HALIFAX LOSS
so MILLIONS
Relief Committee Expert
Estimates Extent of DAM
age Caused by Explosion.

Halifax. n. s., Tuesday.-At. least
S0,0OO.0O0 will be required to cover all
property losses in Halifax from the
munition ship explosion which killed
at least 1900 persons. seriously in
jured 1000 and made 5000 homeless,
according TO the estimate submitted
by ]. NJ. Wingfield. an expert TO the
general relief committee.
The figures are regarded as con-
sentative for the losses which came
when two and half square miles
of Halifax were laid waste.
Damage to Homes.
The value Of homes DESTROYED or
damaged beyond repair" Mr.. Wing
fields report stated, will not be
less than S.OoO.OO0. The damage to
homes that can be repaired. plus
the value Of furniture and personal
effects lost, will reach 5000 900. Dam
age to civic. provincial. government.
military. naval, church, institutional
and industrial property was $1,000
900.
These figures show a total property
loss Of 100000. but at present they
are only estimates of a tentative
character, and in any event do not
cover so-called replacement value.
To this must be added the cost of
temporary shelter and relief for at
least six months. A low estimate for
this work would be $5.O0o,OOO. Then
the matter of compensation or an
nuities to those permanently disabled
and to families deprived of their
means Of support will certainly re-
quire another $4,000. Summing up,
a total OF not less than 5000, 600 will
be required to cover all losses here. "

VAST CROWDS
BEINGHANDLED
AT TERMINAL
The Inauguration Traffic
Records Broken at Wash
ington Union Station.

Never before, even in Inauguration
time, has the Terminal Station handled
such enormous crowds on one day
as were handled Saturday.
When the terminal was built many
claimed 1t was too large, yet satur.
day it was taxed to its fullest capacity
This was occasioned by the large
travel to and from cantonments BY
families OF the soldiers and the largest
Christmas travel in history.
Superintendent W. J. Wilson de.
scribed in detail the causes and effect
Of the unprecedented travel:
During the inauguration the hand
ling Of large crowds was an easy mat
ter compared with the present crowds.
because Inauguration traffic arrived
and departed from the station in
special trains that were scheduled
some time in advance.
Movements without Warning.
THE present crowds come and go
without warning. presenting them
selves for transportation on trains that
are inadequately equipped to handle
them, but through no fault Of the
added in every instance to all trains in
anticipation OF the holiday travel.
1T is not only the business from
Washington which has increased. but
the thousands OF furloughed soldiers
who go home for the holidays and
thousands of soldiers families who 60

train and transfer to the next in the
rka a.
apparent confusion. but, notwithstand-
ing the hundreds Of thousands
handled, there was not one injury and
no accidents recorded.
Saturday the ticket sales in WASH
ington Terminal were equivalent to
the total Of business handled during
the holiday week OF 1914. four and one
half times greater than the business
for the heaviest day Of the holiday
period OF 1915 and three times greater
than the heaviest days business for
the holiday period OF 1916.
More Sleeping Cars.
I'm addition to the extra troop trains
and extra regular trains, the terminal
on Saturday handled q great number
OF extra sleeping cars in the yard be-
sides the thirty-one sleeping cars from
the South that heretofore did not stop
at the terminal.
Another new test to which the
terminal was put is the handling Of
twenty-five car loads of mail a day
that goes to cantonments, which was
something the station never had be-
fore. The express business never was
so heavy. In addition to the regular
express depot or station, one Of the
freight stations is used for this pur-
pose.
1.-The volume OF baggage handled has
increased in the same proportion as
the travel.
Each of the railroads represented
in the terminal had a large number
OF extra representatives of the trans
portation and passenger departments
the terminal people in handl-
ing the business and there ia no con-
fusion, notwithstanding the enormous
passenger traffic"
