t deal with the problem ofelimination of grade crossings in Los Angeles on the lines of the Pacific Electric(an entire elimination is impracticable at this time), this electric road is con-sidered in the light of its relation to a union passenger station. The eliminationof grade crossings on the most congested points on Main, San Pedro, Aliso andSeventh streets is taken up.

Thesubway work along Main street should be undertaken within the next five years. THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER 57
