TO SPEND 100000
ON ARKANSAS LINES
Iron Mountain Will Spend
Enormous Sum in Improving
Its Lines in This State.

Arrangements have been
completed by the st Louis, Irun
Mountain & Southern Railway
to spend 100000 during the
next year in improving its lines
in Arkansas.
The Iron Mountain has LOO
miles of track in Arkansas. and
most of the money, it is said,
will be spent for heavier rails.
new sidetrack and new ballast
ing.
Owing to the fact that the
road is in the hands of the re-
receivers, it was necessary to
obtain a court order permitting
the expenditures. This order al
ready has been obtained in fed
eral court in st. Louis.
About half of the $2,000,O00
fund will be used to rebuild
track washed out during the
recent floods in Arkansas. The
Iron Mountain was hit hard by
the flood and at one time its
lines were out at II different
places.
Work Of rebuilding the track
in the flood district already is
we'll under way, and will pro-
coed without delay. All lines
were repaired temporarily to
permit of early resumption of
train service. Now, it is under
stood, the permanent work will
begin, and efforts will be made
to make the tracks more i'm
mune to high water.
Even at points not affected
by the flood, it is said, newrails
will be laid and the roadbed
generally put in better condi-
ton. Construction work in Ark
ansas will be in progress along
the Iron Mountain during the
greater part of the year.
