The engineers OF the B. & N. railroad
are now at work drawlng-plans for the
assembling yards, The definite loca,
tion is not fixed as yet, but the com.
pany has several locations in view.
The plans include yards in the differ,
ent localities under consideration.
The work Of the officials Of the rail
road isnow beginning and the definite
location Of the large freight yards will
be followed by letting Of the contracts
for the rails and crossties. Plans for
the station at Morgantown are al
ready being worked out, and will be
ready for approval,in a short time.
In connection with. the location Of
the freight yard, it is "up to- the peo.
pie Of Morgantown to get busy. In.
ducements, and large inducements,
must soon be offered to the B. & NJ,
IL Morgantown is TO secure these
yards. Since the first announcement
was made that the road would be built
local people have considered 1t an as.
sured fact that the main yards Of the
company with the enormous freight
business, which will follow the COM
tpletion,of the road and the opening Of
mines and indnstries along the line,
would ne loea ted yg the imSnled. m 81

Owing to- the opposition from pep
pie 6Riing9Iaddt along the proposed
right 6t@ay, the officials are not an
xious to give MorgaptoYn any fay,oEs. 70
They now have several possible, losc;aii
ittonsT fofN the, wards under, considerIaii
ittof and 1t will require. some INDUCE
r,ients IRON local people II Morgan;
town ist6 be the freight distributing p "
point and to possess the immense
yards now planned. This is a warn
ing issued by an official Of the B. &
N, who is willing to have the yards
here, but states that the local people
will have to work, and work soon, at
that, II they would secure the valuable
B. & N. plant
Differences between the B. & 0. and
the B. 6 N. over the connection Of the
two roads at Rivesyille have arisen
recently although the final result OF
these differences will have no bearing
on the opening Of the road next year,
officials Of the B. e N. Claim that
they should lay the track from Muir
ray to Rivesville, the grade for which
the B. 4 %. completed some time ago.
Should the difficulty not be settled
the road will be run into Falrmont on
the eastern bank of the Monongahella
river iand over the original route. The
B. & N. several years ago secured per-
mission from the war department to
build. a bridge over the river near
Riyesvllle. This grant has never
been reypked, and since the road has
already purchased the right Of way
for the line into Fairmont, It Is pos
slble that this route may be agreed
upon, instead Of the connection with
the Pawpaw branch Of the B. & o.
below Rlvesyille.
The officials Of the two roads are
now at loggerheads concerning the
constitution OF the short stretch OF
road and until the result OF confer
ences now being held is announced
the definite location Of the road into
Fairmont cannot be determined.
