CUBAN CENTRAL PROJECTS 



Mr. J. A. Morson, the general manager 

 of the Cuban Central Railway, recently in- 

 formed a representation of a Saqua pubUca- 

 tion that the company had no intention of 

 transferring its offices and workshop from 

 Saqua, as had been umored. On the con- 

 trary the shops may be enlarged, a new 

 station constructed and storehouses and 

 wharves built at Isabela de Sagua, the north 

 coast part of the City of Sagua la Grande. 

 The company also expects to build more 

 branch lines.
