BETTER THAN EVER.
santa Fe Will Rebuild Albuquerque
Carshops on Larger Scale.

Albuquerque, N NJ, April 20-The
new car department to be erected in
this city on the ruins of the old one
which was destroyed by fire something
over a. month ago will be the finest on
the Santa F'e system and, barring
few of the latest constructed ones
there will be no better in the country.
The car shop will be 90x1S0 feet, the
wheel shop 50xSO, and the power plant
24x40 feet. The offices of the new car
car shop and the paint and storage
room will be in this building also. The
latest and most improved machinery
will be put in and in addition to this
there will be beneficial improvements
in the sanitation of the shops. The
new buildings will be practically fire
proof A separate and complete re-
vision will also be made in the car
yards. The whole arrangement will be
the most complete and will facilitate
the handling of bad order cars.
Yesterday F. H. Adams of Topeka,
engineer of shops and shop equipment,
was in the city going over the plans
and list of new machinery with Mas
ter Mechanic S. L. Bean. A copy Of
the plans are now in the hands of Gen
eral Manager A. G. Wells of the coast
lines and they will be Endorsed and
forwarded to the general offices in
few days.
It is expected that the preliminaries
will consume a month or more, but no
time will be lost and the work of con-
StructiOn will be begun at the earliest
possible moment.

Object to Only One Gate.

A new rule which forces employees of
the shops to enter the front gate and
pass out at that point is a matter of
considerable annoyance to those living
opposite the shops on South Broadway.
They contend that a gate could be
maintained on that side and another
deputy sheriff given a job. AS the
matter now stands. the men have to
come out of the front gate and cross
the tracks by way of the viaduct, while
if there was a gate on the east side
of the shops Enclosure the men could
pass out that way, which would put
them a half mile nearer home.-Albu-
