MONON TO SPEND $250,000 BUYING NEW FREIGHT CARS Directors of Road Decide on Action to Keep Up with Growing Business The Monon will spend $250,000 for the rebuilding and buying of new freight cars, it was decided at the annual meeting of the directors held in Indianapolis yesterday. This is necessary because of the increase in both coal and stone traffic. The work of building will be done the coming year at the Monon shops. H. R. Kurrie, president of the road, presented the draft of the 1926 program for the Monon that included the rebuilding of 500 freight cars.
