Subway Work Begins In 90 Days As City, Rail Agree

In a council chamber conference, officials from the Galveston Harrisburg San Antonio Railroad and the San Antonio Traction Company reached a common ground on Nolan Street subway construction. The plan calls for starting within 50 days, shortening Nolan street subway approach to 70 feet, and sharing paving and lighting costs. Subways on Lamar Street will follow once the Nolan project progresses, with concrete walls and vitrified brick pavement, 32 feet wide with two 12 foot driveways and a 4 foot walk. The railroad seeks to omit start time from the ordinance, keeping completion time while ensuring material on hand before ground is broken.
