The first regular transportation of passengers underneath the waters which make New York an island will begin. This is transit development on the right lines. The Island of Man hattan should have fewer inhab- itants rather than more. Office buildings, factories, stores, terminals | and hotels are crowding out the purely residential population. There are vacant lots on Washington Heights, but these are as far from the crowded downtown as much cheaper land on Long Island and Staten Island. | Regarded simply as a mechanical and engineering problem every | family in Greater New York can have its own separate house, with a Piece of ground about it on which to raise flowers and vegetables, and still its working members can be within three-quarters of an hour travel of the City Hail. | The reason that this improved way of living does not exist, except | to a limited class of the population, is that transportation facilities are) inadequate, slow and costly. \ The Battery tunnel, completed now as far as the Borough Hall in Brooklyn, will soon extend to the Long Island Railroad station. This will give the downtown business men and their clerks easy access to the | Commutation district supplied by the Long Island Railroad. — BUILDINGS actin me But this in itself is not the kind of transportation service which will empty the tenement-houses.
