facilities for handling the business, and
the work of grading for two new side.
tracks in the union yards is now under
wav. The tracks will extend the full
length of the yards and east nearly to
the river, to be built on the north side
of the main track, and when completed
will add greatly to the capacity of the
roads for handling traffic. Beginning
with the opening of the sugar campaign,
the yards have been in congested con.
dition during the greater portion of the
winter months, making the handling
of the cars very tedious to officials and
employees. With the new tracks the
work will be greatly lessened. The i'm.

as shipping center. Wood & Doughty
are the railroad contractors doing the
work and it is under the supervision of
