Mayor Moore today will ask Council
to postpone action on condemnation of
Parkway properties bounded by Eight
eenth, Nineteenth. Vine nnd Wood
streets,' ns n measure of economy,
The city hns not yet filed a bond for
the properties, most of which arc resi
dences, and the Mayor takes the posi
tion thnt it is not wise at this time to
put the city under the great expense of
condemnation proceedings.
The oxdlnancc which the Mayor seeks
to repeat turns the properties over to
tho Fnlrmount Park Commissioners.
The Immenso expense that would fall on
the city, together with the acute housing
conditions, Is understood to have per
suaded the Mnor to the belief that
the properties Bhould rcmnln untouched.
It wns pointed out thnt all the prop
erties arc outside of the line of the
Parkway. While It Is conceded the

is requested. The next largest item is

80 of this Locomotive
was made in St. Louis
Why not All of it?
s
THE St. Louis industrial district makes 80 per cent of the parts of
a. locomotive. The assembling oi the locomotive is done in plants
in Eastern cities. The only parts not made in St. Louis are the
tubes, injectors, boiler sheets and tires for the drive wheels. This means
a takc-it-there-and-bring-it-back haul of nearly all of the materials and
parts. They are shipped to the East, and then the finished .product is
shipped back to St. Louis to supply the great railroad systems of the
Mississippi Valley, South, Southwest and Far West.
Approximately 25 per cent of the entire
weight of a locomotive is steel castings.
St. Louis is the largest open-hearth steel
casting center in the world, producing
more than 300,000 tons a year. St. Louis
is recognized as one of the best scrap
markets in the country. The climate of
St. Louis admits of open-air work more
days in the year than any other large
manufacturing city in the United States.
The recent advance in freight rates means a large increase in distribution for plants
with a long haul cither of raw materials or the finished product. A Mid-West
plant in St. Louis for the economical manufacture and distribution of locomotives
would assure an enormous saving in transportation costs. This would mean either
larger returns for stockholders, or a wider margin for competitive price quotations.
A locomotive works is one of the following sixteen industries St. Louis is seeking:
St. Louis is one of the large railroad
centers of the country. Twenty-six rail
roads cuter the city. It is the logical
distribution point for rolling stock to the
great railway systems throughout more
than one-half of the United States.
About 60 per cent of the locomotives in
use are used on the railroads in the
Middle West, Southwest and South.
