It is expected that the work of laying 41l of the new trackage will be com- pleted about August 15, and the re- moval of the existing tracks from streets that are to be cleared of street- | :‘reecnflw will follow shortly after that ate. The most interesting feature of the | entire project will be the construction | of a short subway to remove the C street cars from View as they pass the Capitol at what was formerly the in- tersection of North Capitol and C| streets. Although the tunnel through | which the cars will pass under an orna- | mental circle will be only a little more than 215 feet long, it will be the city's ar:it taste of underground transpor- jon.
