property with a view to changing the
location OF the company's shops here.
Under present conditions, great loss
of time and money results from the
necessity OF trucking and moving ma
chinery and engines from the round
house to the shops and other losses
resulting from the distance separating

buildings about the rO,rnd-house and
thus secure the advantages of having
the buildings close together.

years ground has been staked on and
reports made to the company as to
what could be done in the way of OBJ
