Land is cheaper here than in such
cities as New York. the speaker pointed
out; rentals are less burdensome: trans

lines west, two north. and four south

WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-Shrink-
ase Of the estimatsd total Of sns Aiiiee'
loan now being negotiated in New
York from one billion dollars to half
that sum seemed materially to have
cleared the situation today. Admins
tration offieials welcomed the sugges-
ton that, while the credit secured will
likely be three-quarters of a billion,
the main load openly to be assimilated
will only be five hundred millions.
The banking firms closely associat.
ed with J. P. Morgan & Co., it was
pointed out, easily can care for that
amount. AS result it is likely that
the flood of protests which have been
reaching the white house and the state
department will be lessened.
These protests are being filed away.
1t has been made very plain that there
is no desire to take any action on
them even though some OF them are
couched in inflammatory language In

write their banks threatening trouble

The plan was to run the first two
cars in the morning on the regular
schedule before the men go to work
on the street. The service would then
have to be discontinued while the men
were working, but cars would start
running again at O'Clock in the even

cars over the new concrete would GER
tainly damage the work."
He said that even after the work
is completed the city engineer has in
formed the company that ten days are
required before the cars can be run.
