10 WAIT 5 YEARS FOR THPROVENENTS | Pitsbargh Will Expend $14, 000,000 for Better Faciliies Pittsburgh, March 27.—A $14,- 000,000 project that will mean the stralghtening of a street, widening of several others, and an additlon to a rallroad passenger terminal, the | wrecking of a frelght house, en- | largement of a tunnel and other mis- cellaneous Items, is expected to start in Pittsburgh April 1 ese tasks are included fn the Pennsylvania rafiroad’s plan for the improvement of its passenger termi- nal fachlities, and it is estmated that ten years will have elapsed before the whole project has been complet- od. The major portion of the work, however, or that whieh will have the eatest effect on traln service, prob- | ably will be finished within five years Just what the fmprovement will mean to the raflroad was explained recently by Robert Trimble, com- pany engineer, who said it would speed up passenger traffic in and around Pittshurgh and would do away with delays that through trains sometimes experlence on thelr halts In the smoky city. To the ex-| tent that passenger traffic will he speaded up, freight traffic also will beneflt, Mr. Trimble said, although the new tracks and improvements | will have no direct bearing on this | part of the system's operations, The first thing that will bs under- taken wlll ha the stralghtening of Grant Street. T thoroughfare starts on a straight line from the main business section of Pittsburgh toward the Peansylvania terminal. When it reaches Seventh Avenue, however, It seems to terminate, for standing in front of it {s a freight house. Despite appearances, how- over, Grant Street goes on, but it is necessary to go down Seventh Avye- | nue a short distance before the elusive thoroughfare ls picked up | .«(nin Under the railroad's plan the ob- | structive freight house will be re- | moved and Grant Street will con- | tinue unhindared on its courss to | tha terminal. On the last streteh, from Seventh Avenue to the station, the street will he widened from 60 to 80 foet On the east side of this new thor- oughfare, indicatings point to the possibility of a new post offce for Pittsburgh. The government had held a site on Liberty Avenue for this purpose, but the raflroad needed this space for new tracks In connec- tion with the improvement. A deal was effected whereby the spaces were traded On either side of the station pro- per, at the present time, are several tracks. One side is used for trains on the Panhandle and the other for t1ains on the Fort Wayne division. Passengers coming from or going to these trains must cross the tracks, und it is planned to build tunnels inderneath to eliminate this neces- sity. nnel about 1,500 feet long run- n the terminal and the . Avenue station will be wid- ened to permit the passage of two .

When the ministry of pensions submitted its budget in M y 1924, for the amount of money to pald in pensions to war widows, is estimated that seven per cent of them would remarry during the ear. Unfortunately the calculations wers wrong, for, up to the present ime only four per cent have dis- carded their widow weeds. Conse- ntly the exchequer has had to nt an extra $10,000,000 to pay ir pensions l’ll“(-Rl SS \ Ikll\ \II‘IHI A Melilla Moroc March 2 This city, which has been in the hands of the Spaniards over 400 ) , 1s ahout to be provided for t time in its history with a public water st ers are now engaged in t pipes to bring nn water from ties wi?l be abls to furnish the in- habitants with suficient water for \rinking and hygienic purposes. | |ot Major E.
