MONT BLANC TUNNEL.—A completed section of the seven-and-a-quarter-mile road tunnel. Italian and French miners, who for nearly three years have been boring their way through the base of Mont Blanc, met for the first time when the last four yards of rock was blasted away to open a way in the £14,000,000 tunnel. The tunnel, which will be open to traffic in 1964, will shorten the Paris-to-Rome journey by 125 miles.
