TO ELECTRIFY RAILROAD FOR
 THE CH|LEANS
Government Puts Aside Six and One Half Million Dol
 lars for the Scheme.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec 23-The first important railway electrifica- tion on the west coast of South America will be undertaken within the next 30 days by a New York concern which has just obtained a contract with the Chilean govern ment to electrify 233 track miles of the state lines between Santiago and Valparaiso and Llay Llay and Los Andes. The contract involves an ex- completion of the project within two years.
 Electrification of the division, which is the most important in the state railway system, will afford a saving of more than 100000 tons of coal annually and will permit, it is said, the handling of greater vol ume of traffic over the line connect ing the capital and the country's chief port The project has been pending for more than 10 years. but congressional approval was given only last December when a law was passed providing for general i'm provHhlents in the railways including eIectrifc fcation of the first zone and the purchase of new equipment
 Electrical energy will be supplied hv five sqbstations, between San ttago and Valparaiso. with a total cApacity of about 60.000 horsepower Overhead trollies will be used They will be of the simple catenary type sppported on bracket arms. The 3,000-volt direct current system will be installed for furnishing power to the locomotives of which are will be 59. ranging from 39 to 112 tons each.
