contemplated, have to be done in
Providence, and the New York shops
will be removed to this city at an early
date. This will require the employ

that have already been practically
placed
THE full import of these words of
Mr.. Hoadley may not appear at first
glance. When it is considered that
the removal of the New York shops to
this city and their enlargement on the
pans contemplated by the 1nterna-

with which either the Corliss works or
! the Rhode Island Locomotive works
would bear about the same relation as
the tail of a dog to the body, some idea

the carrying out of the above plans
will mean to Providence.
There is no doubt in the mind of
Mr.. Hoadley or any of the members of
the enterprising corporation CT which
he is the head, sthat in Providence they
have struck the greatest place for the
carrying out of their particular line of
work to be found in the whole United
States. Here are to be obtained on
shortest notice the most skilled me-
chanics, and here also are the great.
