WAY IS CLEARED FOR
FRISCO IMPROVEMENTS
Every Indication That New
Agreement Means Better
Facilities for Tulsa.

Railroad men yesterday declared
that an agreement had been reached
between the Frisco and Santa F'e rail-
roads whereby tho former arrange
ment. which permitted the Joint use
of facilities, both freight and pas
period OF six months and that the
Frisco would begin at once the erec-
ton of additional passenger and
freight terminal facilities.
Several months ago II was an
nounced from the office OF the Frisco
railroad that the officials OF that
company had reached the conclusion
that by separating the passenger and
freight business handled In this city
over the Frisco lines, better SER
vice could be given and that the
Santa Fe would be forced to find
other means OF handling its business.
This was understood to mean that
the Santa Fe and the Frisco would
operate separate passenger stations
and indicated that only n remodeling
OF the present Frisco passenger sta
ton was to be considered In the near
future.
The announcement that the two
companies have reached an agree
ment whereby they will handle their
traffic over the same local twin fa-
cilities leads railroad men to believe
that the two companies will work In
perfect harmony again. and that the
extensive program OF improvements
contemplated by the Frisco before the
severance OF relations will proceed.
In this event the new joint passen-
ger station will be erected. n Harvey
eating house will be erected and the
elaborate system of rail facilities will
be completed as outlined by one OF
the Friscos officials during recent
