City to Build Double Decker the
Length of Manhattan Island.

New York, Oct. S.-This city will
have a new double -decked subway
running most of the length Of Man
haitian Island if the plans proposed
by John H. Delaney, transit construc-
ton commissioner to provide for the
increase in traffic in the next
twenty-five years are put into effect.
1t will be necessary to resort to this
double -decked subway construction,
in the opinion Of the commissioner,
because the congested section OF
Manhattan borough has only II north
and south arteries to serve more than
100 cross streets.
His plans call for an eight track,
double-deck line on the west side of
the city from the battery to 155th
street running under Eighth and
Amsterdam avenues. Only four
tracks would be constructed at first
but these, would be so located that
another four track unit could be
built under or on top of it,
Mr.. Delaney also proposes the
building of another north and south
subway Of four to six tracks under
Fifth and Madison avenues, on the
east side, and extending from the

illinois may expect no reduction in
the price Of coal such as were grant
ed in Indiana by the fuel commission
OF that state. There is no Illinois
body with power to make like reduce
tions, according to Commfssioner

commission and First Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James r. Glass.
II heard about the cut ordered in
Indiana" said Mr.. Shaw, but the H.

no authority over coal prices"
'There is nobody In Illinois with
authority to do what the fuel board
in Indiana did," said Mr.. Glass. 'If
there was, we wouldn't be taking
grand july action against coal profi-
teers."
The consensus among Chicago coal
dealers was that the Indiana cut
would have little il any effect on the
price Of coal here. The ruling affects
only coal shipped within Indiana.
