WORK STARTS on
SHORT LINE IMPROVEMENTS
New Turn Table and Big Water Tank First on
the List-Double tracking of Road to Follow
Immense Pay Roll Here This Year.

While the weather has been un.
favorable so far for the prosecution
OF the work as outlined for this sea-
son by the Short Line Railroad
company, yet there is considerable
activity in the local yards, in pre-
Paration for the big things which
are to come. The first work to be
done here will be the installation
of an lO0-foot turn table and the
erection of a 500, 900 gallon steeI
water tank.
Mr.. J. A Kelly, who will super
intend this work, arrived here Sun.
day and Monday morning he put Q
small force of men at work getting
material unloaded and shaping
things up for the active construc.
tion work which will begin in few
days. Mr.. Kelly will work force
OF about 90 men and it will require
something like two months to com.
plete the two improvements above
mentioned.
The new tank will be located just
west of the machine shop, while the
new turn table will be installed on
the site of the present one. The
material for it will weigh 100 tons
and the table will be of sufficient
size to hold the largest locomotives
which will ever be used by the Short
Line on the First or Second districts
1t will be operated by electricity.
The material for the new water
tank has not yet arrived but MIR.
Kelly says that it will be here BY
the time he is ready for it.
Besides experimenting this work,
Mr.. Kelly will also superintend the
construction of the bridges between
Dlngle and Pescadero, which vii
be required because of the double
tracking Of the road this year be.
tween the above named points
There are eight or ten small bridges
to be constructed in this distance.
With the work outlined above
together with other Improvement
to be made in the local yards, no
the least of which will be the new
passenger station and freight house
and the double tracking Of 90 mile
of the road, 1T is plainly to be seer
that Montpelier will be the fvelies

She stood breast high amid the

Clasped by the golden light of

On her cheek an autumn flush
Deeply ripened. Such blush
In the midst of brown was born.
Like red poppies grown with
corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell.
Which were blacklist none could
tell.
But long lashes yelled a light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat. with shady brim.
Made her tressy forehead dim.
Thus she stood amid the stocks.

The New Banking Bill

The administration banking bill
faily meets the fundamental condi.
-ions of sound bank reform. It con.
centrates bank reserves and makes
such reverses legally available in a
pinch-as they should be. 1t makes
commercial paper strictly liquid as.
set by authorizing the Federal reserve
Institutions to rediscount it at all
times and to draw upon the credit
of the Government if necessary for
that purpose.
This feature does away with the
present dependence of city banks up
on stock-exchange loans for secondary
reserve, and will tend to make money
cheaper for legitimate business pur
poses; also, it insures against any
collapses of credit as occurred in 1893
and 1907. The bill recognizes the
indubitable fact that paper arising ou,
of legitimate commercial transactions
is the soundest basis for credit cur
rency. 1t knts the banks more close
ly together and puts the Treasury
INTO a rational relationship with them
The chief difference between this
bill and the Aldrich plan is, not that
the bill confers broader functions up
on the district or regional reserve in
stitutions but that it places control
over the banking system in different
quarter.
Broadly speaking, the new machin
cry the Aldrich plan proposed for the
purpose of knitting the banks togeth
er and to the Government would be
largely controlled by the banks them
selves, while the new machinery this
Dill proposes for the same purpose
will be controlled almost wholly by the
Government.
Under the Aldrich plan the banks
themselves might injuriously initiate
or contract credit. Under the AID
ministration plan board, seven OF
whose nine members are appointed
by the president, might do the same
thing. There is the chief difference.
We have no doubt that the Admins.
tration bill, if substantially enacted
into law, will effect very beneficial
banking reform-Saturday Evening
