Streetcor Subway Terminal
Rushed for December Operation
Completion Of l4th Street Grode Separation
Project Expected Before Christmas

The $2,500,0O0 grade separation
project designed to carry Fourteenth
street over the new underground
street car terminal at the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing, over
Maine avenue and the Hams Point
outlet road is making such good
progress that it should be COM
pleted about December Is.
This prediction was made today
by Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director
of highways, who said he was
pleased with the operations under
way there by four contractors.
The car terminal, which will be
the first of its kind in the city, is a
kind of first STEP toward subways
for the National Capital, according
to Capt. Whitehurst.
Ramp Down to Terminal.
The Fourteenth street car line
which previously had its terminal
in the loop on Maine avenue, now
has been changed SO that there is
temporary loop near the Agricul-
ture Department. When the new
terminal is completed, the street.
| cars will proceed south on Four
teenth street, go down a ramp to
the underground terminal, turn
around the loop and take on passen-
gers in a place which will be similar
in operation to the subways of New
York City.
Passengers will enter the terminal
from the basement of both the old
and the new Bureau of Engraving
and Printing buildings. There also
will be stairways leading from the
sidewalk near C street to the ter
minal. Passengers will not pay the
conductors or motormen on street.
cars, but will be routed through
turnstiles, where Capital Transit
employees will take up the fares or
check weekly passes. This will speed
the loading of cars, which will be
able to fill up quickly and make
their getaway.
There will be no interruption to
the loading due to motor traffic
This used to be the difficulty when

passengers are getting on street cars
