I . THURSDAY EVENING, NEW ROUNDHOUSE PLAN OF READING Permit Taken Out Yesterday Calls For Large Expendi ture; Modern Building Reading. Sept. 13.—The old struc ture proving inadequate with the in troduction of modern locomotives of high tonnage and greater length, the Reading Railway Company will erect a. new and modern roundhouse in this city. It will be erected at an esti mated cost of 1175,000 and the permit for the work is the largest that has been issued this year at citf hall. Brick and Steel Built of brick, steel and cement, the new roundhouse will be one of the best in this section and with Its diameter of 227 feet will also' be cne of the largest. The present struc ture has been in use about half a century and the new building will be erected on the site of the old struc ture. With the addition of many locomotives, practically all of which are of the large type esign for hauling heavy freights, the old structure could no longer accommo date them, and the plans for the new building are the result. The opera tion is in line with the progressive moves that are being made by the company in its efforts to render effi cient service. Veteran Celebrates Birthday Anniversary GEORGE P.

Secretary Hammelbaugh Is Credited With Saving Money on School Coal. While the city school board has j finally made an arrangement for the -hauling of coal to buildings after It has been shipped here from the mines, the directors , to-day said much of tho credit for bringing about a satisfactory agreement and the saving of $2,400 for the district was due to Secretary D. D. Hammel baugh. When the board was first con fronted with the exorbitant delivery price asked by local Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company coal dealers. Secretary Hammel baugh pointed out to the supply committee the excessive cost which would be added by a $2 a ton j charge for delivery. For six weeks Mr. Hammelbaugh : had almost complete charge of the situation relative to an arrangement with the Philadelphia Coal Com-1 pany, with the result that on Mon- day at a meeting with W. B. Smith, representing that company. It was decided to the hauling con tract to Ray E. Steward at his bid j of $1.20 a ton. Even at this price coal will cost the district $6,218 more this year than last. The district will buy 2,400 tons of pea coal this year direct from the mines, which Including freight and delivery will cost $6.55 a ton. Last year the total cost was $4.25 a ton. About 550 tons of egg coal will l>o bought at $7.10 a ton. Last year it cost $5.83 a ton . PEA COAL J. B. Montgomery Third and Chestnut Both Phones ' I. W. W.
