That the work of constructing a new Interurban line is not all drudgery was evidenced by a very pleasant occurrence bere Tuesday morning. H. E. Dalton, superintendent of the overhead cons ruction work, has been in, charge of. this work ever since the building of the road was: begun.

a most two years ago and as -this work is now nearing completion, the men working under his direction, of whom there are about twenty-five, took advantage of the opportunity Tuesday morning to present him with a very beautiful and valuable silver tea set of six pieces, including pitcher, sugar bowl, etc. It was the intention to present the set to Mr. Dalton on the street during working hours, but as he was going to work at the lower edge of town and some distance away from most of the men the plans had to be changed and the gift presented when they started to work. Mr. Dalton has been with the Tennis Construction Company most of the time for about ten years and is said to be one of the best electrical engineers in the country.

He had charge of the overhead work in the construetion of the south end of the interurban line running from Louisville out to Charleston and later to Sellersburg. The construction work on the same required about two years' time and after its completion he had charge of the operation of the road for about two years." He has been about two years in constructing the road from Sellersburg to Seymour. Besides being an electrical engineer who understands his business pretty thoroughly, he is a man who knows how to manage a large number of workmen and the pleasant incident of Tuesday morning shows how his men learn to love and respect him. George J. Goodbub, who is also ployed on the overhead work, has worked with Mr.

Dalton fo for about six years and is acting 88 time keeper. Both have made many friends and acbus infances th' Seymour. On behalf of the crew Mr. Goodbub presented the gift to Mr. NO Dalton Tuesday mornwith few appropriate words giving additional evidence of the friendship their that every man on the force superintendent.

Dalton was very visibly effected by the surprise but responded the best he could under the circumstances. At nine o'clock the same morning the crew had invited our reporter to be present when their pictures were taken at their work on S. Chestnut street. In a second 'exposure the Sey. mour fire department was photographed in the back ground.
