RAILROAD NOTES 



The Havana Central has ordered 4,500 

 tons of rails from the Maryland Steel 

 Company. 



The managers of railroads in Cuba sent 

 a petition recently to the secretary of the 

 treasury asking him to provide for the 

 payment of the state's indebtedness for 

 transportation due since last October. 



A number of extensions are to be made 

 in the near future by the Havana Electric 

 Railway, according to Frank Steinhart, 

 general manager. It is also planned to 

 construct a line from Luyano to Guana- 

 bacoa. 



A NEW ELECTRIC LINE 



Bids for the construction of an inland 

 electric line to Guanabacoa to start 

 from Luyano and to cover the principal 

 streets of that town are co be opened 

 September 21st. 



Guanabacoa, which is a suburb of Fla- 

 vana, offers a subsidy of $30,000, payable 

 in ten years, a concession to run the lines 

 through its principal streets and will also 

 exempt the company making the proposi- 

 tion from paying taxes for a period of 

 five years. 



The Havana Electric Railway Company, 

 which offered to construct this line some 

 time ago, is likely to receive the contract.
