How Stations are Named.


There is very little red tape in the naming Of
new station or the remaining Of an old one on
the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad. The
selection belongs invariably to the general
superintendent. He suggests the name, and
in the case Of a change of the name of an old
station his choice must be approved by the
board of directors. It has been the policy of
the company to get rid of the duplication of
names. and with this end in view, of late wears
great many changes have been made. It
frequently occurs, however, that the company
would be pleased to give station q new name
because the old title corresponds with dozen
others belonging to the road but it IL found i'm
possible to do 80 because the Inhabitants of
the town or village at the station would not
submit to it. There is invariably breeze from
the inhabitants whenever an old station is given
new name. The duplication of names leads
to confusion and endless veXation in the hand
ling OF freight. Until two years ago there was no
end to the list Of Union, Eagle and Green Tree
stations, but most of these have been rechris-
tened. An official, speaking upon this subject.
said: "We generally try to make the new name
conform to that of the post Office, and sometimes
the name of the post office is changed by the
government officials, and then we conform to it.
The duplication Of the names of stations has led
to much confusion in the business of the road
in the past, and if it were possible don't sup
pose any two stations of the same name would
be permitted fortnight

and cheerfully assist him or any other good citi-

present books are admitted by officers from
other cities to be very near the thing, and better
than those In vogue in other cities. As to the
