As the Fourth Avenue branch extends to Forty-second Street, there is an assurance, on fairly good authority, that the route will be extended through Fourth or Park Avenue at a very early period. The writer can see no reason why the present Harlem system cannot now be immediately utilized in the extension of the undergroundrapid transit road from Forty-second Street.
