Orders have been issued that as fast as ‘the columng supporting the roof of the tunnel between the local and express train tracks repainted they shall be painted brown, instead of receiving an- other coat of the white lead which has produced what is popularly known a8 the ‘subway eye,” i ‘The pillaré in front of the Thirty-third and Ninety-first street stations have al- ready been changed to brown, And In- side of a year there will be no white columns left in the tunnel, In con- structing new gubways the supports will be painted brown at the start. Won't Change Side Walls, It 1» not the intention of the com- pany to change the color of the alde walls, There are no dark spaces inter- yening in these to cause a flash-light effoot and to darken their color would merely tend to darken the whole tunnel. As it is, when all the pillars shall have teen painted brown, patrons of the Subway will find the tunnel from 2% to 40 per cent. darker than it ts at present, 6. L. F, Deyo, chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company, in discussing the change to- day sald: Many Com Bo many complaints of the unpleas- ant. effect of the while pillars on the eyes were heard, both from the patrons and employees of the underground roqd, that we realized some change was nec- essary. To paint the columns black would darken the tunnel 60 per cent, ‘and as our object was to have as lght a tunnel as possible wo did not wish to dn that, “we accidentally discovered that In places where the white lead paint on the pillars had turned brown, as it al- ways will indoors, the effect on the eyes was much less trying, We have thore- fore issued orders whenever It becomes necessary to repaint the columns to use brown instead of white paint, It will, of course, be several months before the color of all the pillars will be changed. A medium shade of brown will be used and the combination of that with the white elde walla will not decrease the ght in the tunnel more than 2% or 30 per cent," For the Motormen’s Benefit. HC, Hamilton, engineer of the Main- tenance Department of the Interborough Company, eald that the, change was made especially with reference to the motormen, “They havo to look at the pillars all the thne, whether they will or no,” he sald, ‘and it was found that the dan- cing white poste were injurious to their eyes.
