Residents of Toxic
Must Learn to
Watch Their Step
Building of Subway to Relieve
Congestion in Japanese
City Projected

A project is now on foot TO build an
underground railway In Toxic. The
length Of the proposed line is over
nine miles. A glance at the statistics
OF the population OF the Japanese me-
tropols and of merchandise passing
through the largest centre of collec-
ton and distribution In the country,
"a compared with the figures for the
principal cities Of Europe and Amer
lea, shows that the project is ncces-
sary. according to the Kobe Herald,
which says:
"Tokio stands in need of more i'm
proved means of communication and
conveyance. At present the principal
means Of communication are the cleo
trio cars, which are always overcrowded
and generally slow, and, moreover, the
service is frequently interrupted.
"To prevent the present congestion
OF passenger traffic and to provide a
quick means of passage to those de-
string it, the obvious way is to rele-
gate long-distance passengers to I'M
foreground railways and reserve the
street service TO others moving
within short distances. This will con-
siderably reduce the average distance
covered by passengers in the street
tram cars. The construction of an un-
derground railway will create bust
ness centre IN Toxic such as is found
in every great city in the West. The
shortening Of distances in respect oil
time between the city proper and the
suburbs will also contribute to the de-
velopment OF the latter and thus hasten
the formation of Greater Toxic
The present project for an under
ground railway in Toxic owes IT'S lnltia-
zion TO the promoters Of the TOXIC
Iirht and Underground Railway Com
pany, LID, which has a capital OF H.
600 900 yen $40, 500,0 0O). The company
has already sent in an application 10
the government for permission to start
the undertaking.
The cost OF the road is estimated at
30 900 ven tSl.1O5,00O) per mile or
20 per cent. higher than that OF farls
hut nearly eoua! 10 that of Berlin.
