NEW HAMILTON
FACTORY SITE
It is Changed to More Accessible
Location Across the Street and
Put in Excellent
Place

The site of the new interliner fac
tory coming to Hamilton at once was
changed from the original idea. At
first 1t was intended to locate the
factory on the bluff side Of Second
street and the street railway tracks,
at the foot of the bluffs below the
Broadway turn of the street railway.
Saturday night it was decided that
better location is on the fiat be.
tween Second street and the river
above Main street, where the old
Dickinson lumber yard was so long
and the sheds remained recently.
This new location is advantage ous
for transportation, as it is much
easier to build spur tracks there thar
on the bluff side of Second street
and is more accessible in many ways
