Karl GerlinKCr of Dallas in presi

Interest in the business and remain

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

which with locomotive repair work

Dallas plant which employs from
60 to C5 expert machinists.

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

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

The plant itself was founded
way back jn 1865. B. F. Drnko be

While nothing definite has been
decided for early consultation It Is

however, failed to elicit any def

negotiations locking toward the
purchase of the Snlem Water com

The merlins will be for the
purpose of formally launching tin
project and outlining a program.
It i anticipated that the principal
business of the session will hi'
that of devising a plan whereby
competent appraisers can be em
ployed to place a valuation on the

that the city has no funds with
which to hire the expert engineers

work, but the suggestion is ad
vnuced thai it might be powrible I"
get engineers to undertake the
work for a contingent fee based
upon the authorisation of bonds to
acquire the plant.
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.
