= T was William Alexander Hume
who declared that II Cleveland

the city would soon resemble a
hollow tooth. Fate has a far more
radical transformation in store for
New York. Milo Roy Maltbie, who re-
Gently retired from the Public Service
Commission. says that his big town
Is destined to acquire a criss-cross
bunch Of transportation borrowings
below Chambers street that will make
the celebrated catacombs Of Paris look
like worm holes.
Within the mex decade or two, ac-
cording to Mr.. Maltbie. New York
will have so many traffic routes run
ming north and south and east and
west under ground that OF necessity
there will be all kinds Of different
levels to obviate crossing al grade.
Even the most conservative Of en-
gineers will not put . limit on tho
number OF these varying heights that
viii enter into the future transpor-
tation system. There will be at the
very least three or four levels ex-
tending north and south and the same
number running east and west, from
Brooklyn to Jersey. So the mind will
not be c%onjuring up an exaggerated
condition II 1t picture eight differen,
tiers Of subways placed in operation
between now and 1896. And these
eight tiers will all be within that mar

from Chambers street to the Battery,
Many students Of New York's
transportation problem have been
under the impression that tho limit

Chambers street. Battery district Our

night has been reached. Even when
The subway routes now building are
completed the increase in New York's
business will be such that thousands
and thousands OF passengers will be
added to the number that must get
to the lower end Of Manhattan every
morning between 8 and 10 o'clock,
and out OF 1t every evening between
8 and 7 o'clock.
So the transportation student has
argued that when tho climax Of CON

will be forced to move his office up

congestion is now, the future promises
worse. And II the business man does
begin an exodus, may II not expand
into such a general move that City
Hall. Manhattan, will cease being
reckoned as New Works civic centre?
MT. Maltbie frequently has voiced
the opinion that unless the height of

omce population in this already
greatly congested area might increase
