Much Staging Built
For Station Painting

The interior woodwork of the ran
road station is being reprinted, the
first time it has been touched since
the station was completed. In order
to accomplish this, it has been neces-
sary to build a most elaborate stag
ing arrangement, which gives the
workers access to the woodwork in
the ton of the main waiting room.
It will be observed that there is a
great deal of woodwork in that sec
ton of the building and that ladders
could not be conveniently placed to
set at this work. The staging affords
ample working space for the crew.
