London Underground
Stretches

LONDON - CP) - London's
sprawling giant of a subway sys-
tenn is taking its biggest stretch in
81 years. The underground, as it's
called, is opening 10 miles of new
life and nine new stations in the
northeastern and northwestern sub
urbs.
That will give it 243 miles of line
and 278 statiOns-mOre railroad
than in all of Paraguay and enough
to reach from New York to below
Washington. It's the biggest extern
sion at one clip since 1917. It was
accomplished by electrifying old
steam tracks-the underground
runs on the surface in the outskirts.
But at that it has cost $4,000. 900
dollars.
Five and three-Quarter miles of it
are in the northeast and four and a
quarter miles in the northwest
They're in addition to seven miles
opened last December and two last
May. That makes 19 miles for the
year.
The network has grown up grad
ually since 1868. It started with
steam engines and open coaches. 1t
switched to electric power beginning
in 1906. Passengers had been COM
planning about the smoke.
A public authority, the London
Passenger Transport Board, took it
over from private owners in 1888
and it was natiOnalized with the rest
OF Britain's railroads, last Jan. l.
