slice of the $15,000,000 jast ob
tained by the Southern Railway
will be spent , in improvements at
the Southern's big repair shop in
this vicinity. Quite a number of im-
provementi re contemplated and
if all are made that are desired an
expenditure of a million or more
dollars will be required, whioh
would make these shops equal" to
any on the system. ,
The people of Chestnut Hill are
considering the ways -and means
