The Penn Bridge Company have requested to rush their work on these buildings as rapidly as possible that engines and electric dynamos may may be Installed within the next thir ty days.o . - - All the workmen who can be used are now putting the finishing touches . to these buildings, and it is likely that j the Penn Bridge Company will bo ready to turn them over to Mr. Smith and bis. department as soon as the. machinists can be brought to the city. 1 By the first of , March it is probable that several other buildings at tne new shops will be completed, and it Is' certain that if such Is the case-the railroad will send workmen to the city to Install tho machinery. There is now every-indication that the new shops will bo ready for full operation by the first of July if not sooner, though it is likely that the Penn Erldge Company's work "will ex tend for some time beyond that data. Since the llrst of the year tho work 'ng fcrco at the new shops has been almost doubled and every effort is now bcina made by Mr. Myers to pu&li the work to a raDid completion. The last and longest of the bi uUdingo at the new shops has been commenced.
