LAcKAWANNA NOTES.

Chief Engineer Fox of the Morristown
Fire Department learned upon inquiry
at the freight depot Monday that the new
management had ordered the car that
was formerly at the disposal of the fire.
men to the Dover shops. This fat car
had been at the disposal of the Morris
town Department for many years and
could be used when necessary TO take the
apparatus to neighboring towns along
the line.
The Paterson Gail comments on the
Lackawanna editorially, as follows /:
+" The new management of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad has
taken formal charge of affairs, and it is
now expected that there will be many
new improvements introduced. The
road is to be run hereafter for the bene-
fit of the public, it is announced, and the
Improvements promised are most well
come to everybody living along the
line"
Trainmen representing the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of
Railway Conductors called on President
w. H. Truesdale, of the D., L. & w.
Railroad Monday and arranged for
conference next week between repre-
sentatives of their organization and the
officials of the railroad. Mr.. Truesdale
said the men wanted pay on the mileage
basis, instead of a certain amount per
month. The former system is much in
vogue in Western roads. The milage
rate would mean more pay for the men,
he said, but how much, he was unable
to tell at present.
