6 DEAL
Peter W. Meyn. as representative of
the Pennsylvania railroad, today closed a deal whereby the big tract of land at Berry Lake that is being converted into a railroad ward Is complete, with a single exception. One small portion of land held by an old settler, will have to be condemned, as the owner's price is exorbitant.
The task of obtaining the last ten
acres necessary for the completion of
the project has taxe 1 the resourcefulness of the Hammond financier. But he made good, and it will be a merry Christmas for him tomorrow. With the closing of the last deal, however, everything is ready for the erection of the, shops and round house. Between 700 and 1.000 men will be employed by the Pennsylvania railroad at Berry Lake. The company will spend half a million dollars In eonstruation.
