O'Brien, a realty broker, whose views are unusually conservative anil well-defined, sees great possibilities for the Eastern Parkway section of the through arising from subway construction, lie looks for large deals in this field in the near fclure. Discussing the subject, he says: outlook for Ihe Eastern Parkway and upper Bedford sections is especially, bright. With the lines of rapid transit Ihnt have been allotted our section by the dual syslein agreement, namely, the Eastern Parkway.

The Fourth avenue subway In Brook lyn, which Is being built by the city and now nearly completed, will be extended from its present terminus at Forty-third street and Fourth nvenne, Brooklyn, down Fourth avenue to Elghty-nlnth street, and will lie operated by the Brook lyn Kaput Transit company, it rum from the Brooklyn eod of the Manhattan Bridge, through Flntbush avenue extension partly, as six-track subway to Fulton street, and thence as a four-track subway through Fulton street, Ashland place und Fourth avenue to Forty-third street.

The proposed extension will be tour-track subway as far as bixty-liftb street, at which point atwo-track subwav and tunnel, to be txiilt In the future, will diverge to Staten Island. From Sixty-hftli street to Eighty-ninth street, the extension will bea two-track subway, but it will be built in tho west side of Fourth avenue, so that two additional tracks may be laid in the future, if desirable. With this subway the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will connect most of its existing South Brooklyn and Coney Inland lines. The Brighton Beach line will be connected with the Fourth avenue subw ay by an extension of the latter, to le built through Fulton" street tovSt. Felix street and under the property of the Long Island Railroad Company and through private property to Flatbusll avenue ton connection with the Brighton Beach line at Malbone street.

ViAm the Fourth avenue subway at Thirty-eighth street, a new subway will built running through the property of tbe South Brooklyn Railroad Company to Tenth avenue, and thence by an elevated r.uilroad over Tenth avenue to New I'trecht avenue, and thence by way of thc-cxisting Brooklyn Rapid Transit 'line, which is to be made an elevated rond, through New I'trecht avenue. Eighty-sixth street and Still well avenue to Coney Island. From Thirty-eighth street and Ninth avenue, nn extension will be built as an elevated road along Thirty-seventh street to Cravesend avenue, and thence along Urnvesend avenue over the present Culver line of the Brooklyn Rapid, Transit Company, which is to lie made an elevated road, to Surf avenue, Coney Island. The Sea Beach line to Coney Inland will also be connected with the Fourth avenue subway by a new subwav to- be built eastward from the Fourth. avenue line through Sixty-fifth street to a junction with the Sea Beach line.

Elevated Extension Will Also Be Great Help. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will also extend its Myrtle Avenue Elevated line to Lutheran Cemetery, its Cypress Hills Eleveated line through Ja maica avenue and Flatbush avenue to Grand uremic, and its City Line Elevated road through Liberty avenue to Iefferts avenue. The additions aud extensions will add to the Brooklyn Kapid Transit Company's system 32.7 miles of single track in Manhattan, 4.8 miles of single trnck in Queens (including Queensboro Bridge), and 128.50 miles of single track in Brooklyn (including East River tunnels.) 0 Plerrtxpf space will be afforded in the uew'subnVvs. The Feurth Avenue Subway and the others to te operated by the Brooklyn company will tie very large at compared with the first one. Many othef great improvements will, be installed.

The existing subway was the first road ever operated in New York X'lfy. and necessarily, in some particulars. Was more or less experimental. Aetnad operation of it disclosed several fenlufes which experience proved undesirable, and the engineers of the Public Service Commission have eliminated such features from the plans for theVnew work. For instance, some of the stnfions in the existing subway are built upon curve's which causes undesirable eondi-floiiHVwlien trains are londinavjind unloading nt theseurved also makes it necessary' for nlf Vtrnins approaching such stations to slow down to avoid danger.

While these curved platforms are protected by an exi-frllent signal sysleni, the Commission's engineers believe that the safety of operation will be promoted by eliminating curved plat- forma llicrefore all stations upon the 1KW subways will ba located 0 straight stretches of track, and so far aB possible sunrp curves will be nvoielert on all lines, nother feature of, the existing subway which has been" IFtnTd-vinferlor is the placing of nil fouAtracks- in one tunnel. 1 his condition prcviitks with few excep-. tinns, for tfie whole strVtch of. four-track from Hr0oklyn Bridge north ti Ninetv-sixth street.

Pile the ire- quent passage ol truins stjrren tip the nir, it did lint insure tbe reiiewul of it, and in coh'oneiicc the city grejit deal of money to put in ventilating devices. The commission's engineers believe they have greatly simplified the prohTbm of ventilation by constructing tbe new subways with separate tunnels, so that the passage-of trains will produce a piston action, driving the air out ahead of them and causing the Inrush of fresh nir by suction from the rear. It is hardly accurate to say that there -will bo four separate tunnels for the four-truck sections of the new subways. Rather, there ill be one tunnel for "the four tracks, but there will be a partition wall each pair of tracks so that the effect of having one tunnel for each pnir of tracks will be produced. In this partition wall archways will be provided nt statpi distances as places of safety ta which track la borers may retire to avoid being struck by trains.
