TO DOUBLE TRACK The Erie Railroad Has Sent Surveyors to Various Points TO MAKE SURVEYS Party of Four Arrived Here Today—Will Probably Start Work at Once. In all probability Decatur will be ' Hooded with work .he coming summer, first the sugaFTlant will use vast numi bers of men, a;.d other public improveimeats will use many more and now . comes the Erie railroad with a doubletracking idea which will be pushed this summer. Four Erie railroad engineers arrived i inthe city today preparatory to making surveys for the construction of a double track, for a distance of approximately eleven miles each side ol I Decatur. The party consists ot Messrs. J. E. Welsh of New York City. F. W, Carson of Irwin, Pa.; John 1. 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 coming summer. The Erie is pursuing a general plan of double tracking ami 1 during the past seasons the track has ' been built until now it is in operation 1 from New York to Marion. Ohio. Now I the construction is to be carried on from Marioa, Ohio, to North Judson, Indiana, and will be pushed with vigor Tuesday a similar party of surveyors were in Huntington, where they bav ' located. The work of construction will be done by men who will probably camp near the city, thereby again increasing our business possibilities for th-. 1 coming season. Several hundred met. will be necessary for the carrying on of the work. It was not stated about what time the work woud commence 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 the Charlie Voglewede shoe store. The part will be here at least eight months. THE HUBBARDS ARRIVED TODAY. Mr. F. H. Hubbard, manager of the sugar factory, arrived from St. Louis, Mich., today, accosipanied by his family. For a few days they will be the guests of E. M. Wagner and family, while the Van Camp home, which they have rented, is being prepared for them. Mr. Hubbard 1 will at once take charge of affairs for the sugar company here. Mr. Wagner, who was called to S’.. Louis on account of the death of a brother-in-law, returned with Mr. Hubard. FRANK GAS? DOWN STREET. Frank Gass of the Fullenkamp store made his first trip down street this afternoon, after an eight weeks' battle with pneumonia. He is feeling fairly good again, and expects soon to be waiting on the old trade at the store, writing advertisements and boosting for any industry that will help Decatur.
