QUEENS TRANSIT WORK
Vast Sum Being Spent for In
prOvementS Under Way.
WILL HELP WASTE AREA
Rapid Progress Is Being Made
on the Winfield Wood
side Cut Off.

With several million dollars being ex-
pended for the Improvement OF transit
facilities in the Borough of Queens real
estate interests are united in the conclu-
sion that the next decade will be an era
of wonderful achievement in the extern
sive development of hundreds Of acres
that have laid waste solely because of in
adequate transportation facilities. The
vast expenditures being made include
those for the work being done by the
Long Island Railroad and the construc-
ton of the extensions of the dual transit
system TO Astoria and Corona.
Every section of the borough will be
materially affected by the work being
done by the Long Island Railroad. With
the electrification of the north side branch
of that line to Port Washington accom-
plished. the attention of the engineering
and construction forces will now be given
to the elimination of grade crossings.
With the possible exception of the inn
mensity of the project of eliminating the
grade crossings in Flushing, the Work
now being undertaken is of larger proper
lions than any in the history OF the road.
Rapid progress is being made in the
work on the Winfield oodside cut-off,
which will extend in a direct line from
the Woodside station eastward and which
will bring about the elimination of a
dangerous curve and also result in short
ening the distance by nearly an eighth OF
a mile. Immence quantities of dirt have
been used for the construction OF a MI
and this week work was started on the
construction of concrete supports and
abutments. Two steel towers, one at
ith street and the other at Kelly and
Roosevelt avenues. Woodside, have Al
ready been erected. The union station
OF the Long Island Railroad and the
Corona branch of the dual transit system
is to be located at the latter point, which
will become one Of the largest centres OF
traffic in the borough.
With the approval by Borough Presi-
dent Connolly and the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment of the plans for the
Improvement work, the construction or
the bridges, the building Of which Is
made necessary to carry the tracks OF
the cutoff over streets in the vicinity
will soon begin. The bridges VIII be con-
structed at 9Th street, Riker avenue, sth
street, Roosevelt avenue, FISK avenue
Adams street and Ramsey street. There
will be a subway along the line OF Bur
roughs avenue. Winfield.
In response to a demand of property
owners in the section the Public Service

"Our exhibition in drawing. sewing and
manual training last June was very com
plete and satisfactory. and gave evidence
of very careful training. Much credit Is
due to the supervisors. teachers and pu-

academy they elect one Of the four courses
which they intend to pursue. This choice
IS made with the cooperation and advice
Of both parents and teachers. All the
academic courses provide for electives.

Some confusion exists among the
members of the Oklahoma delegation
in the house over the question of
postoffice patronage. Representatives
elected at large are inclined to make
Endorsements within districts repre-
sented by democratic congressman
but Postmaster General Burleson has
let it be known that the recommends
tons of the district congressman will
receive first hearing at all times.
The congressman at large will dis
tribute the postoffice patronge in
their home counties and will have
say in the republican counties, but
it seems their influence will extend
no further.
