It fs expected that In about a fortnight’s time ground will be broken, and the work which {s to give easy, comfortable, and rapid transit to the citizens of Now York will be fairly begun. Since the passing of the bill authorizing the construc- tion of the line, Mr. Buckhout and his army of assistants have been at work almost day and night. The precise route having been fixed on, it was necessary to make an accurate surface and underground survey. ‘The former was com- paratively easy ; the latter was attended by dif_i- culties of no mean magnitude. UNDERGROUND SECRETS. First of all, twas necessary to ascertain by actual inspection the precise location and line of sewers. ‘The maps of those already in ex- Istence were found, after one or two experl- ments, to be utterly unreliable, very often show- ing an inaccuracy of as much as two feet. It was also needful to ascertain the exact bearings of the water and gas pipes, as it was discovered that the diagrams already drawn could not be depended on, The greatest care and precision were exercised in making this new underground survey, as the railroad company were bound by law so to rearrange any sewers and gas and water pipes they might disturb in tunnelling, as in no way to Interfere with their efficiency, The survey has been satisfactorily completed, and the results are to be found on carefully pre= pared diagrams in the draughtsmen’s room of the ineer's department. In this room some ore of able artists are engaged completing the plans for the great work. THE CITY TRAMINUS. The city terminus of the Underground Rail- road is to be in the City Halt Park, immediately at the back of the new Post OMice, and facing the City Hall. “An iron building.
