lie, especially the houses that send a
large number of men out every year,
have been trying to get the railroads
tC combine on a book which would be
good over all roads. 1t is contended
that if such book is issued it will be
large saving to the commercial
houses. There will be no reduction in
the mileage rates, as the same routes
will be used, but it will be necessary to
have on hand only one box at time
instead of number as Is now the
case.
THE New York Central and the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
companies have an agreement by which
books of either company are good on
either road in this state. 1t Is con-
tended by the officials of these COM
panies that the mileage books they is
sue are more favorable to the travelling
rublic than the interchangeable books
will be, as there is no restriction as To
who is to use them, while the new book
stipulates that 1t can be used only by
the purchaser or by the party whose
name is attached.
notwithstanding this, the passenger
officials of the other roads believe that
both the New York Central and the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
companies will be forced to adopt the
interchangeable book.
During the last three years the
Lackawanna railroad, under the man
agement of President w. II. Truesdale,
las been steadily increasing it's equip
ment until today it has two locomotives
for every three miles and thirty ears
for every one mile of operated track.
In this respect, the Lackawanna is
ahead of many of the Eastern roads"

interchangeable One Is to Be Issued
by Number of Leading Eastern
Railroad Companies.

although some of the railroads in
the trunk lines are not In favor of
adopting an interchangeable mileage
book, it is believed that they will even

this character" says yesterdays Phila-

the general passenger agents of the

at work preparing a plan for IA new
mileage book. This plan, while being
satisfactory to most roads, does not
meet the approval of the New York
Central and the Philadelphia and
Reading, which also takes in the Jer-
sey Central railroad.
1T is understood that even If these
two roads do not consent to the adop-
