The first order for the increase of the
force in the Seaboard shops was received
here Sunday.
This order was in conformity with the
server two weeks ago with General Super
intendent Maher of the Seaboard who
said:
THE loss sustained by Raleigh in the
removal of the offices of the first divis-
ion will be more than made up by the
addition Of machinery to the shops and
the increase in the shop force here. There
will be additions of machinery and in
creases in the force of employees from
lime to time. Raleigh is an important
point on the Seaboard and we expect to
do all necessary work here
The new order which was received here
Sunday by Superintendent Huger of the
second division. directed that sufficient
force of machinists and workmen be
added to the shop force to meet needed
requirements. How many additional men
will be put on here railroad people could
not say yesterday, but. the general opin-
ion was that there would be large adj
dition.
1t is General Superintendent Makers
idea to do all the necessary repairing to
engines and cars on this end of the road
in Raleigh. Not only is it an extra ex-
pense to carry equipment to Portsmouth,
but much time is lost in sending it back
wards and forth.
Both General Superintendent Maher
and superintendent Huger are in favor
OF enlarging the shop force in Raleigh
and the start was made Sunday when
the order for the increase in the force
of men here was received The re-
suit will be that nearly all the repair on
this end of the second and first divisioI6
will be done here.
