. Electric railway journal . ice Gas Company andPublic Service Electric Company. These will occupy about18,000 sq. ft. of space and will take the place of the quar-ters now provided. An exit from the concourse and onefrom the showrooms will be provided in the extension toNorth Canal Street, and the strip extending to West ParkStreet will be used for the heating plant and such appa-ratus as will be necessary to operate the elevators, thevacuum cleaning outfit and other mechanical needs of theproposed office building. The Public Service Corporation and its allied gas, elec-tric and railway companies require about 100,000 sq. floor space for the executive, operating, engineering,commercial and accounting forces housed in the presenthome office. To meet existing needs and allow for expan-sion the proposed building was designed as an eight-storystructure. As the sub-surface, most of the surface andall of the second floor will be devoted to terminal uses,this would have provided six floors for office purposes. As. Newark Terminal—Plan of Basement unloading tracks will have separate platforms, each about200 ft. long, and the loading platforms, also separated,will range from 190 ft. to 240 ft. in length. Like the sub-surface platforms, these overhead platforms will have inde-pendent stairways for incoming and outgoing traffic so asto avoid confusion. The stairways will lead from and tothe concourse on the ground floor, the elevation being onlyabout 12 ft. each floor will have an area of 25,000 sq. ft., all six willnot be necessary at once for the exclusive use of the cor-poration, hence the decision to build only six stories aboveground at the outset. As the demands for more space comein the future a seventh and an eighth floor can be addedwhen needed. The main entrance to the office floors willbe through a spacious lobby located on Park Place, betweenthe showroom and the entrance to the concourse. 248 ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL [Vol. XLI, No. 6.
