Contractors for iron structural work talk
much more encouragingly regarding the
outlook for business than three weeks ago.
The Noelke-Haugh Company iron works

building the Catholics are erecting
at st. Mary's, which will require $50 00o
worth of iron structural work. They have

has been awarded the contract for the
iron work on the new courthouse at Fort

is figuring on a number of other buildings
with Il fair prospect Of securing some of
the awards. Hetherington e. Berner have a
number of store fronts 10 erect in this city

No Reduction in Dividends

The United States Investor
The earnings in the gross of Cleveland,
Cincinnati Chicago & st. Louis for April
show little change from those of the pre-
vous month being $1,O6S,9 7S, an increase of
$32,S7O over the corresponding month of 1896.
The operating cost, however. showed a
corresponding increase, being $685., SIP. as
compared With s794,502 in 1886. SO that the
net earnings We're only $lS00 more than
in the like period OF 1896, being S243. 4O6.
For the ten months ending April 80 the
showing is one of decrease rather than in
creases, the gross earnings for that period
being $l6,S32 200 or $549. 773 less than in 1886
operating expenses decreased 1895, 1854 being
=. loz go and leaving net earnings of 81, 769,-
COS, decrease of $151, 400 These figures
make no ALLOWANCE for "other income AS
the fixed charges for the period of ten
months would be $23S7000 after deducting
them from the net there would ONLY be n
residue of about $685., 000 to be applied TO
the preferred stock dividend, which at
the rate of per cent. calls for $500 000 The
question is, will the income from other
income make up the discrepancy? There
has been some rumor that the dividend on
the preferred would be reduced, but parties
in a position to know disclaim all knowl-
edge of any proposed reduction.

New C.. III, & ID. shous.

The plans for the shops of the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton at Lima, to replace
those burned, have been prepared and APP
proved and work will be begun to-day.
The new shops will be provided with all
modern improvements in the way of light
ing, ventilating, heating, ETC., and the best
machinery to be obtained. Before fixing on
the plan General Manager Waldo and Su-
perintendent of Motive Power Cory visited
some of the best and most modern shops
in the country, and have adopted every new
idea which looked to them as an improve
menu over the present methods. The addi-
lions to the present plant will cover four
acres. The size of the different buildings
will be: Paint shop 26Sx104; upholstering
160xS4; boiler and engine room, 40x50
freight car shop for repair work 120x224 .
the capacity of the repair shop will be 10
cars, and freight car building sheds for rs
cars will be built adjoining; air compressor
and electric light plant 49x50 The trans
tri'ity will be 60 feet wide and 44S long
The machine and car shops will be entirely
separate, each having it's own power plant
The coach, paint and car shops will have
ten tracks each. superintendent Cory said
the shops Will be equipped with the latest
ana most improved machinery that can be
had. A new CoTliss engine of 100 horse
power and two boilers, also an air com
pressor, will be put in. Nineteen pieces of
improved woodworking machinery will be
placed in the new shops and when complet-
ed a piece of timber direct from the forest
can be put in at one end of the shop and
taken out at the other end ready for its
incandescent lights viii be required to il
illuminate the buildings and grounds

More Building in Prospect.
Says Architect Gibson:


ITO the man who is always looking for a
big boom the situation is not satisfactory.
To those of us who are content with the
steady, healthy growth which is the log
zeal outcome of our actual resources there
is no occasion for announcement. 1t is my
judgment that the period of boom building
and extraordinary improvements has passed
in this country This section of the world
is less new than it once was, and we are
coming nearer to that point where we will
make investments based upon what we can
see rather than what we hope for. In this
city, in whatever direction one goes, one
sees substantial building. Times when men
are thoughtful are really good for the build
ing art. The work is more carefully
planned. and more thoroughly executed. L
have very little respect for this general idea
that there must be a building boom every
year and that must do more work each
year than the year before. If there is a
demand for building or if there is an ability
to pay for it and if it will yield a return
after it is paid for, we should all be pleased
to see the work DONE On the other hand
there is nothing more discouraging or dis
heartening in connection with the business
situation than TO see a lot of empty houses,
stores and offices.
1.-THE demand for the right kind of rental
houses is greater than the supply. The
well-planned, ully-constructed, eco
nomically-arranged dwelling or apart
ment Structure is always in a de de
expense of those who own old, dilap-
dated and ill-contrived structures. Anyone
who considers this question will find that
there is not modern, well-built rental
house in Indianapolis which is vacant. 1t
is my judgment that the outlook in arch
tects' offices is better at this time than dur
ing any of the months of this year. | am
carrying forward the usual amount of work
and have under consideration several prof.
ects, some of which will go through all
right 1 do not care to go into details in
these matters. as most of this work is for
business people who do not care to have
their affairs discussed publicly. BY the
close of this year we will have realized
healthy, normal development IN DullulnB
work, certainly all that the situation JUST
fies The city is building rapidly and is
improving in a natural, healthy way.
1.-THE building of structures like the Ste
yenson block and the Majestic will develop
certain other new buildings on valuable land
and make necessary the remodeling of many
other structures Certainly one will not
expect that the older building should remain
in the condition to leave them without ten
ants. Certainly they will not have tenants
without certain conveniences.

A Radical Departure.

The roads in the Western Freight Asso-

change to govern rates on bulky freights
and as the action meets with the approval
of every road it is likely to be effective
1t is the intention to apply per cubic foot
tariff on all articles taking minimum car
load weighs less than 1000 pounds. The
new tarit is to apply only when cars fur
nlShed cannot be loaded to the established
minimum weight, and charge must be based
upon the maximum capacity in cubic feet
or the car loaded, whether the entire space
De occupied or not, subject to minimum
charge based upon the actual weight at

Its object is TO secure the loading of light
and bulky articles in the largest cars at

nature of an experiment and is done to re-
move the hardships which the old tariff
has worked on roads which didn't own and
didnt care to own balloon cars Very few
of the roads own the big forty-six-foot

bringing about the change was the fact
that even the roads owning them hadn't
