rOKli) TO HAVE SUBWAY
FIRST CITY IN JAPAN
TOKIO, July 22— Tokio is to have
a subway, the first in Japan, a char
ter for which has just boon granted.
This is part of a big plan for improve
ments in tianspoitation facilities in
Tokio and Osaka which will involve
the expenditure of many millions of
dollars. The decision of the authorit
ies to undeitake these improvements
has followed bitter complaints of poor
service.
Owing to the increasing population
the street cars of Tokio are so over
crowded that it is a common sight to
see passengers hanging dangerously
from the platforms, while public taxi
cabs are insufficient to mcot the de
mand. Tokio will spend $10,000,000 in
street improvement.
A bigger project is under way for
improving Osaka which Japanese of
ten call the "Manchester of Japan”
because it is the chief center of the
country’s cotton industry. The pro
posed improvement of the streets
alone will cost about $75,000,000. A
new harbor is being built which will
cost about $.‘>0,000,000.
