laurels. Yesterday at Gasoline Alley
with his Ring Free Special tuned
for another run in preparation for
the qualification trials, a gnishap
in the garage forced Meyer to tear
down his mount and clean the oil
tank and line.
1t is the third time during the
pre-race preparations that he has
been thwarted in his plans. In az
carly test he cracked a cylinder
block, and last week in an attempt
to qualify the car, it became over
heated after four laps. Yesterday
an oil heater became too hot and
melted, dropping sand into the OIL
tank.
Meyer will have his charger ready
for qualifications this weekend, but
the delay will shorten the tests he
had planned.

the lack of confidence growing out of some of the governments pro- grams. Many industrialists hesitate to expand their plants or to replace deteriorated or obsolete buildings in the face of a huge government def icit and an unbalanced budget, which have created conditions that may lead to grave consequences if they are continued much longer. One of the weakest spots of the construction industry is the low level of building operations in the electric power industry, where building activity is being restricted because of the threat of increasing competition from government owned and operated electric power plants.
 Although the position of the con- Struction industry as a whole has improved with comparative slow ness and as yet has not played an important part in bringing about recovery, it could and should exert great influence in the business re- vival still to be made.

RAILWAYS AIDED
 BY BOND ISSUES

Railroad financing in the first nine months of 1886 amounted to $731, ,293, 300, of which $691, ,293, 300 was accomplished through the sale of long-term bonds and notes, and the balance by means of short term bonds and notes. No new stock issues were sold during the first three quarters of 1896.
 Of the total amount of railroad financing in. this period $221, ,417,- 585 represented new capital and $499, ,876,315 went for refunding pur- poses. These figures are taken from a report just issued by the Con- mercial & Financial Chronicle.
 Financing by the railroads in the first nine months this year was the largest for any similar period dur ing the last five years. In the first nine months of 1885 such financing amounted to $175,643, 900; in the corresponding period of 1884 is stood at $222, ,960, 100; in the same months of 1883 at $99, 9,994, 500, and in the first three quarters of 1892 at $44,- 152,00O.

 Historic Road Event
no Years Have Elapsed Since Original Use of Rails
 in Granite Railway Transportation

Monday, October g, 1926, reported: This Rail-Road, the first we be- lieye in this country, was opened on Saturday in the presence of num- Der of gentlemen who take an in- terest in the experiment. A quan- tity of stone weighing 16 tons, taken from the ledge belonging to the Bunker Hill Association, and loaded on three wagons, which together weight five tons, making a load of 21 tons, was moved with east, by a single horse, from the quarry in the landing above Neponset River, distance of more than three miles. The road declines gradually the whole way, from the quarry to the landing, but 50 slightly that the horse conveyed back the empty wagons, making a load of five tons. After the starting of the load, which required some exertion, the horse moved with ease in a fast walk" Later, as many as four cars were coupled together, to move larger stones weighing up to GA tons.
 On this small railway, Bryant developed several aids to transpor- tation including the frog, the switch, the movable truck for the eight. wheeled car, the turn-table, and the snow blow.
