The New York Central Railroad
Co. is contemplating making several
important changes. One, which af-
fects Goshen. is that arrangements
are being made for the installation
OF telephones at telegraph offices all
along the route OF the Cleveland.
Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis
Railway Co. Chg FOUR. The work
in this dire ction has already been
commenced on the southern division
OF that road. If that plan is effect
ed on this division il will mean that
the Big Four telegraph Office here
will be closed and the work will be
carried on in the New York Central
tower.
Another important change which
is being planned is that of moving
the New York Central dispatche RS
Offices from headquarters at Chi
cago and Toledo to Elkhart. The
Elkhart Offices will then have
charge of the road between Chi
cago and Toledo instead Of between
rElkhart and Chicago as heretofore.
If this merger is made the Office Of
the dispatcher at Buffalo will be
transferred 10 Cleveland. giving the
Cleveland Office jurisdiction over the
entire road between Toledo and
Buffalo
