SummaryResumen

An Associated Press dispatch from Puerto Plata reports that extensive repairs have begun on the Dominican Central railroad between Puerto Plata and Santiago, in line with the wishes of the United States military government, including new deviations that will reduce the grade from twelve percent to a maximum of three percent. Tons of tobacco, coffee and cacao have accumulated unmoved at Santiago, and other work described includes a new wharf and customs house at Puerto Plata, a hydro-electric project to serve Santiago, Moca, La Vega and Puerto Plata, rebuilding the bridges on the Santiago to Monte Cristi road that revolutionists burned last spring to check the advance of United States Marines, and a macadam road from Macoris to Santo Domingo City.
