Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
Railway Spending Quarter Mil
lion Dollars in improvements
The Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh Railway Company is re-build
ing seven thousand coal box, stock
and refrigerator cars and placing
steel itnderframes under them. Dur
ing the past year of business depres
! sion t his work was put into effect in
the Company's own shops, although
'it is usually customary on most
railroads to have same done by the
I car building companies. The object
!in this was to keep employed men j
who would otherwise have been out
of work.
That the management of the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
Railway is much encouraged by the
general business outlook is indicated
by plans for improvements involving
an expenditure of over a quarter of a
million dollars during the fall months.
! An order has been placed with the
American Locomotive Company for
twenty two boilers to be applied to
engines. A total of thirty seven
locomotives will be equipped with
i superheating apparatus and Wals
charet valve gears. An air compres
sing plant will be installed and a new
blacksmith and machine shep erected
at Du Bois. A considerable sum
will be expended on apparatus for
repairing storage batteries used in
the coaches equipped with electric
lights.

NO MORE LOANS
CONTEMPLATED
BY THE ALLIES |
New York. Oct. 21— J. P. Mor
gan & Co. announced tonight that [
no further public credit loan to
Great Britain and France was
contemplated in the near future. I
After the recent $500,000,000
loan to these two countries, there
had been rumors that another
loan would be made along some
what similar lines, which includes!
public offering of foreign bonds
to investors in this country.
j
It now appears from the state
ment issued by the Morgan firm,
that the supplemental credits con- j
templated to Great Britain and j
France are to be banking credits
and will not involve the issuance
of bonds, which will he offered to
the investing public.

President William T. Noonan.
of the 8., R. & P.. was a recent!
\isitor over the local division of
the road and in conversation he
expressed himself in very optimis
tic terms in regard to the future,
especially of this section of the
country. He stated that coal bus-;
iness was picking up to a large ex
tent and that the railroad was
hauling a larger tonnage than had I
been the case for some time. Mr.l
Noon is of the opinion that busi
ness conditions throughout the
country are improved to a large
{
extent and there is every reason ,
■ to believe that this particular sec-•
i tion will benefit largely by the
istimulated trade conditi ous
i throughout the United States.
Local officials of the 8., R. & P.
, also stated that conditions are im
' proving steadily on the Pittsburg j
and Middle divisions and that the'
tonnage originating in the coal)
producing territory has increased
very largely during the past seve- j
ral months. Trade conditions were
away below normal on the B. R.!
P. for over a year, but officials •
I state that it has increased rapid-1
jlv within the last several weeks!
and that the same steady develop
j ment of shipping will soon see the
tonnage increased to normal.
The mines in the Indiana and
Jefferson. county fields are runn
ing better right along and the out
look promises a continuance of the
improved conditions.

Stand for tbe Bad Side
walks Any Longer
■
•J. W. McAnulty, burgess of
Blairsviile, has submitted to the
borough council a letter protest
ing against the bad condition of
the sidewalks of the town and de
claring that council must take
steps at once to have the defects
i repaired.
The borough lias an ordinance
which provides that sidewalks
must be well maintained. The fail
ure of the property owners to do
tl is is a violation of the ordinance
he says, and the failure of the
town council to see that the ordiu
jance is not lived up to is even
i worse.
There is likelv to be some lively
i sidewalk repairing in Blairsviile
' before long.
