The directors and commercial
bureau members Of the South Bend

to the New Jersey. Indiana and
Illinois railroad which will permit
the road 20 enter the southern part
of the city with tracks and which
will grant 1t permission to cross sew
eral streets in that section.
Direct Connections.
The resolutions bring out the
points that the spur Will bring about
direct connection with the Wa
bash railroad. a main artery of trade
between Buffalo. y Y, and Kan
sas CITY. and furnish connections
with many points OF the south and
west which are now reached only
by circuitous routes.
According 10 the plans outlined
by the railroad II will construct
yards in the southeast section on
ground acquired east of its main
line which will provide approx
mately 20 tracks for the storage of
cars. The Studebaker expansion
will increase the number of cars
moved out of south Bend by 23O q
day making thus additional trackage
necessary.
Sleeper service.
II was also stated that the con-
pany intends establishing sleeper
service between South Bend and De

The resolution adopted by the di-
rectors OF the Chamber of Com
merce is as follows:
