The shops of the New York and New Eng land road in Hartford will be abandoned within thirty days and new shops will be los cated in East Hartford. This will necessi- tate the removal of 300 workingmen now in the Hartford shops. East Hartford will probably be the main repairing station of the road, more so than Norwood, iu Massachu- setts.
