terially increase the use Of Connect
cut-made brick in the New York
district, the New Haven road Is
working with car manufacturers
and the American Railway associa-
ton to develop a type Of car which
can be switched to a slightly elevat-
ed track from which brick can pe
delivered by gravity into trucks
without manual handling at cost
of so cents to 81 per 1000 brick
less than the present method Of
handling.
Just as soon as details OF these
cars can be worked out a number Of
cars will be provided and tracks and
driveways constructed at several
points in the I,rcnx and Westchester
county. close to the district where
a large portion of the brick is being
used. 1t is hoped that these cars
and facilities will be available this
year and that the use Of Connecti-
cut-madc brick in the New York dis
trict will be materially increased.
