Men Of Science Seeking to Discover

Out in tho Nevada desert the pro-

years ago.
Among the discoveries is an ante

/. Y. MAKING
CHANCES HERE
Rebuild Freight Station and
Construct New Siding.

Extensive alterations and changes
are being made by the Lehigh Valley
railroad at its New Brunswick ave-
nue. station that will cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 when completed.
The bank at that place has been cut
down and two new tracks have been
laid that will allow sixty more cars
to stand in the yard on the sidings.
The yard has all been repaved, which
is a great convenience to the milk
dealers and others having to get to
the freight station at that place.
Besides these improvements the
freight Office is being rebuilt and
the freight house enlarged. The lat
ter will have fifty feet added on to
it. With the new crane Installed
there some time ago and the COM
pletion of these Improvements it will
make quite a difference to those
having to use the freight depot.
