Atlanta, Ga, March 29.-EXtensive
Improvements on the line between Al

of twenty miles of passing tracks
and revision of grades are to be made
at once by the Southern Railway ac-
cording to announcement given out to-
day by the Assistant to the President.
The passing tracks will be of latest de-
sign, known as Iap-sidings, which
greatly facilitate the movement Of
trains. These tracks will be placed at
intervals of about five miles and each
will be long enough to accommodate
four trains This additional trackage
will give many Of the advantages of
double tracks and will greatly in
crease the capacity of this important

the great increase of business that is
hoped for in the future.
