GOOD SHOWING ON
PUBLIC ROADS
BUSINESS SUSPENDED
FOR THE DAY
FOR WEDNESDAYS W OR X
Merchants, Farmers and Pro-
fessionaI Men On Hand
Work Again Wednesday

Between three fourtns and one
mile of sand clay road was built
ON the upper and lower Washing
ton and Hope roads Wednesday
by the citizens Of Washington and
surrounding country. Practical
ly all the business houses Of the
town were closed, farm opera
tons were suspended, and far M
ers, merchants, doctors, lawyers,
office men. mill men and all as
sembled on the road. where they
put in a good days work.
There were about two hundred
men and fifty teams at work dur
ing the day. and all put in good
work hauling clay and putting it
on the sand where necessary, and
it could easily be seen that the
roads are going to be complete
success. The clay was put down
from eight to twelve inches deep
and wide enough TO allow two
vehicles to pass.
In order to give the crowd a
good dinner and at the same
time prevent the confusion in
cident to all going to central
point for the noon meal, a lot of
meat was well barbecued by ID.
w. Holt Esq. the night before
and each dinner was put up i n
a package by the ladies and dis
tributed along the line at the
noon hour. Watermelons were
also distributed along the route
a = az w ,;rie al z sdpb f5fEs5
s-.an.i5 good fresh water.
In the evening, after all had
knocked off work, it was agreed
to 20 to the road again next
Wednesday and put in another
day, and many want to contI -de
this each Wednesday untilF.a !
the roads in this section a1to
made good hard roads. All not
present at this meeting will take
notice that next Wednesday :,
August q, is the day to work
again, and be on the road with a
team, spade, shovel or pick.
As the road workers now know
how to get the material out to the
best advantage. know better how
to use it, and can load quicker, it
is reasonable to expect even a
better showing from the next
days work.

Total ...r 28, ,s47,399

1 Total ... 28, 347,399 22,4O5, ,295 In the number of trains handled 1 each day the South Station also con l tinues to be ahead of the Grand Cen l tra1 Station. Almost twice as many trains enter or leave the former as compared with the latter. It should be said by way of explanation, how ever, that the average number of cars to a. train is greater at the Grand Cen tra1 Station than at the South Sta tion owing to the fact that the traffic of, the South Station is distributed over l more lines.
 The number of trains entering and leaving the South Station in the 24
 hour period on week days is now 843. When the South Station was opened
 in 1900, only 737 trains a day were handled The number of week day trains handled at the Grand Central in the same period is 45O. On Sun
 days the number at the South Station
 is BPS and at the Grand Central 249.
 In the rush hour at the South Station
 91 trains leave in 60 minutes, which
 is more than twice the number opera ted from the Grand Central.
 The figures for trains do hot repre- sent by any means the total train
 movement of engines and cars as it
 does not include the transfer move
 ments to and from the storage yards
 On week days, for example, at the South Station, 372 empty trains are hauled into or out of the station and 345 engines without trains move in or out from the roundhouses, making a total train movement at the station of 1,560 trains and engines The total train movement on week days at the Grand Central is 764.
 In the year ending June 30, 226, ,391 more people departed from the Grand Central Terminal than arrived there, and there was an increase in the total number using the station of SAP, 2,674 over the previous year.
 That the new Grand Central Termi- nal has hardly begun to do the busf ness for which it was designed is 1 shown by the fact that while approxf- | mately 62,OO0 people use it daily now the station when completed will have a capacity to handle 7O,oOO people in l one hour.
 Twenty-one tracks have still to be completed and put in use at the Grand | Central Terminal, whereas all of the tracks at the South Station in Boston | are now in use with tbe exception of l the two suburban loop tracks, whose l operation must await the substitution 1 of electricity for steam.

BUSIEST RAIL-
 WAY TERMINAL
-BostOn's South Station Handles Most Traffic-Grand Central Largest.
By New Haven Press Bureau)

CBy New Haven Press BureauO
 Although the Grand Central Terrni- nal just completed in New York City is the largest railway station in this country in point of size nevertheless Bostons South Station can still claim the distinction of being the busiest railway terminal on this continent if not in the world, handling more trains, more people, more baggage and more mail every day than any other station.
 Through these two great railroad d terminals at the two ends of the New ork, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road system there have passed in one year over 50,00O,OO0 passengers. which is more than half the popuIs- ton of the United States. The New Haven shares the Grand Central with the New York Central road and the south Station with the Boston and Albany.
 Figures just compiled for the rail- road year ending June 30, 1913 show that in that year 5,943,474 more peo- Die passed through the South Station than the Grand Central The total number of passengers in and out of the South Station in that year was No' ,599. The total passing in or out or the Grand Central was 22,4O3,- z9e. This would mean a daily aver age for the South Station of 77,664 persons, while 61,379 persons would appear daily to use the Grand Central Terminal. Here are the figures bv months for each:
