The most Important. part of the transaction lies in the fact that Gcrlinger contemplates trebling the Bizc of the local plant, accord ing to report, and will greatly en largo the output. It Is probable that he wilt also carry on construc tion hero of his lumber carriers, which with locomotive repair work . have been the backbone of the big Dallas plant which employs from 60 to C5 expert machinists. To Itcpalr Locomotives n addition to locoinotlvo repair work done for the Southern Pa cific company It Is understood the Dallas plant Is on the edge of clos ing a monster dial with the S. P. A S. or North Bank road for re pair work on its locomotives nnd while nothing has been said about It this class of work may nlso be carried on In the enlarged Salem plant. The Dallas plant is six years old. tut has rapidly expanded under the leadership of Gcrlinger who Is considered an Inventfve genius and a wizard in the handling of ma chinery. John Shnnd Is nlso an expert ma chinlst and during his 22 years connection with the Salem Iron Works that institution has expand ed wonderfully. Plan To Knlargo One of the big outputs of the plant under his direction has been the shand centrifugal pump which will still be manufactured at the plant under the new arrangement.

Telephone conversation with of ficials of the plant at Dallas today, however, failed to elicit any def inite Information along the lines of expansion further than that they have ome such plans In mind for the future.

Such a fee, it Is pointed out. would be a legitimate expense that could be pafd out of the proceeds of tiny bonds sold, and this system has been followed in other cities.
