Some time in the next twelve months
the Staten Island Rapid Transit Com
pany will begin the work of improve
ments, plans for which have just been
prepared, which include the changing
of the present ferry slip to Fayette
street on this side of the river and
the extension of railroad in Totten-
Vile to point just north of Brown s
shlpvard, and numerous other i'm
provements.
The News is able to make the above
announcement to its readers rs re-
suit of an interview which one of its
reporters has had with one of the
officials of the railroad, high in
authority.
This, the News reporter learned, is
but part of a big plan which the
Officials of the railroad have under
consideration to improve the entire
system for the sole purpose of cutting
down the running time to one hour
between Perth Amboy and New York.
The wise ones of the company evident
ly figure that the full patronage of
this city is worth the amount to be
spent.
The improvements to be made will
begin at this end of the road first
where the great changes are to be
made. Every alteration will be with
the idea of saving time. Every min
ute saved. it is argued, means thous-
ands of dollars to the company. To
make witt. the regular trains all the
stops and changes from boat to train
and from train to boat in one hour,
will be a feat in engineering hard to
accomplish.
With the two ferry slips changed at
Tottenville and Perth Amboy they
will be within 300 feet of being direct
ly opposite each other. The people of
Tottenville may not like the change
for it will make them walk consider
ably further to take the train or boat.
but it will mean to the company the
saving of from four to five minutes.
In other words this official said from
the time the boat starts from Perth
Amboy till she gets to Tottenville,
allowing the people to get on the train
it should not take over two minutes.
Then the plan includes the cutting
down of grades and the cutting out OF
unnecessary curves in the road, also
the improving of the roadbed and
laying of heavier rails. All this is
calculated to cut down the time be-
tween Tottenville and st. George so
that at least ten and possibly fifteen
of the twenty minutes will be saved
between Perth Amboy and st. George
before the boat problem between New
YORK and st. George lis encountered
at all.
AS to the boat problem at the other
end the News reporter learned that
this company propose to have three
new boats, and with the two big boats
they already have, entirely renovated,
under favorable conditions it is
thought the trips between New York
and ST. George can be made in fifteen
minutes. The question of new and
,ster boats between New York and
!. George is one that has been great
ly agitated by the patrons of the road
nd the inhabitants of Staten Island
generally for the past year. The
Rogers Syndicate, said to be backed
by the Standard Oil interests, are
giving the Staten Island Railroad a
hard run to obtain the franchise for
: the privilege of landing the boats in
New York and at present it is ques-
tion which the Dock Commissioners

RAPIDLY RUSHING
TO SANTA FE
Steel Track at Mcintosh Station.
Moriarity Will Be Reached Sun
day.--Work on the Kennedy
Overhead Crossing.
SIXTEEN AID OnE-hllF MILES OF
GRADING OH the ALBUQUERQUE EASTERN

General Manager w. S. Hopewell of
the Santa Fe Central Railway, this
morning received the very gratifying
news that the steel track of the road
had reached Mcintosh station, eight
miles south of Moriarty, and if no un-
foreseen mishap occurs, the track lay
ing machine aid the steei track will
be at Moriarty. eight miles north of
Mcintosh, by Sunday night, if the men
will consent to work on Sunday. Track

other work was somewhat interfered
with by heavy hail and rain storms
during the afternoon of both days. At
Mcintosh, switches and sidetracks have
been constructed and the force is rap
idly pushing north from there today.
At Kennedy work on the overhead
crossing over the Santa Fe railway
tracks is progressing satisfactorily and
it is still going on 1t is a tremendous
job and of first class workmanship. 1t
will be completed In time for the steel
rails when the track laying machine
reaches there.
Sixteen and one-half miles of the
grade of the Albuquerque Eastern rail-
road have been completed and work is
going on on the grade just as fast as
the force Of teams and men employed
can do it, but it Is very hard to. get
sufficient number of men, there being so
much railroad and other work going on
in New Mexico. At point one and
one-half miles from the present termin-
us of the grade and Is miles west of
Moriarty, a station will be established
which will be the junction of the AL
buquerque Eastern Railroad and the
branch to the Hagan coal fields. 1t will
be called Frost at least SO says Gener-
al Manager Hopewell. The branch to
Hagan will be 13 miles long.
About AZ young Indians from the Uni
ted States Indian Industrial School in
this city and so from the surrounding
villages, are working on the track lay
ing and surfacing gangs. They give
good satisfaction, are hard and faithful
workers, docile and easily handled. The
railroad authorities say they are giving
the greatest satisfaction.
