The Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern
is making some great improvements on its
line. Recently the courts directed the re-
ceivers to issue bonds that would net the
road several hundred thousand dollars, for
the purpose of relaying portions Of the
tracks and making other needed improve
ments. This work is now going on. New
rails Of greater weight than the old iron
ones are being put down, and the track is
being reballasted in many places with
stone. The car service of the Chesapeake,
Ohio q Southwestern is also being bettered
by the addition of new coaches aud the re-
fitting Of old ones in exquisite style
These steps are in line with the prediction
of Receiver John Echols, made on the oc-
casion of his visit to Memphis when the
stockholders of the road held their annual
meeting.-Commercial Appeal.
