TOKYO TO HAVE FIRST SUBWAY
 IN JAP NATION

TOXIC, July 19 (by Associated Press).-Tokio is to have a subway, the first in Japan, a charter for which has just been granted. This is a part of big plan for improvement in transportation facilities in Tokio and Osaka which will involve the expendi- ture of many millions of dollars. The decision of the authorities to under take these improvements has followed bitter complaints of poor service.
 Owing to the increasing population the street cars of Tokio are so over- crowded that it is a common sight to see passengers hanging dangerously from the platforms, while public taxi cabs are insufficient to meet the de- mand Tokio will spend s10,OOO ,000 in street improvement.
 A bigger project is under way for improving Osaka, which Japanese often call the Manchester of Japan" because 1t is the chief center of the country's cotton industry. The pro- posed improvement of the streets alone will cost about S75000,0O0. A new harbor is being built which will cost about S30,000 ,O00.
 Fifty per cent of Osaka's manufac- tured products are moved through the canals of the city and more will be dug. Fifty million dollars will be ex- pended in constructing a modern sew age system.
 Tokio and Osaka, like New York, London and Paris, lack lodgings for the people. It is quite impossible to hire either a foreign style" or Japa- nese home in TokiO. Hence the sub urbs are constantly extending.
 The city of Osaka covers an area of 14 miles which is expected to be trebled when the project of greater Osaka is carried out The population of 2,000,000 is increasing rapidly.
 In Tokio and Osaka, as in New York, house rents are going up constantly and food is ever rising.
