems TO have given much
thought to the women and children.
They simply take what is coming.
They are not in position to raise any
objection.

to only certain part of our women

would hasten to help woman or a

North Carolina counties / saw women

going to work an hour earlier, than
the men. IF the men can take this
hour, why not give it to the women

JUDGE TABfR HANDS
DOWN IMPORTANT DECISION

In a decision handed down by Judge
Taber, of the Fourth Judicial District,
in the case of the State of Nevada VS..
the American Express company, the
court holds that the law requiring all
transportation companies to pay the
regular license is constitutional, and
the decision is far reaching, in that
for number of years past certain
express companies dong business in
the state have refused to pay the
license, and this case has been watch
ed with a great deal of interest.
This case was brought originally in
the justice court of Caliente. by the
district attorney of that county, and
was transferred to the District Court
of Lincoln county, of which Judge
Taber is the presiding judge. The
state was represented by the district
attorney of Lincoln county and the ex-
press company by c. O. Whittemore,
one of the leading attorneys of the
state of California-Elko Free Fress.
