The iccing of refrigerator cars in
transit at the plant in this city is
showing a big increase as com
pared with last year, and if .the
gain holds good throughout the
season, the aggregate business
will be startling.
The comparison is as follows:
1900
Cars iced in May 574
Cars iced in June 963
Pounds of ice used in May 1,727,200
Pounds ot ice used in June 3,115,300
1901
Cars iced in May 723
Cars iced in June 1476
Pounds of icciiBed in May 1,903,400
Pouuds of ice used in June 4,300,500
This statement shows that 146
more cars were iced in May, 1901,
than in May, 1900, and 513 more in
June, 1901, than in June, 1900.
At the present time there arc be
tween forty and fifty men working
at the ice plant, and this number
will be increased later in the sea
son when the big rush of fruit is
on.
More Machinery for the Shops
The Union Pacific officials have
decided to increase the working
facilities of the local shops, and to
that end will in a few months send
additional machinery here. The
new shops in Omaha are to be sup
plied with new machines through
out, which will call for discarding
all those now in use. The better
clasB of these machines will be
brought here and installed in the
shops. By the use of this additional
machinery it will be possible to do
the work more quickly and thus
increase the output, It will pro
bably also result in a slight increase
in the working force.
In this connection it is said that
an addition to the shops will be
erected within the year.
Committee Confers with Architect.
R. W. Grant, of Lincoln, who
designed the new high school
building, was in own Tuesday and
held a conference with the commit
tee which was given power to
secure the construction of a Mason
ic temple. Mr. Grant was given
general ideas of the building de
sired and he will draw plans in ac
cordance therewith. It was orig
inally intended to construct a
temple which would have two
store-rooms on the ground floor,
but this plan has practically
been discarded. It is now
proposed to erect a two-story
building that will be used exclu
sively for lodge purposes. The
lower floor to be devoted to a ban
quet hall and private paraphanalia
rooms, and the upper floor as a
lodge hall.
Mr. Grant will prepare the plans
in the immediate future, and when
tbey are received by the committee
definite action will be taken.
