ANDREWS CANNOT REOPEN
 STANLEY QUARTER STORE
Zoning Law Forbids Commercial Venture Which Owner Con.
 ducted for Many Years.

Charles s. Andrews. who for many years conducted a small store on Stanley street near the site of the present State Normal school. when that district was considered to be the city's outskirts and the store was regarded as serving the rural district of New Britain, has petitioned for a permit to reconstruct tho building and reopen the store. but has found that zoning make this impossible.
 The store has not been in opera ton in four years, but under the terms of lease drawn when 1t was occupied by Kolodney Brothers. that firm has been required to pay rent until very recently. The zoning map places this district in a residence zone and since the store has not been used in more than one year, it cannot now be re-opened.
 In anticipation of a move to se- cure . special exception from the board of adjustment. owners of ad- joining properties have circulated . petition of protest.

used to carry out the rock and to bring
in supplies. Through this tunnel ran
the air cNnduits which supplied all
parts Of the main tunnel, the COM
pressed air pipes which furnished power
for drills and the power lines which
operated machinery and lighted the
workings This kept the main tunnel
free of all such accessories and free
from trains.
Shortens Rail Route.
Not only did this prevent interference
with workmen in the actual tunneling
operations, but it also permitted others
to build the concrete lining without de-
lay. In all, it was possible to employ
1893 men, whereas but small per-
centage of this number could have been
used if work were done on but two
faces Besides this advantage, all dam
ger of interference by water through
downgrade tunneling was removed. In
three years about $4,000 cubic yards
of rock and earth were removed and
264, 900 cubic yards of concrete placed.
The completion of the present tunnel
marks the second step in shortening
the Great Northern route through the
mountains. The original route, con-
structed in the early COS, went through
Stevens Pass. This route was discon-
tinued in 1900 when the first Cascade
tunnel was built. This tunnel, which
was 21a miles long, shortened the route
by IL miles and lowered the summit by
about 500 feet. The smoke produced
by the steam locomotives in passing
through this long tunnel made it nee
essary to electrify this section, and this
was accomplished in 1909.
In this identification there is also a
story, for the electric locomotives which
were used were the first to use the
principle of regenerative braking.
When going down grade the system was
reversed so that the wheels of the 10
connective turned generator which fed
electrical energy back into the tracks
which helped other locomotives in the
uphill climb. Each locomotive was
small generating station using the &C
IT, n of gravity to generate electricity.
The new and larger locomotives
which will be put into use on the IS
miles of track through the mountain,
including the tunnel, are so construct
ed that this electrical braking will re-
duce the speed of a heavy freight, train
to two miles an hour without the use OF
air brakes. It will return to the tracks
on the down-hill side about IS per cent
of the energy which it uses In the up
hill climb Economy on the new loco
motives is also gained by Feeding cleo
