i ... THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., DECEMBER 12, 1916. -j. No. 95 ma shops itKcoaDrExnisn FOJt NOIITH PLATTE. If the board of directors of tho Union Pacific In Now York hoed tho recom mendations of tho officials at Omahi, North Platto will have new railroad shops that will employ sevornl times aa many men as are now employed. In the 1917 budget mado by he Omaha officials, provision Is mado for these shtfps, which will be sufficient In size to give employment to five hundred men whon oporated to the full capac ity. While those recommendations are not certain to be adopted by tho boanl of dirootors and tho appropriation made, It is believed thnt favorable action will be taken, as tho present shops aro inadequate to turn out all work needed at this terminal. If money for these shops aro ap propriatedand the sum is likely to bo nearly two hundred thousand dol lars for buildings 'and equipment it is probablo that they will be erected near the new round house. Tho 1917 budget will bo considered by tho board of directors within he next few weeks, and the outcome will then be definitely known. In view of the tho unusual traffic handled by the Union Pacific during tho past olghteon pionths and with prospects of tho vol ume continuing as large or larger in the future, thus calling for greater repair -work at this terminal, it is generally believed that tho appropria tion for the shops will bo made. :o: : A. 0.
