RICHLAND COUNTY.
Mansfield is now happy. The U S. |
r ilIing Stock Company will make
that city central point for the repair |
and storage of cars formerly used by
the a. & G. w. railway. The Herald
says that there are about 800 cars al !
together, scattered up and down the
road, aud it will require fifteen miles
of track to accommodate them. The
ground leased to the company for this
purpose contains about thirteen acres,
lying south of the B. & o. road and
west of McVay & AlIison's lumber
yard, aud work will be commenced
Immediately. Mr.. Barney Wolf has
been appointed Superintendent, with
authority to employ men and teams
to lay the tracks. When this portion
of the work is completed the cars will
be shipped to this point, and switcheP
on the new track, leading across Null
berry street and out to the grounds
leased from the Council. From there
they will be run down to the old Bly,
myer, Day & Co.'S machine shops,
which, we understand, have been
leased by the company, the trucks
changed, the bodies repainted, and
then shipped to other points. II this
project is fully carried out it will give
a new impetus to the otherwise stag
nant state of affairs here, and be the
means of furnishing employment to a
great many men Mansfield has 81.
