path to the club house had been con.
demned by the railroad authorities
and was to be fenced was an error.

The ever increasing freight traffic
at the Barton station has from time to
time made it necessary to put in adj
ditional siding until nearly all availa-
bic space has been taken. The rail-
road engineers have however found
room for another piece of siding
which switces off the main siding by
/ the granite sheds and runs between
/ the WeIch woodworking shop and the
Hanson barn where the cattle sheds
! have been located and continues on. an
angle to the highway. This will give q
place for number more cars. The
! location Of the cattle yards is not yet
known but they will probably be
placed further to the south where the
/ old highway gives room for things of
/ this nature. 1t is said that other
/ changes will be made in the spring.
