Show BALLASTING DELAYED ON CUTOFF Superintendent Bailey of the Ogden Rapid Transit company states that tho work of ballasting tho Harrlsvillo cutoff to the Hot Springs has been retarded, re-tarded, owing to the frozen condition of the pit from which the gravel for the ballasting has to be taken. It was anticipated that tho ballasting ballast-ing could he done before the severest cold weather came on and that part of tho road plnced in operation before tho winter was over, but It Is stated by the officers of the company that nothing further can be done until tho frost leaves tho ground. Gravel that was left on flat cars last night was so frozen this morning that It required considerable time to break it up and remove it. |
