MAY BUILD BIG
WAREHOUSESHERE
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Will Have Considerable
Property on Hand.
WEATHER CAUSES DELAY.
Operations on New Shops at
Todd's Cut Will Begin With
Earnest in the
Spring.

It is understood in railroad cir
cles that very little work will be
done on the new shops at Todd's
Cut during the winter months. The
cold weather would freeze the NOR
tar and cause it to crumble and fall
from between the bricks. This would
necessarily weaken the structure
and as the railroad company wants
to have substantial buildings work
will be deferred until spring.
The announcement in yesterdays
REPUBLICAN of the course of the ell
evated railroad caused quite a furry
among the railroad men. When
they heard that some of the shops
were to be torn down they natural
ly felt anxious. The shops will not
be removed however until the new
shops at Todd's Cut are completed.
Only the buildings that can be dis
pensed with for the present will be
destroyed and the retaining wall
will be erected on the property that
is not being used, the same as has
been done on the west side of French
street and along Water street.
The operation at Todd's Cut are
OF q stupendous nature and al
though an army of men is employ
ed there it will probably be two
years before the work is completed.
1t can be seen, therefore, that the
men in the shops need not be afraid
for some time of being thrown out
Of employment.
Report has it that when the rail.
road company finishes all its contem-
plated improvements in this city and
cleans away the shops, round house
and coal Shules, it will erect i'm.
mense store houses on the site for
firms like the Armour Company, etc.
Each OF the firms occupying these
houses would have a local
agent here as is done in the larger
cities. This is merely rumor but
the railroad company will have a
amount of real estate
at its disposal in this city when all
the buildings have been razcd.
What will be done with the property
is now the ground Of specu alton.
