Work Of Increasing Railroad Faeili-

Change TO be Made
Soon.
THE NEW 20" TRACT
Burlington VIII Tear Out Yards

for Their New
Approach.

The new railroad yards from Bank
street to the round house have prac-
tically been completed and orders are
expected at any time to abandon the
present switching yards about tho
union depot.
both by increasing business and the
change in the Burlington tracks APP
preaching the depot. The new APP
proach Of the 20" tracks begins above
the dam where the water power COM
pany is elevating the tracks to put
them above the water line and runs
several feet south of the present
track from Main street to the depot.
Most of the tracks now used for
switching facilities along the river
near Main street will be torn up and
all the switching transferred to the
lower yards. The present switching
facilities are entirely inadequate and
the switching of cars at street CROSS
ings is very dangerous.
The new yards contain ample
switching space and are almost free
from road crossings. The work on
them has extended over a period of
several months and they are rapidly
being pushed to completion. They
are built to take care of the great in
crease in business that will come with
the new industrial development OF
the city and are conveniently located
to handle traffic to and from the new
Industrial section. The expense of
building has amounted to several
thousands of dollars and the tearing
out of the yards above the depot and
the relocation of the tracks will be
very expensive.
This need for new railroad facili-
ties demonstrates the prosperity OF
keolsuk manufactures and the reali
cation upon the part of the railroad
companies of the increase in business
that Is to come.
