Some weeks ago 1t was stated In

plans for making Waxahachie a d.
vision point for a through freight
service in connection with the Den

In order to carry out these plans 1t
was conceded that round house

freight crews OF the above mention
ed roads would operate between
Waxahachie and Fort Worth via
Dallas. This place Is already the end
OF the Brazos Valleys local freight
division and now it seems that the
roads terminal headquarters are to
be established here. 1t was learned
Saturday afternoon that the road has
under consideration a proposition to
locate repair shops here. Rumors to
this effect are accentuated by the
fact that additional land was recent
" purchased here and that
other purchases are in contempla-
ton. 1t is said that the shops are to
be located on this land and that they
will require for operation force of
about $50 laborers and machinists.
