Tunnel Station in Macey's Basement, The- Board of Aldermen In New York city has a. knotty problem to solve lit connection with Herald Square?. This section has suddenly become one ot the liiisiest'shopplng districts In tho city giure tho erection of the Herald building and H. if, WiiiT's mammoth department store. Thirty-fourth Street, running ?ist an.il west from river to river, has become a crowded thoroughfare. West of Herald Square, on the same street, the Pennsyl? vania Depot, the largest passenger depot lit the world, will BQqjipe erected, tho. work of tearing down old buildings hyv liiti buen begun. This will lu tune result in bringing many more thousands dally into this immediate district. Sixth Ave? nue and Broadway cross Thirty-fourth Street, forming two pyramidal public squares, whoso apex meet under tho ele? vated railroad at Thirty-fourth Street. As each of the avenues and the cross streets carry double tracks for electric cnrs. Herald Square has become the most central point ln tho city. Beneath Thirty-fourth Street, the Penn? sylvania Railroad proposes to continue Its North River tunnel to and under the East River to Long Island, affording residents of Brooklyn nnd Long Islnnd and Jersey City and the outlying towns rapid tran? sit facilities to Herald Square. A sta? tion at tills point nt the present property valuation would entail an enormous ex? pense on tho city, and a proposition le now being discussed by -which nn arrange? ment can be mado with Macy's to make the entrance and exit of the tunnel through the Thirty-fourth Street frontage of their great building. At tho present time frequently biio hundred thousand persons a day enter Macy's without creating nn Impression of crowding, and from these signs it is believed that half a million of persons could enter and leavo cnrs in tho base? ment without discomfort. Tho deposit department, recently added to the busi ness of this greatest retail establishment in tho world, ls bringing thousands dally to the store, desirous of availing them? selves of placing on deposit various sums of money, upon which four per cent. In? terest Is allowed. This system of deposit has proven most attractive. Interest is computed on balances every three months, pr, that It ls not only better than the customary' savings banks' three and three and a hnlf per cent., but actually com? pounds. Money on deposit can bo drawn without a minute's notice, or can be used as a credit against purchases made in the store or by mail. It Is strange that a department so at? tractive to buyers has not been added t?i other great stores, It Is a department of deposits, as described, and Is not in any senso of the word a banking house.
