WORK ON SUBWAY
HAS BEEN BEGUN
Excavation and COnstruc-
ton Work to Be Rushed.
REACH PARTIAL AGREEMENT
Commissioners Demands Believed to
Have Been Acceded to by Rail
way Engineers.

Work on the subways to be built in
connection with the new union station
improvements has begun.
The II Street subway will be the first
constructed. Early this morning men
were at work cutting the pavement at
tho crossing at II Street preparatory to
starting the foundation work.
What the plans are for the upper
parts Of the subways cannot yet be as
certained. Although differences between
District and Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road engineers as to the details of the
plans have been virtually settled, con-
siderable time will elapse, It is said. be
fore designs are finally approved by the
Engineer Commissioner.
Agreement Reached.
Agreement. however. has been reach
ed as to plans for foundation work. As
too much time has been lost already in
arguments, and disagreements between
the two parties, everybody now recog-
nizes the Importance of speeding the
work from this day on.
The main point of difference between
District engineers and railroad officials,
# is reported. has been whether or not
there should be air chambers back of
the subway Innings The railroad people
have agreed to put in the air chambers,
IL Is thought.
A Long Job.
Construction of these subways will be-
a matter of years. The, II Street tunne
Is thought to be she biggest undertake
/ ing of all, and for this reason work Wa.

Besides the subway at the Intersection
I Of II Street with the railroad tracks
subways are to be built at X. L. NJ, anC
| n Streets and Florida Avenue. AT /
! Street some device will have TO be adopt
/ ed, later on, to allow street cars tina
| run along that street to get across rail-
road tracks 1t is thought now that
