An important series Of railway
works to be constructed in the near

France with Spain.

countries, two in number. are near the
shores Of the Bay Of Biscay and Of the
Mediterranean Sea.
Recently the governments Of Spain
and Of France have agreed on the con
structiOn Of three important lines, to
90 directly through the mountains, the
effect Of which will be to put Toulouse
and Barcelona In closer connection, a.
well as other important towns.
The most northern route will pene-

For the central or salau route a sui
longer tunnel. with a length of 81
miles. must be constructed at q cost Of

tory the country Is rough and much
engineering work must be done on that
section. For the eastern or Puigcerda
route there Is no international tunnel
but in both countries smaller tunnels
must be constructed through the noun

The three railways are to be con.

completed within ten years. and will
improve important branch lines that in
both countries have been constructed
up the various valleys on each side of
the mountains.
