It will take more than a year to complete the entire projects Limited benefits will be felt much sooner as segments of the signalling system are installed and placed in operation. at a remarkable rate." The new signal system will also minimize the delays and inconvenience resulting from occasional equipment failures. It will enable other trains expresses and locals alike to cross over to an adjoining track and run around a disabled train.

The $750,000 project, on which preliminary engineering work has been under way for several weeks, will take visual reality tpnight when the first of a. series of steel signal bridges will be erected just west of the Hicksville station. In a far-sighted move to cope with the mushrooming growth of Nassau and eastern Suffolk, the Long Island Rail Road has launched a $750,000 engineering program that will have the effect of providing the virtual equivalent of. an additional track for the railroad's heavily traveled Main Line between Jamaica and Hicksville.

designed nation for City Council in the 14th Senatorial District. The electic will be held in November, 1957. Because of the legislative reapportionment since the last council election in 1953, there is presently no councilman living in the area, which is made up of the 7th, 9th and 12th Assembly Districts. Mr. Sessa, the first of many expected-candidates for the post, is active in fraternal, religious and veterans affairs in Bay Ridge.

He reportedly has the blessing of Harry Mortimer, 9th AD leader. The first segment of the job alone on the 6.3-mlie stretch between Hicksville and Mineola involves installation of nearly 42 miles of cable and wire; 1,500 feet of pipe for air lines to operate switches; 18 steel cabinets housing more than 400 electrical relays, and three sets of crosjs-overs to permit trains to switch from one track to the other. The LIRR has double track between Hicksville and Floral Park and four tracks from Floral Park to Jamaica. to provide better, quicker, more ting the running time of expresses I ins pre-labricated arch over and of enabling locals to make ad denendable service for the thou the tracks, on which engineers later will mount automatic signals for train control, will go up between midnight and 4 a.m., when traffic on the line is at its lightest. A second bridge also will be erected simultaneously, near Carle Mi ditional stops for the conveinence of passengers from closer-in areas.

At present, the number of stops made by local trains must be carefully planned to guard against delaying express trains behind them. "Under the new system, we will be able to convert more of our trains into true expresses making their first stop at Hicksville or beyond," Thomas M. Goodfellow, LIRR president and general manager, explained. "At the same time, it will be possible to provide more frequent service for passengers living west of Hicksville since the expresses will be able to run around the. locals.

"When the job is completed, the railroad will be able to make rush-hour use of tracks that at present must be reserved for trains traveling in the opposite direction. In the for example, westbound expresses will be able to run around locals by crossing over to the lightly traveled track. In reverse ratio, eastbound expresses in the evening will be able to bypass locals by using the westbound track. The double-signal system will make this possible without any sacrifice to safety.

The new signal system will have the doublejaarrelled effect of cut- "We're building, not only for the present, but for the years ahead, for we're convinced that Nassau and Suffolk will continue to grow Stores 365 Knickerbocker Ave. 779 Flushing Ave. 653 Grand St. 1443 Broadway 3f i y.
