SANTA FEE
WILL ENLARGE
Shops at Fort Madison to Be Made
Biaoer to Accommodate Work
That Will Be Done
Next Spring.

FORT MADISON, Nov. 22.-That
the Santa Fe Railroad company Will
begin it's work of enlarging all OF It's
buildings of the shops here, prepare
tory to doubling the capacity Of the
local shops, next spring, is according
to a rumor, apparently based on good
foundation and which is current In
Offices, and shops of the railroad com
pany, Work has already started on
erection of two large buildings.
The improvements which will ag
gregate a million dollars, according
to estimates, made several years ago
will give Fort Madison one of the
largest railroad shops in the United
States. &
The work win include the enlarg
ing of the machine, boiler and erect
ing shops as well as contributory de
uartments, while the car shops will
likewise be enlarged, it is declared
Plans for this work were laid by
the railroad company some years age
but the working out of the project
was delayed by the war. The com
pany, however, has erected some OF
the buildings most needed.
In the event Of the erection OF
the BUILDINGS SlI1Q cuuiIlOuS uSlC, oil
of the light repair and general over
hauling work on locomotives assign
ed to the eastern grand division OF
the road, between Chicago and Kan
sas City, a large part of which has
been going to the Topeka shops, will
be brought here. The move will be
one of great economy, 1t is said.
The report is regarded with much
credence in view of the previously
stated plans of the company and the
knowledge that the conditions
brought on by the war and govern
ment control of railroads halted the
work.
Contractors are now building a
large wash room for employees of the
shops and another for engine
men in the yards. One of the build
ings will have dimensions Of 80 by
60 feet and the other will be 12C
feet by 60 feet Both will be one
story in height and Of brick snd
steel construction. A feature will
be bath rooms for workers.
