FAIRFIELD DEVELOPMENT

The biggest of all of these developments
is that of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company at Fairfield, construc-
ton work on which was begun over two
years ago, but which were completed and
put in operation during the present year.
The total investment in these develop
ments is stated to be around s20,000000,

the plants this year. The new plants
included in this development are the plate
mill, rolling mill, blooming mill, fab
ricating plant and by-product coke ovens.
The plate. rolling and blooming mills and
the fabricating plant are in operation and

resent an investment of over $1,000 900.

FIRST OF THE TRON HORSES
Was Known as BEST Friend" and
Had Its Trial Trip About Eighty
Eight Years Ago.

The first successful locomotive
built in America was the Best
Friend, which was built at a foundry
in West Point, N. Y, and was given
its first trial trip So years ago.->Dur-
ing the previous year Peter Cooper,
the New York philanthropist, had
constructed locomotive at his iron
works near Baltimore. This loco
motive, called the Tom Thumb, was
tried on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, but it was too small to have
much practical value. A locomotive
was imported from England in 1929
and served as a model for the Amer
lean builders, although it was itself
a failure. Several years passed aft
er the successful test Of the Best
Friend before locomotives were very
widely used on the few American
railroads. These roads were owned
by the state, and any person owning
a car and locomotive might have use
of the tracks. This condition of af-
fairs did not last long, and the rail-
roads passed into the control of pri-
vate corporations, which owned the
lines as well as the locomotives and
rolling stock.

Merchants Association Meets.

The possibilities of having a
Government Pork Inspector in
this section was the major SUBJ
ject for discussion at Monday
nights meeting of the Lambert
vile Merchants Association,
when the vice-president, Mayor
Theodore Balderston, presided.
James B. Whitley of the
Hooker Sausage Company, a
local concern which is in a posi-.
ton to buy large quantities OF
pork from the neighboring far
mers, is unable to do so at this
time because the U. S. Govern
ment mas no inspector in this
section. While the farmers
have plenty of pork to sell, of
just the quality needed, it cannot
be bought on account of this in
ablIlty to secure inspection, and
it is necessary to purchase
Western hogs, which have al
ready had federal inspection.
No decisive action was taken,
but the matter will be looked in
to, and if possible, influences
will be put to work to secure an
inspector for this section as soon
as possible.
The annual meeting and
luncheon will be held on Monday
evening, April 81, and the pres
ident appointed Messrs. William
Hunt, Frank Bailey, Harry E.
VanHorn, George B. Horner and
James B. Whiteley as members
of the committee to arrange fo1
the eats. A speaker on business
topics will be secured, if possible
