A 1 - ' y THE .BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 19181 1. v r SOUTH SIDE STOCK YARDS IN SOUTH OMAHA JO BE MADE LARGER Extensive Alterations Are Planned to Increase Facili ties; Additional Pens In cluded. Alterations so extensive in their nature that they are only limited to the materials and labor available be tween now and June IS are being made to enlarge the facilities of the stock yards of South Omaha. As soon as they are completed there will be a readjustment of the yardage facilities and the traders' di vision, long located on the east end, will be moved over to the west end, . taking the pens now held in the blocks by the commission men. Cement flooring is being laid on the tract at the west end for the ad ditional pens being built for the ac commodation of the traders. Everett Buckingham, vice president and general manager of the Union Stock Yards company, in announcing the change Friday, said: Buckingham's Announcement. "The change is not intended for the special benefit of either the trad ers' division or the commission men, but primarily for the accommodation of the shipper, who will have the ad vantage of the shorter distance from the cars to the commission -men's pens where the cattle are sold." ' "Under the old arrangement the shipper was at a disadvantage in hav ing to move the cattle from the un loading pens at the east end of the yards through the length of the yards to the west end. The situation will now be eliminated by the traders' division and the commission men ex changing places. Naturally, the traders do not favor the idea of giv ing up the pens they have used for so long, but the changes are intended for the general benefit of the trade by helping the shipper out."
