DRESSING'S Music House Sale Price in Yuma $245.00 E. H. DRESSING, Agent This Is a Wonderful Combination of Phonograph and Radio PITTSBURGH April 000,000 project that will nieail the straightening of a street, widen- ng of several others, an addition, ot a railroad passenger wrecking of a freight enlargement of a tunnel and other, miscellaneous items. Is expected, to start in Pittsburgh April 1. i These tasks are included in th'e Pennsylvania railroad's plan for the improvement of Its passenger terminal facilities, and it is estimated athnt ten.

years will have elapsed before the whole project has been completed. The major portion of the work, however, or that which will have the greatest effect on train service, probably will be finished within five years. Just what the improvement will mean to the railroad was explained recently by Robert Trimble company engineer, who paid it would speed np passenger a i in and around Pittsburgh and wonld do away with delays that through trains some times experience on their hauls in the smok city. To the extent that passenger traffic will be speeded up freight traffic also will benefit Mr. Trimble said, although the new tracks arid improvements wil have no direct hearing on thif part of the system's operations.

The first thing that will ho undertaken will be the straishtonin of Grant Street. This thoroughfare starts on a straight line from the main business burgh toward section of Pitts the Pennsylvania erniinal. When it reaches Seventh Avenue, however, it seems for standing in front ot it is a freight house. Despite appearances, however, a Street goes on, but it is necessary to down Seventh Avenue a short distance before the elusive thoroughfare is picked up again. Under the railroad's plan the obstructive freight house will be removed and Grant Street will continue unhindered on its course to the terminal.

On Ihe last stretch, from Seventh Avenue to Ihe station, the street i be widened from 60 to 80 feet. On the east side Of this new thoroughfare, indications point to the possibility of a new postoffice for Pitsuurgh. The government had held a site on Liberty Avenue for this purpose, but the railroad needed this space for new tracks in connection with the improvement. A deal was effected whereby the spaces were traded On cither side of the station proper, at the present time, are several tracks. One side is use for trains on the Panhandle an the other for trains on the For Wayne division.

Passengers coming from or going to these trains must crops Ihe (racks, ami it is plnnnod to build tunnels under nentll to eliminate this necessity A i U'llO foot Ions run ning between the terminal and thf Fourth Avenno station will widened to permit the passage- two trains within its walls.
