To the Editor of the "Nowu-Cinxa Day News"
Sm—With reference to Mr. Harpur's report to the Council on trafic problems, I should like to comment on two of his remarks.
He says:—"Large numbers alighting would be concentrated at various points.'
These numbers would not standing in the roadway—they would be on the elevated railway stations or dispersing to their various destin-the sidewalks "pavements, such as they are).
encouraging, however, to realize that the Commissioner antici-ates that great numbers will use the Elevated, 'Also he says:—"not feasible for the Settlement alone'
The Elevated Railway as suggested by me covered all the three areas, Settlement, French Concession, and Greater Shanghai. It would of course be absurd to confine it to the Settlement alone, it would only compete with existing trams and buses, The idea of my elevated scheme was to spread the immense population of Shanghai over a greater area and provide an opportunity for cooperation between all the authorities and transport companies concerned, At the same time providing rapid transit and comfort to the masses.
