provements. changes and increases
IN the plant Of the Walhalla plant

pany, and since then we have been
Informed that the changes contem-

mentioned by us. Instead OF the erec-
tion OF twenty homes for operatives
the plans call for sixty. and the
mill building proper will be enlarged
TO Such extent as to accommodate
double the number Of looms now
being operated. In addition to this
| the spinning department will be put
on night and day continuous running,
thus doubling the capacity Of the
mill instead Of making an increase.

Struction of the new mill building
