CHICAGO TRACTION
PROGRAM IS LARGE
Spending of $500, 600, 900
for Transportation in Ten
Years Planned in City.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 4.-The expenditure
Of many millions for extension and
equipment, following popular ratification
OF Chicago's traction ordinance, Is ex-
pected to mitigate the unemployment
situation.
The legislation, approved at q special
election, calls for . minimum expendi-
ture Of 5000 100000 over q 10-year
period. More than half Of that amount
will be spent in the next three years
for new cars, q subway and extensions
of the surface and elevated lines.
Work will be begun within a few
weeks, the officials of the surface and
L" lines promised For two months
engineers and craftsmen have been
working on plans and specifications for
the huge project. This preliminary
work largely has been completed.
Besides the huge drain on the labor
market, the acceptance Of the traction
unification and extension ordinance as
sured the letting of large contracts for
materials.
At the peak Of construction it is es-
timated that approximately $4,000 men
will be needed to push two bores Of a
subway system under the downtown
district, lay tracks for surface and ele-
waited line extensions and build sta
tons. =
VIII Lift Realty Values.
Through the opening up OF new ter
rttory in the cityis enyirons and the
improvement Of transportation facilities
in every section of the metropolitan
area, 1t Is predicted real estate values
win be raised $1,000, 0o0, 900.
An immediate reaction to the favor
able referendum was an advance in the
stocks and bonds of the street railway
aFn
dormant. ALI Of them advanced to s
points, despite the fact that most of
them have not yielded . dividend in
years.
In building the "a miles of elevated
and subway trackage and 800 miles Of
surface lines, more than $50, 900 tons of
structural steel will be used. Other
items in the traction building program
include 100000 cubic yards Of con-
crete, 100000 cubic yards Of excava-
ton, 100000 tons Of steel rails, 100000.
600 feet of track timber and 40. 200 600
feet OF construction timber.
One thousand steel cars for elevated
and subway lines are to be ordered and
1000 steel cars for the surface system.
Problem for 20 Years.
The Chicago traction problem has
puzzled civic leaders and city councils
for 20 years. At one time there were
three companies operating elevated
lines and three operating surface sys-
TENS. Municipal ownership was q per-
sistent threat to the private owners.
In 1918 and again In 1925 municipal
ownership referendums were rejected
Samuel insult consolidated the ele-
waited roads into one system and one Of
the surface lines went into Federal re-
ownership after the other company had
absorbed the third. All of the trans
portation lines, which will be merged
under the new ordinance, were evalu-
ated at $260,O00,000.
The ordinance provides that transfers
may be made from the elevated and
subway lines TO surface cars without
an extra charge. but in tranferring from
surface cars to elevated an addition
charge Of 3 cents will be made. az"
fares are 10 cents and surface fares 7
cents.

Of the Gulf Of Trieste, founded In 1908
and capitalized at 100000 900 lire. The
other was founded In 1918 with capital
OF 100000 lire, and while successful
technically, its financial position has al
ways been difficult, and recently has
been continued as solvent only through
the courtesy Of its creditors and the de-
sire Of every one interested in the well

WHOLESALE TRADE
is REPORTED QUIET
Buying for Vacation Needs Has
Helped Retail Business, Brad
streets Review Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 4.--BrGdstreet's
says: Warm weather and buying for
vacation needs have been the chief con-
tributors 10 activity IN trade. This
mainly at retail, whereas wholesale and
jobbing trade have tended to quiet ex-
cept for the usual n1id-year sales to
close out seasonal goods. Industry has
reflected quieting down either for the
period Of the holidays or for longer
curtailments earlier planned. In the
iron and steel trade the first half Of
July Is likely to see a good deal Of idle
machinery, advance notice Of this being
given by further definite slowing down
to about so per cent of full operations,
this comparing with about 95 per cent
ruling before the holiday year ago,
when q record half years output was
being scored. In this industry. however,
there seems to be more optimism than
in some other lines, this based partly
on seasonal shutdowns helping TO re-
duce stocks and partly on the fact that
price changes recently have been few.
Another industry in which there Is
promise of considerable quiet, for a
while at least, is lumber, where present
capacity is reckoned at from so to so
per cent of normal.
