Will SPEND
MILLION ON
new SHOPS
Car Shortage Causes G.. N
to Increase Facilities for
Building Carriers

Extensive additions to the Great
Northern railroad shops at Superior.
Wis, st. Cloud, and Great Falls, Mont
involving an expenditure of approx
mately $1,000, 900 and practically doub-
ling the capacity of aech of the plants,
have been announced by officials of
that road.
The contract for additions to the ST.
perior shops was let in New York to
the Westinghouse-Churc Co. of
New York, on bid of about 100000.
The contract for the additions to the
Great Falls plant was awarded to Grant
Smith & Co., of st: Paul, at about the
same figure. and the contract for the
additions to the st. Cloud shops cost
ing approximately 100000 will be let
shortly.
Work on all of the additions will be
started as soon as possible and the
work pushed so that the new plants
will be ready for operation by fall.
The inability of the railroads to get
car orders filed and the enormous bus
mess done the past year causing the
most pronounced shortage of cars ever
known, led to the decision to add to
the capacity of the company's own
shops. it is said.
The shops at all places have been
running at full capacity for the past
year and yet have not been able to
take care Of the demands upon them.
The additions are expected to place the
company in shape to meet all demands
for repair work as we'll as enable the
company to build a great many freight
cars in their own shops.
