NOR" ELEVATOR FACILITIES,
Angus smith & Co. propose to erect another
elevator of capacity equal TO their present Ele-
yator A, between that storebouse and Broadway
bridge. Work will begin as early as possible in
the spring. The old Sweet warehouse, erected
in 1s4s, is to be moved directly across
the street south. and be put in
shape Tor use whenever necessity may
demand It is thought that the new
elevator can be completed before the close OF
navigation next fall: and thereafter the firm will
possess facilities for storing at least two million
bushels of grain independent Of room nccessa>
rily wasted in special bin service. The storage
capacity Of the present Elevator 4 is estimated
at l, -G.0O bushels, but it seldom contains over
one million bushels. The capacity of the new
elevator will be the same. These, with the
smaller Northwestern elevators near by, will ac-
commodate the Chicago e. Northwestern Rail-
way Tor some time to come.
