RAILROAD TO LAS TUNAS 



The work on the railroad which will con- 

 nect Manati sugar mill with Victoria de 

 las Tunas will shortly begin and it is be- 

 lieved the road will be running before the 

 end of the year. Sr. Jose Beola, president 

 of the Holguin and Gibara railroad, is in- 

 terested in the new enterprise and stated 

 emphatically in the early part of February 

 to the editor of the Reviczv that the road 

 would be built. The guage is 36 inches. 



The new road will tap a rich section of 

 Oriente Province, and luring all the towns 

 between Tunas and Manati on the north 

 coast in touch with the rest of the island 

 as it will connect with the Cuba Railroad. 



CUBAN CENTRAL RAILWAYS 



The earnings of this road, which is now 

 a part of the United Railway system, is 

 given for the week ending February 21st 

 as £20,108. For the same week in 1913 the 

 earnings amounted to £19,321. An increase 

 is accordingly shown in the 1914 earnings 

 as compared with those for 1913 of £787. 



The Cuba Railroad will construct a 

 wharf and storehouse at Punta Salinas, 

 Nipe Bay, to facilitate the discharging of 

 vessels drawing more than 30 feet. The 

 tracks will also be extended from Antilla 

 to Punta Salinas.
