TO DOUBLE TRACK, I The Erie Railroad Has Sent Surveyors to Various Points TO MAKE SURVEYS < i 1 ' . 1 Party of Four Arrived Here Today—Will Probably 1 i ; Start Work at Once. j. In all probability Decatur will be I flooded with work _ne coming summer, ] first the sugar plant will use vast numbers of men, a_.d other public improvements will use many moie and notv comes the Erie railroad with a doubletracking idea which will be pushed this summer. Four Erie railroad engineers arrived inthe city today preparatory to making surveys for the construction of a double track, for a distance of approximately eleven miles each side of j Decatur. The party consists of Messrs. J. E. Welsh of New York City, F. W. Carson of Irwin, Pa.; John L. i Anderson of Pittsburg. Pa, and W. F. Frost of Pittsburg. . Surveys will be at once established . and the work of construction will probably be carried out during the coining summer. The Erie is pursuing a general plan of double tracking and , during the past seasons the track has been built until now it is in operation : from New York to Marion, Ohio. Now I the construction is to be carried on f from Marion, Ohio, to North Judson, Indiana, and will be pushed with vigor. Tuesday a similar party of surveyors were in Huntington, where they have , located. The work of construction will b< done by men who will probably camp near the city, thereby again increasing our business possibilities forth. coming season. Several hundred me:, will be necessary for the carrying on of the work. It was not stated aboui what time the work wood commence e but it is thought that it will be begun as soon as possible in the spring. Con siderable grading must be done befoic ! the bed can be prepared for steel. ' Mr. Frank E. Welsh, chief of the engineers, is opening up an office over II the Charlie Vaglewede shoe store. The [1 part will be here at least eight months. I r THE HUBBARDS ARRIVED TODAY. ' i. Mr. F. H. Hubbard, manager of the i- sugar factory, arrived from St. Louis, . Mich., today, accompanied by his fam ily. For a few days they will be the I guests of E. M. Wagner and family, s while the Van Camp home, which they t have rented, is being prepared for | n them.
