During the next four years It will be their task to build new stations, lay down lines where none presently exist, double sections of track which now nave only slnRle linen, eliminate grade crossings, electrify stretches now vuvorca ay aiunm lines ana nulla bridges and bore tunnels to shorten Mil rilatnTmpm. Others In factories will construct new high-speed electric locomotives, aerodynamic coachea and additional first, second and third-class coaches lor the ever Increasing traffic. The object of all this feverish activity Is to make traveling safer and more comfortable, bring railways to points not served, Improve the service to other centers and shorten the rail time between porta and fron tier towns to Rome In time for the 1841 world fair. Deadline Net In 11112 Fascists predict that every Item on me mil win do completed, even to me msi ooit, oy April 31, mil, when the home fair Is to be Inaugurated. One of the most Important single items on tne program Is the con struction of the new 98.000.000 elec tric underground railway to Join Rome and the world fair, which will ce on tne outskirts or the capital. The underground section will run from Rome's central railway station, down the Via Cavour to the colos aeum. thence to Maxlmiis Circus and along tne new Vlale Africa to St. Paul's Date. Hero It will come to the surface and for some distance use the tracka or the existing Rome-OHIa Una. It will branch off at Tre Fon tane where the fair grounds are lo cates. The railway will be seven miles long. It will have two lines or tracks and the power will be auppllxi by overhead cables. Each train will have alx coaches equipped with auto ,matlc closing doors.
