Is FREIGHT CARS

The rebuilding of more than % coal
and freight cars of the Cape Girardeau
Northern Railway will be started In
few days, it was learned yesterday.
The contract for the work has not as
yet been let, B. w. Fletcher, general
manager of the railroad said yester-
day evening. =.
C. S. Simpson, formerly employed in
Oklahoma City as car foreman in the
service of the Frisco, has been placed
in charge of the repair work. He will
remain here in the Cape until the
work base been completed.
The costs of the reconstruction of
these cars can not be estimated at this
time. Mr.. Fletcher said, as the bids
of the contractors had not been open
ed at this time.
A bill is now pending before Con-
gress providing that the government
take over all short-line railroads.
There are a number of these lines in
Southeast Missouri, the c. G. N. be-
ing one of the largest of these small
railroad systems. 1t is believed the
reconstruction of the freight cars of
the railroad is prompted by the pro-
posed government act to take over
the small railroads. =.
