Today Only aBtBBnBaPKEBaagaa SUSQUEHANNA', Feb. 22. The Erie Railroad company, through the president's office today, announced that Susquehanna had been definitely decided upon as the location of the consolidated passenger coach reconditioning shops for the Erie system. The board of directors of the Erie company has approved the budget' which calls for a total expenditure of thirty two million dollars for improving the Erie system In 1929. Of this sum fully one half million dollars will be expended in Susquehanna in transforming the former locomotive shops here into a modern' passenger coach reconditioning shop, and making other improvements.

The plans for the coast shops here have been approved, and work will be started on making the changes and establishing the shops here Just as soon as the materials can be delivered, and the work started. The shops when in full running order, which will be by mid summer, will employ a steady force of about 300 men. The present passenger coach shops at North Hawthorne, N. Buffalo, N. and Kent, will be discontinued and work formerly done in those plants will be carried' on here.

It will be necessary for tha Erie to bring skilled passenger coac men here, as the work is unusually Important, yet it Is to be believed that a large portion of the force will eventually bo people who have long called Susquehanna their home town, The estimated cost of transforming the locomotive shops into a modern passenger, reconditioning plant is $378,524.00. A new coaling station is to be erected at a cost of about $200,000. It will be located west of the depot. The yards are to be enlarged and improved, and flood lights installed to facilitate night work. The east bound yards are now so equipped, and the westbound yards are to be similarly arranged.
