Regular revenue operation of the new subway is scheduled to start at midnight, Saturday. Inaugural ceremonies are to be held the day before at 11 a. m. Saturday on the loading platform of the station under Dearborn st.

between Washington and Madison sts. Nearly 12 years in the making, the Milwaukee-Dearborn subway was built at a cost of 539,600,000. With the State st. subway, this brings the investment in Chicago's underground transportation facilities to 73 million dollars. Of this cost, the federal government contributed 525,967,000 under a public works grant of the '30s.

War Halted Work Construction of the Milwaukee-Dearborn tubes was begun March 15, 1939. The subway was about 82 per cent completed by 1942 when work was halted by the war. Work was resumed in 1916, but progress was slow because of postwar material and man power difficulties. The new subway, which will be used by trains of the Logan Square branch of the rapid transit elevated system, is 3.99 miles long. This compares with 4.9 miles of the State st.

subway, which was placed in operation in 1943. ffmSubwcv Tracli in Median of Congress Si Expressway lTH ST.
