Quency and rapidity. The first of these
two objects is being accomplished by oper-

for the movement of suburban trains are
being placed on a level beneath those for
the use OF express trains. Twenty three of

NEW ELECTRIC LINE
FIRST TRAIN MONDAY
White Plains and Other TOocns
on Route to Celebrate.

The first train of the new suburban cleo
trio service on the Harlem Railroad. from
Grand Central Station 10 White Plains, will
be run over the line tomorrow. leaving 42d
street at l o'clock On board will be some
three hundred members of the Westminster
Chamber of Commerce, the organization
which has arranged a special celebration IN
honor of the occasion: number of railroad
officials and a party OF invited guests Of
prominence. The train Will be decorated
with flags and bunting. 1t will carry a
band of music. At the various stations In
Westchester County. from Mount Vernon
to White Plains. at which stops are TO be
made. the stations and nearby buildings
will be lavishly decorated The mayors of
the various towns. accompanied by delega-
tons from the local boards OF trade. will
be on hand to welcome the party, and brief
speeches will be made by the local officials
officers of the Westminster Chamber of
Commerce and representatives, of the rail-
road company.
While the celebration has important
significance for the residents of Westches-

improved system of handling Communication
traffic in and out of New York City
In speaking about the new Harlem cleo
trio service a railroad expert said yes,er-
day:
with the remarkable growth of New
Tork's suburbs. the question of rapid and
efficient handling of this class OF traffic has
become a problem as important and in
some respects as difficult as that of rapid
transit within the city itself. Tens of mill
ions of dollars are being spent in the soIu-
ton of this problem by the various rail-
ways entering New York. and the plans
now being adopted by the lines centring In
the Grand Central Station are so elaborate
and effective that they are likely in time
to be followed by all the other roads
Between 1900 and 10000 suburban pas
sengers enter and leave the Grand Central
Station every day. The handling of this
vast traffic means the piling up Of A large
number of trains at the morning and even
